Sorry to anyone that may not see this as just a plain joke to celebrate the "day of jokes." If you see, that was the first advisory issued to Epsilon with some changes (name, date, +10 wind speed, -3 barometric pressure.)

Seriously, I was going to make it worse. I was thinking like "TS ZETA FORMS, HURRICANE WARNINGS ISSUED FOR MIAMI-DADE COUNTY" or something like that. But I said to myself, lets take it easy and not give a heart attack to anyone!

I thought it was funny, Sandy. But to be quite honest, I was about to send an email to a couple of co-workers (we had been talking about the trough west of Africa) until I read the end of your first message. :D

If you do that, wait 10 days! I'm not home right now and the thought of my SO and animal "kids" going through that without me is scary. :P

I wasn't amused at first, but I'm relaxing more now. Any other year, I might have been more amused from the get-go!
