Ok, no country is as safe as Singapore where there is only rain or sunshine. In USA, there is hail storms, snow, thunderstorm, tornadoes , hurricanes, cyclone etc.. What is the difference? Well, I would have no clue when I am in Singapore as who cares? But now that I am in US, I decided to check it out on the internet and find out more. Thank God for internet- it is a cool thing with vast knowledge!
They are almost similar. Hurricane occurs in and around the ocean, tornadoes occur on land. Cyclone is a generic name for any type of low pressure center that spins counterclockwise. It seems that in different places, they call it differently. So, that explains why people are confused.
Well,right now this morning, there is a tornado and thunderstorm warning here in Mobile. What I am impressed about US is that there weather report is very detailed. They even have a special weather channel. They talk about the wind directions and a week's report on the weather. And the report is very accurate as they study the wind directions and all.They say that today, there will be a thunderstorm with 100% rain from noon. How accurate. Unlike Singapore, they will report and say, rain over certain areas today. Duh! Too general.
With or without a storm, I will still stay at home indoors and enjoy my TV and computer. Well, that is not the only thing I do, but will prepare for dinner, read a book, and watch my VCDs.
Worried about the storm? Well, no. Always stay cool, calm and collected because God is with me. If He decides to take me away, then He will take care of everything. Nothing to worry. Wish more people can experience this peace, that is all.
