Join us for our 100th episode (!) as we journey to the lovely beaches of Hawaii... except they're not so lovely when being battered by 145-MPH winds. We're talking about the monetarily-costliest (and human-least-costliest) hurricane to strike Hawaii, 1992's Iniki. We'll be examining the failures - and difficulties - in tracking the storm, the weird mix of weather conditions that led to its formation, Greg's favorite global-weather pattern, Jurassic Park, and chickens! Lots of chickens.
Thanks for sticking with us for one hundred episodes! We wouldn't be doing this if you weren't listening, so our most heartfelt thanks and we've got plenty more disasters to talk about.
