Let me see if I've got this straight.

The wildfires are in Hawaii.

The hurricane is in California.

The tornadoes were in New England.

Is that about the size of it?

eye of the storm

Power outage and wind, and possible floods, depending on your location.

One other non-obvious thing: beware of the eye of the hurricane. If the wind and rain suddenly diminish or even stop, that doesn't mean the storm has passed, it means you're in the middle of the storm, with high winds all around you. That means the rain and wind are likely to start again as suddenly as they stopped, with similar force.

The eye is a lot smaller than the storm around it, so even if the storm passes through your area, the eye probably won't.

The eye is when you run outside real fast and add extra nails or pull something that blew into your yard (eg neighbor's patio umbrella) into a safe place where it won't put a hole in a roof.

Thanks; I think we're not getting the brunt of the storm, but still more Weather than we've ever had in my lifetime ^^;
