Every year... same stories.

Blizzards in the Northeast.
Hurricanes in the South.
Tornadoes in the Midwest.
Earthquakes and Wildfires in the West.

And the media always manages to act so surprised. <img src="/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

Oh and I forgot the occasional flooding and droughts.

I liked what one newscaster mentioned about how it's important to evacuate to safety and not worry about bringing your new plasma TV or DVD player with you. Duh.
