Look at you, all bad ass and shit with your hurricanes. Well, Michigan gets tornados every now and then that usually miss everything and do little damage, so there!

Sounds like it will blow a lot of shit around. Hoping it knocks power out at work and the underground utilities at home stay power-up :)

My property insurance is $2 k a year and I'll pretty much guarantee your provider doesn't insure Florida.

You don't think there is collusion in the property insurance industry? Part of your $2k is there to cover CA when the next big one hits.
