New Director of the National Hurricane Center

It occured to us early on, that our cat Lili has a unique gift! As the days became longer and hotter, Lili began to sit in the upstairs window and scan the sky. We thought that he was longing to go out and catch the beautiful birds that are here, or maybe explore the intercoastal. It wasn't until Bill Proenza stepped down from the Hurricane Center Director did we discover Lili's unique talent. Little did we know . . . he is a STORMCHASER and possibly next in line for Director. Here's how it works: First, he looks at the barometer that Carolyn and Jim gave us - checks out the sky -
















as the clouds build and the water in the barometer rises out of the tube - he gets a feeling, a sign, something primal happens. Then he runs and jumps up on the counter, up to the refrigerator and into his special storm-proof hiding place. If Lili is in his hiding place - a storm is coming our way. If he was to become the next Director of the National Hurricane Center - weather people all over the air-ways could correctly predict a storm. I bet Lili can sense a Tropical Depression off the coast of Africa. He is the best.















Having made this discovery about Lili's gift, I may be seeking a new vocational direction. Look out CNN!
