It's normal to feel a little "disappointment". Most of us would like nothing better than to say "I told ya so" to all those acquaintances who scoff at our preparedness efforts.
I remember back in 79 when I was living in military housing at Fort Stewart, GA, we experienced a small hurricane. I parked my beloved 78 Pinto on the back patio. It provided the car some protection due to the shape of the house, and it also allowed the car to shield the patio sliding glass doors. Although we had some gusts to 50 or 60mph and a LOT of horizontal rain, nothing bad happened. I sooooo hoped that all of my neighbors vehicles would be crushed by falling pine trees and their windows taken out by flying tree limbs. It was quite disappointing <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
