Thank you to everybody that contribute to the weather forum. For someone like me, who watches little television and doesn't own a radio, this is vital. I may not even find out a hurricane is coming until the last moment, leaving me without vital supplies, such as beer and ingredients for a sancocho.
I would like, however, to suggest that we implement an easier way of explaining the seriousness of the situation using terms easier to understand than CAT 1 (what's that?) or wind speed (it can't be dangerous if it doesn't go faster than my car). I am really serious about this.
This is my suggestion: In honoring our beloved previous president we can name our system after him (there is a joke to be made here but I can't think of one for the life of me).
Category Hipo 5: Light rain and not really fast wind. Make sure to leave windows closed at home. Warn your boss that you will not show up on that day due to the hurricane. Stock on beer and ingredients for Sancocho.
Category Hipo 4: A lot of rain and strong winds. Don't let the kids play outside. Fasten everything that might be blown during the storm. Warn your boss that you will not show up on that day due to the hurricane. Stock on beer and ingredients for Sancocho.
Category Hipo 3: Will rain cats and dogs. Wind may blow your cat and dog. Suggest a beach day-trip to your mother in law. Warn your boss that you will not show up on that day due to the hurricane. Stock on beer and ingredients for Sancocho.
Category Hipo 2: Will rain like there's no tomorrow. There may be no tomorrow. Get insurance, fast. Warn your boss that you will not show up on that day due to the hurricane. Stock on beer and ingredients for Sancocho.
Category Hipo 1: Panic!
