47. When hurricanes hit Florida, TN gets storms with passengers

East TN gets the remains of most big hurricanes and tropical storms that hit in the south. We get Florida's hurricane remnants that frequently have tropical insects in them.

A couple of years ago after a heavy rain from the remains of a hurricane, I went out to see what the dogs were barking about. They had surrounded a fist sized big black bug. It looked a lot like that roach or palmetto bug. It was still alive and scampering. I thought it was an invasion but we only got one like that. It died a couple hours later.
