With Kate off on a disaster, Barb Lonsky interviews Michelle Howe, an ex-Florida resident who lived through the 2004 hurricane season. Michelle shares her first hand experience of that nightmare season. 

We all know that things are getting stranger.  With wildfires, floods, tornados, volcanoes, landslides and hurricanes, it seems that there's a new disaster nearly every day.  
Guess what?  In the past month there were MORE than a new disaster every a day.  Go around the world with us as we look at what's been happening in August 2021.
