I feel like as you travel west the natural disasters get far less fun and social. Sigh.

In Florida, you typically have days to hours to dodge a hurricane. Plenty of time to prepare a proper party. In the Midwest, we usually have about 10m to an hour to run to the liquor store before a tornado, usually which is followed by the neighborhood gathering outside watching the incoming destruction. In California, you have a few seconds to get under a doorway. Hardly enough time to run to fridge for a proper brewski. How do y'all manage?
