Reminds me of a cute anecdote my trainer told me. He is a Lithuanian immigrant who lives in Chicago. He told me that his mother (still in Lithuania) panicked when she saw the devastation of Hurricane Katrina on TV, assuming that he must have been effected and might even be homeless. She had a difficult time accepting that he did not even see any rain from the storm.
