When I was a bayou boy on the Mississippi and Louisiana Gulf Coast, we had a wonderful old collie who was my best friend, and you can bet your butt he was always with us when the storms came boiling up out of the Gulf. Sometimes, while the grownups were getting things ready, Shep and I went down to the beach (2 short blocks away), to see the darkening edge of the horizon as it grew. You could see the top of the hurricane from 30 miles out, hours before it slammed us. That was years before the weather around the world became crazy dangerous the way it is now. Hurricane Camille topped out around 200mph in our area and was amazingly worse than any in history. Now, with the climate fouled up, every year at least one gets over 200. You watch your six o'clock, Bob. Its not the way it was out there.
