SLSL "The Small Rain" -- The Hurricane

[Otto]

"The whole business had clearly been a foulup on the part of the Weather
Bureau: Wednesday afternoon, when the inhabitants of the town had started to
evacuate, the bureau had issued a statement that the hurricane would not
arrive till Thursday. It urged them not to crowd the roads. There was plenty
of time." (SL 37.3-9)

"Roberts first became known for predicting hurricane behavior in 1957 when
he forecast that Hurricane Audrey would hit southwest Louisiana six or seven
hours earlier than other experts believed. More than 400 people lost their
lives in the storm."
