Hurricane Game

#1 Postby pojo » Tue May 06, 2003 3:27 pm

For those of you patiently waiting for the 25 days to pass til the official start of Cane season, I thought it might in your interest to refresh your survival skills.

This is a hurricane game devised by the American Red Cross. Believe me, its worth your time.

You will need to click on "Hurricanes, the game" to get it started.

My score was in the 900's before I quit. We really may know some of them and at the moment get some wrong. :)

That's true, eye of the storm... I ended up getting that one wrong, because they aren't considering Andrew a "category 5 hurricane" after it was 'upgraded' or didn't update the site.

Shannon this is a great game indeed to see how you are in the knowledge of hurricanes.

I played and had 915 points and I failed in the question about the last cat 5 cane to hit the US and we know it was Andrew but the game said Camille but in general I recommend all the play.
