Some losses are like tornadoes. You know the requisite conditions are there, but you never really know ahead of time. When they hit you, the extent of the damage is magnified by the shock of suddenness and disbelief.
Other losses are like hurricanes: you can see them forming well in advance. You monitor them for days as they march toward you, hoping they'll veer off harmlessly in another direction, but the models tell you to expect to be in its path. So you prepare. Once they strike, the results may be no less catastrophic to you, but without the element of surprise, they don't seem (to me, at least, and assuming you evacuated as you ought) as psychologically devastating.
Auburn 2013 was a tornado.
Clemson 2017 was a hurricane.
