When I was reviewing the literature for this thread, I found an interesting analogy—Hurricane Dean’s windspeed at landfall was comparable to the speed of a commercial jet at takeoff.

To anybody in a small shack in the jungle it probably sounded like one also.

WOW! I’ll bet we won't get any of the weather channel goons standing out on the beach in front of a camera.

I like the part of the comedian Ron White’s hurricane sketch.

“It’s not *that* the wind is blowing, it’s *WHAT* the wind is blowing.” Then he goes on to explain it could be blowing a VW bus right into you. LOL!

So all you’d have to do is aim a jet just right?
