There is an ancient story that may be instructive for those who tend to panic or fall prey to the Chicken Little syndrome -- "the sky is falling, the sky is falling."
The story goes this way --
A man sent his servant to the market place to buy provisions and a little while later the servant returned, white with fear and trembling.
"What is wrong?" the man said.
"Well, Sir," the servant said, "when I was in the market I was jostled by a person in the crowd and when I looked, I saw it was Death. Please, lend me your horse. I am going to ride away from here and avoid my fate. I will go to Samarra and avoid Death."
The horse was lent and the servant fled.
Then the man went to the market and saw Death in the crowd.
"Why did you make a threatening gesture to my servant this morning?" he asked.
"It was not a threatening gesture," Death said.
"I was totally taken by surprise to see him here because I had an appointment with him tonight in Samarra."
Substitute hurricane for Death, Central Florida for Samarra, and the Howard Frankland Bridge and I-4 for the horse and you get the idea.
