Before I moved to texas I had never heard of a "Thunderstorm alert". The only thing more boring than the weather here is the terrain; flat and brown as far as one can see. They also have a different definition of flash flood. Which btw "flash flood" warnings normally accompany the "thunderstorm alerts" when they interrupt TV programs with their urgent news.
Of course anyplace that water occurs naturally here has been made into a state park.
Last time ice accumulated on roads here the company I worked for gave "I survived the ice storm" T-shirts to people who managed to make it to work that day.
Actually the most severe weather here goes unreported because it's the norm here for 9 months out of the year. No need for a humidor, just leave your cigars outside, but put them in mason jars with small holes poked in the lid so that cockroaches won't carry them away.
I know I keep saying it, but someday I really will return to civilization.
