Re: Hurricane Guide For Dummies: Chapter 1 and 2-1/2

CHAPTER 3: THE TIME HAS COME!

Well, fortunately for everyone that is unprepared, we now have a real, live Tropical Depression somewhere. The reason they call it a "Tropical Depression" is obvious: this poor storm system is depressed because it knows that Haita, Cuba and other landmasses have a 3-1 advantage over it. Tropical depressions do not like this; therefore, they tend to become Tropical Storms. This way, they actually have a name. Who wants to be known as just another number? For hypothetical reasons, we will name this storm Ed. Here is how the next 865 minutes and 4-1/2 seconds will play out.

CHAPTER 5 - TROPICAL STORM ED FORMS!

It doesn't really matter where TS Ed forms because we are pretty sure we know where he is going. Right towards our houses. As he bobs and weaves his way through upper level lows, shear, ridges, fronts and land, the experts will now begin to show you the "CONE OF DEATH". No matter where you live, somehow you will be in that cone --- if only for 32 seconds. You begin to look for the experts to tell you YJAroximately where this storm will hit. When they cannot pinpoint EXACTLY where landfall will be 10 days from now, you get extremely upset. But you are probably thinking, "Yeah right...like it will ever hit me!, you fools!"

CHAPTER 5 --- IT'S COMING YOUR WAY! NOW IS THE TIME TO GET HYSTERICAL!

It's 4:48am in the morning. Time for the NHC to tell you where they think it's going. The "Cone of Death" is all too familiar to you now...you're almost becoming friends with the "Cone of Death", mostly because it looks like a very lopsided ice cream cone..

More to come...."A HURRICANE IS HEADED YOUR WAY" + plus "HOW TO MAKE SURE YOU SPEND AS MUCH TIME IN WALMART TO GIVE YOUR HUSBAND/WIFE A HUGE BILL".
