Riding the storm out
September 2nd, 2004 / #hurricanes, #letters
Dear Hurricane Frances,
While I know that you’re wreaking havoc and destroying much that lies in your path, I would like to extend a warm welcome to Florida. I know that you’re getting a bad wrap about all the damage you cause; I understand that it’s your nature to spin and release fury upon all who dare to build their lives upon the feeble sands in the tropics, and I respect that you have the inalienable right to remain a hurricane, even in the midst of such animosity against you influenced by the biased media.
This letter is probably different than others you’ve received as of late, in that its intent is neither to disgrace your very nature nor to beg your mercy, but to thank you for all you do for us. Only you would have the genius to strike at such an opportune time for Pinellas County schoolchildren. Your welcome party coupled with Labor Day awards us with a four day weekend. You, my friend, are an asset to societal schedules, and for this, I thank you. Hurricane Frances, you are my friend.
Love,
Casey
P.S. While I respect your power, I don’t particularly want to be negatively affected by it. May I suggest Cuba? Nobody likes Cuba.

YOU are my friend
By the way if you clicked Casey’s link you have to clear your cookies and files to make mine work. You see the way the site does this is it inserts the text included in the url in the Shockwave presentation, and the Shockwave presentation knows what this text is because of a file(or a cookie, I’m not sure) that is stored on your computer. So unless you clear that Shockwave will refer to the stored component on your computer from the previous one.
Aw and also, poor Frances keeps getting compared to hurricane Charley. I’m sure she must get tired of storming in his path; Frances is her own hurricane.
