Tropical storm Ike ( because that 's what he was by the time he reached us ) came and went past Mabel 's House this weekend . I , for one , am a weather nut . I turn on the tv and watch the warnings , listen for signs of fear in the meteorologists ' voices and constantly check out the window .
Why are some local residents frightened ?
