Thankfully, Opal weakened significantly before making
landfall near Pensacola, Florida.
She still caused $3 billion dollars in damage and nine U.S. deaths (most from falling
trees).
Even "minimal" hurricanes can wreak incredible destruction and must be taken
seriously.
Thanks for surviving your "Cyberflight Into the Eye"! We hope you enjoyed the
trip--if
you did, please tell your friends. We hope you'll accept this memento of your flight, a
cyber-patch!!! Just point to the patch, "right-click" your mouse, save the .gif
file, and
display it proudly on your computer...you earned it!
Windy would like to thank the
"Hurricane Hunters" for allowing us to sit in on one of their missions. The
whole "Cyberflight" and more information on these brave men and women
can be viewed at http://www.hurricanehunters.com/welcome.htm . Please visit them!
