In the past few months hurricanes have taken an enormous toll on our Gulf States, with Harvey and Irma hammering Houston and parts of Florida.
What I found fascinating about the hurricanes was the wall-to-wall news coverage showing the possible tracks of the storms, their wind velocities, etc. As is now common in our “news is entertainment” world, the reporters breathlessly stated that this is the “biggest hurricane ever,” and “authorities are recommending that everyone evacuate.” So Mother Nature once again demonstrates that she’s in control and we’d better be prepared.
