but you are more likely to be killed by execution by the state, than you are by the forces of a serious weather event.

Please, PLEASE don't think for a moment that I am ignorant of your concerns - I live in Florida, I know what severe weather is like.

But if nothing else, you should be able to take some solace...some comfort in knowing that you and your family will be OK.

All the best
