That is a point I have tried to get across to people. Boring is a sign things are under control. Boring is good.

Drama, sweating out short rations or supplies, any need to run, heroic action, excitement in general, are all clear signs of things not being under control, of a failure of foresight, planning, preparation, or imagination. Having things planned out so that everything that needs to be done can be accomplished in good time working at a calm, measured pace. When everything gets done without any drama, confusion, or need to rush it is a sign that things are under control. Boring is very good.

Ida is now disipating rapidly. I have reassumed HurCon 5 until either another storm approaches or Dec 1st arrives!

Boring is very very good!!!!

I have often heard people say they were dying of boredom, but I have never seen anybody actually die of it.

I wouldn't call it boring, I'd call it "routine". Most people have no appreciation for how nice "routine" is, or how much work can be involved in making the response to unusual things routine.

Boring is good.

Caution doesn't usually end up costing as much as misplaced complacency.
