How? You've just said we're 60 hours away from the nearest thing to
hit! Are you saying the sea state will make the boat fall apart? Are
you saying the masts gonna fall down and break a hole in the hull? How
often have either of these things happened to UKRSers?

You really must watch "The Perfect Storm", the movie. It is a true story
and the swell reality shown pitchpoling the fishing vessel isn't just a
writer's fantasy. I could happen to YOU.

It's a special effect, not actual film.

If the film is truly true, how can we know exactly what happened? There were
no survivors and no surviving record. It is surmise. Believe this and you'll
start believing that Arnie has in fact been sent back in time from the
future to save California from......oh forget it!

Live in the real world, not Hollywood.
(Cross posting takes us in to a wished-for world of American fantasists).
P.S. I know Arnie is actually a robot, but he won't save California with his
current budgetary policies (or lack of them).

Duncan, you are using the wrong nick. It should be "Dr. Pangloss."

By the way, my barometer on the wall opposite my desk deep in darkest Manhattan
is still pegged at the low reached here during that storm: 969 mb. Normal is
about 1014 mb.
