Q1. How do you think that you would react and what would your response bein the face of a hurricane?

To avoid oneself from a suicidal attack one has to be vigilant in his surroundings, keeping an eye on the people around. If somebody is wearing odd clothes e.g. warm clothes in summer season with a strange behavior or holding some heavy bag with a hesitant and frightened face, I shall inform the police about him.
