NOT a joke of the Leprechauns but of Hurricanes!

NOT a joke of the Leprechauns but of Hurricanes!

9.19.2007

Just got finished reading Neil Kastor’s blog article: How Far North Can A Hurricane Go? Interesting article Thanks for the reminder Neil, about how a storm in one section of the world can certainly affect others in distant lands. For me the important thing to remember is that we need to be prepared for all sorts of disasters including ‘extratropical’ storms.

The first time I traveled by ferry from Wales to Ireland I was shocked when we docked, there were no leprechauns INSTEAD there were Palm Trees! I thought want a lousy joke until a staff member told me that when there are hurricanes on my side of the ‘pond’ also known as the United States, often small palm trees are uprooted and get caught in the water streams / currents of the Atlantic Ocean and ultimately lands on the coast of Ireland.

Just goes to prove we are just one great big neighborhood!
