Fireman's Fund advertisement 3:55 pm ET, CNBC: "Life is a tornado watch, you can hunker down in the basement . . . or you can sit on the roof[or the porch or somewhere] and say, "I knew you were coming, that's why I didn't rake the leaves." The tag line was something like, "Let's get on with it."

Rather than try to interpret this ad, I'd simply encourage you to watch it. This is one of those situations where you can observe a lot simply by watching. By the way, my "quotes" above are just paraphrasing.
