Sometimes during our long autumn-winter-spring period I dream of living by the ocean-side but looking at this.... I start to love our God-Blessed climate

Indeed - the things we call "hurricane" or "storm" are just light wispers of the wind comparing to real storms and hurricanes down there. The only "tornado" that ever happend in Moscow as my grandmother can remember has only draught some fishes from the Moscow-river and threw it on the roofs
