but how does it affect you GEEEG, I know america is big still I can't even imagine a hurricane and for some people it's just normalAmerica is a pretty big place, most parts of the country aren't dealing with hurricanes at all (although they'll have stuff like earthquakes and tornadoes which are honestly worse than hurricanes IMO)
Even if a hurricane comes nearby most of the time it doesn't really affect you, usually it just means more rain at best and power outages and some minor flooding at worst, but even those can be alleviated by installing a generator
