Hey thats a new place, though I don't get into North Vancouver much. Weird when a Dutchmen is showing me a new place to eat in my own city!
As for the Carolina Hurricanes, we occasionally "knock the wind out of em". Currently though the Canucks are getting the wind knocked out of them for their new hockey jerseys. Yet another uniform change....
That's if it gets here. Lately there's been plenty of nasty looking clouds, lightning and hot air, but hardly any rain. Yes here in AZ you actully look foward to seeing a hurricane.
I still say California. Nice weather for the most part. Earthquakes are nothing to worry about really if you live inland a little bit, plus unlike all your weather related problems, earthquakes of a size to really hurt anything are rather uncommon and don't come every season. I've been through one major earthquake in the San Francisco Area. Yes there was a lot of damage and lives lost to the west, but where I was, the room shook for 17 seconds and that was it. Nothing else happened. No real damage.
