WHAT ELSE COULD HAPPEN !!!

Things are not always easy here in”Paradise”. For the past several days we had been tracking a Hurricane headed towards our end of the Island. At its strongest it was a category 4 storm with 140 mph winds. We dutifully prepared for the worst then waited. To make matters worse when the storm was about to hit us we had a 5.4 earthquake nearby. It was one of the many quakes associated with the erupting volcano not to far from us. As I type this I am thinking it makes us look really loony for moving here!
Anyway the storm weakened, went south of us, and eventually amounted to nothing.
The earthquakes come an go and the eruption is in a remote area. Today just when everything was settling down an earthquake in Peru caused a brief Tsunami advisory for the Islands but it has been canceled .I am reminded of something my dad used to say during a rough period in his life

WHAT ELSE COULD HAPPEN !!!
