Maybe not, but when that storm is gone, the danger is gone.  Up here the danger has just started when the storm is over - people can die from hypothermia.  When your house is gone you can pitch a tent in a clear spot in the yard and you're perfectly safe.

Hurricanes can last up to a full 24 hours or more and there is no way being cold can be worse than having things flying at you at 150 mph or more. No food, no water, no gas in you car if your car is not damaged...

You can always run to a house next to you for shelter but all the houses here would be a hazard and are in shambles.

24 hours is not a week or more.  I'm not saying hurricanes are not dangerous - but they are not a long term danger like -15 degree temperatures with no power.

He got people talking about something, anyway. Isn't that what it's all about?  ;D
