Day 317:
Wow Conor... We're all on red alert here, Son. The coming of what could be the most epic storm in the history of the civilized world is on the horizon and all I can think about is what needs to be done in order to make it through the ordeal. We're stocking up on everything we can, Boy'O. Food for you, water, batteries, gasoline... I rented a generator even! A nominal price to pay for an insurance policy to be sure we keep power in our home.
The storm that approaches is being talked about amongst citizens and scientists alike, Son. Three massive pressure systems converging at the same time creating a tempest of biblical proportions. So impressive in fact, that meteorologists are claiming to have absolutely no data to support what could happen when these systems come together all at thrice... Predicting anything from high winds to storm surge to flooding to torrential rain and heavy snow... Quite literally, the Perfect Storm.
Storms of this magnitude have undoubtedly existed throughout the history of our tiny planet, however never has one so massive, so powerful, and so dangerous has a storm of this kind impacted 10's of millions of people as this one will. And with that, there will be lives lost and billions of dollars of damage. Though we are young, strong, smart, and prepared, Son. And I promise you, I'll keep you safe. Mommy too...
So tonight, we await the coming of the perfect storm... Still a few days away, but coming hard; it's impact inevitable. Though be not afraid Lion Heart. Storms come and go all the time, some worse than others. But surviving the storm is what builds character, strength, and the knowing to do it again and again. No matter what's thrown your way.
I love you, Conor.
-Dad
