She certainly can be violent if she chooses.

I have had the displeasure of going through 4 cyclones over my life and the devastation they can cause is bad, but thankfully not so deadly as what the Philippines have experienced with the Typhoon nor the USA with the Tornados.

Sympathies to all who are suffering as a result.

Cheers Smithydog. For me its been 2 bush fires, my house flooded and one earthquake. If there is a positive its that people can put their differences away as we all suffer.

So right. I also went through 2 big floods and after every event the way people just help out is amazing. I have life long friends I have made during such events. Once cooked burgers on a grill all day for a week to feed all the people cleaning up. The amount of food donated was simply overwhelming and all you heard was "how can I help?"

It shows the good side of Humanity for a change.
