“Motivational speaker Michael Levy believes folks can enjoy even the stormiest hurricane by simply changing their mental state of mind,” according to this article, entitled “Motivational Speaker Turning ‘Hurri-can’ts’ Into ‘Hurri-cans.’”

I know there’s nothing funny in the hurricane-caused death and destruction Ivan, Frances, Charley, and Jeanne wreaked. But for those who escaped the storms, this little known recent Swedish weather incident serves as a reminder not to feel too smug and secure: This could happen to you!
