6. Seems to be a Regional Thing

I was in Portland Oregon going to grad school in 1995 when a big storm hit. Nothing like a hurricane but pretty intense nonetheless.

The entire city shut down hours ahead of the storm. At first I thought they were over reacting but when the storm hit there was a lot of damage (and extended power outages). Seems authorities and businesses in some places are better at protecting their people.
