Remembering a crazy week in Colombian weather.

On the 3rd of November in 2007, Bogotá got slammed by a crazy hail storm. Three days later it was hit by a tornado.

Ok Gator....I will offer a "point".

In Medellin there is a storm overhead. Nothing new, I have been here several years and this now seems a daily occurence.Consequence: daily habit, leave tv and computer on whilst subconsciously evaluating episcentre of storm. If lightening reaches within 2 kms of residence unplug electrical appliances, aerial's, etc. This is what my grandmother taught me so it must be correct....no arguements please.

Ok Gator....don't say it (What is your point?). My point is that I have now become so accustomed to the violence of these storms that it has slowly, but surely, altered motor reactions. I only noticed this when some visitors from Europe cowered from this unusual (to them) violence and suggested a priest should be summoned for potential last rites....surely this is the end of the world?

And my point is....I'm not really sure. I think it is that we become accustomed to everything, even those beyond our wildest dreams.....with time.

I will agree-when things become common place they become unimportant. Well do I remember the one in Bogotá. It kinda brings it home when it happens where you live and on routes you often travel.
