Growing up in Oregon, then living in Germany and US Midwest, I didn't think about them much in my day-to-day life. After 10 years in NC I'm less afraid of them (I used to be terrified to fly anywhere near one) and so much more knowledgeable. Always happy when we get through hurricane season!<br /><br />Thanks for participating in the #MyGlobalLife Link-Up!
