Wildest Weather

Just in case you thought about moving to Orlando, like I did, you might want to read this first: "Visiting Disney World anytime soon? Have fun, but watch for storms moving in. The odds of having to duck away from a bolt of lightning in the land of Disney's Magic Kingdom, Orlando, Fla., are greater than anywhere else in America."

"That's what happens when hot air that rises during the summer months in the state's central region draws the wet air from both coasts; the resulting mix means a ton of late-day thunderstorms that spew out as many as 40,000 bolts of lightning. Overall, Florida has been home to over 1,500 lightning deaths and injuries since 1959, according to the National Weather Service." Tom Van Riper, Forbes.com, July 20, 2007.

Just to clarify one thing that the article fails to mention clearly, the 40,000 lightning bolts are PER DAY. Right now though we have had little rain. The storms tend to have about a run of 3-5 days. For a couple of days it is just cloudy, like right now, and then rain moves in light one day and steadily gets heavier until you have a couple of days with down right scary storms, I like these days, and then on the last couple of days it starts to rain less, until one day it's just cloudy again and then no clouds, just heat. Not that anyone really cares about the weather in Orlando, Florida.

I am now off to right a one page business plan proposal for a my Masters Program. In about 11 months you can call me Eric House, M.S. or E.B.M.S., any thoughts on which one is better? By the way E.B.M.S. stands for "Entertainment Business Masters of Science" vs. M.S. just standing for "Masters of Science".
