'Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned'

And her name is Hurricane Frances.

"Heavy rain. High winds near 90 mph. Shredded roofs and uprooted trees. 4 million people without electricity. 86,000 people in shelters. The Florida voting system.

As far as disasters go, I'll take California earthquakes any day."
-- All The Grey In Between, 9.05.04
Breaking up is hard to do, especially when you're on the receiving end. The famous "scorned woman" quote is a variation of a line of dialog from the play 'The Mourning Bride' by William Congreve, 18th century English poet and playwright. The play also included the classic "Music has charms to soothe a savage breast."

That won't work in this instance, because hurricanes are louder than music.
