With everyone on edge about a storm approaching in the gulf, I thought it important to point out that in malls throughout Seattle people are paying $2 to be whipped about in a wind tunnel at approximately 150 miles an hour to experience the awesomeness and wrath of a tropical cyclone. A hub for natural disasters- volcanoes, tsunamis, landslides, and earthquakes- the northwest apparently does not get its fill of hurricanes and Seattlites feel, well, left out. Boo.
