Back when I was a teenager and involved in the Civil Air Patrol and the Ground Observer Corp, I went toward the hurricanes that came into the North Carolina coast. We hunkered down until it passed and then provided emergency power and communications. It was exciting, but I wouldn't do it now.

I grew up in tornado country and would much rather face a hurricane than a tornado. I also lived in earthquake country for awhile and rate hurricanes less scary than earthquakes.
