"The world is your oyster, hon. Go out and give it your April Dawn all," my mother wrote in my graduation card.

Three years ago, I moved to Florida for five months as a member of the Walt Disney World College Program. While there, I never once experienced a hurricane. The most inclement weather we had was a tornado warning that kept us in the shop for the day and highly annoyed the guests.
As a child in California, I was in one small earthquake. As an adolescent in Missouri, there were so many tornadoes that I got to the point of sleeping through one of them. There, I also survived the Great Ice Storm of 2007. As a college student in Colorado, there were a number of blizzards. But through all of that, I was never in a hurricane. So of course on the day I'm meant to leave Ireland for a trip to Scotland, Hurricane Ophelia decides to show up. |
