LOL, that's funny because I've slept through some rather inclement weather before.

Several years back, when hurricane Opal tore through the southeast, I slept right through it. I remember vividly: I was in high school, and it happened on a school day. I remember waking up to the sound of chainsaws and big trucks zooming through my neighborhood. I looked outside and saw a tree that split a neighbors house nearly in two. I rolled out of bed at about 11AM, and found my parents in the backyard clearing debris. I asked what in the hell just happened, and they explained it to me. Then went on about how they had no idea how a person could sleep through such turbulent weather. I remember them saying how they thought were were all going to have to adjourn into the cellar, and how they were certain the roof was going to blow right off the house.

I was oblivious to it all, and just happy to get out of going to school that day. Still, I was pretty proud of honestly being able to claim that I could sleep through a hurricane. Don't know why. Now that I have a child, I'll find myself waking up every time he so much as farts in the middle of the night!
