An ex-coworker and her family would rent a house on the beach in the Carolinas every year during hurricane season. On purpose. In the event of storm warnings they would refuse to be evacuated and would have an extra-big party at which they served Hurricanes as the beverage of choice and watch the storm approach. This included the year that the storm did hit and swept all the water out of the pool in front of the beach-side window wall of their rented home.

She was later found to be crazy. When she popped her noodle we quietly made arrangements for her to be admitted to another hospital. This is a service we cheerfully provide for our employees and their relatives.
