Weather article

http://www.cnn.com/2006/WEATHER/09/10/bermuda.tropical.ap/index.html

-I liked the last sentence in the first paragraph, I think it gave me a clear picture of how people were readying themselves for the approaching hurricane.
-One thing that I didn't like was the explanation of the sign on a flower shop's window. It read "We've gone away to chase away Florence. Back Tuesday." It confused me a little bit. There is no doubt that is what the sign said, but I had to read it about six times to understand what was meant by it. I think they could have used a better example, or something that is clearer.
-I liked the depth which they described the storm with. It said the size, its speed distance away from land and other things of importance that helped me understand the size and intensity of the storm.
-Another thing I liked about the article was the writer obtaining a quote from an educated source on how the storm could affect the united states. "Those waves will affect a good portion of the U.S. East Coast from basically Florida all the way up to the Cape Cod area" starting Sunday through the early part of next week, hurricane specialist Stacy Stewart said. It answered the questions I had about what the storm's impact would be on us. The quote helped answer questions that I believe most people had.
-In the second last paragraph I liked the brief history of hurricanes this season and what Ernesto had done to the US and how many fatalaties there were. It helps give a sesne of the severity of a hurricane, regardless of how "weak" the storm may be.
