person A: There once was a hurricane approaching my area.
person B: Ah! That's always such a scary thing_comma_ because there's such a dreaded anticipation that goes along with it_comma_ a whole_comma_ "Will it? Won't it?" kind of game of seeing whether it will head in your direction. I live in the southeast_comma_ so I've dealt with worrying about plenty of them.
person A: I am so happy I was ready for it.
person B: Yeah_comma_ there's always that fury of activity by everyone to go stock up on gas_comma_ groceries_comma_ and other materials like batteries_comma_ etc. So_comma_ did it ultimately end up hitting you_comma_ or no?
person A: No_comma_ just a few trees fell in the front yard. Thank goodness.
