I'm active, but only when they really need me. Seems as if I'm one of 
the few willing to take a *closer look* than most.  Some one remarked 
that with an *experienced car* (hail damage and missing paint) that's 
also capable of cross country with 4WD.   I don't worry about it like 
the other guys do.  I don't think it's the paint on their cars that 
concerns them...and I do not fault them for that.
I've been communications for shelters when they had a train derailed 
near/in Freeland MI some years back and had to evacuate most of the 
town.  Really nasty stuff in those tank cars.  Wind changed and we had 
to evacuate the shelter about 3:00 AM. <:-))
