When I was younger, I was always afraid of storms. So when I learned about hurricanes, I was downright terrified.
Then one day my dad told me not to worry, because hurricanes on;y started over large bodies of water, and we live in the suburbs of Chicago, Illinois.
Well, my next-door neighbor had a pool.
I remember waiting for a hurricanes to start over that pool whenever there was a thunderstorm outside.
