hurricane Iniki

Was watching storm stories & did not realize that Iniki tore up the set of Jurasic park during filming. Also Steven Spielberg took shots of the wave action that was used during the movie. The crew said it was the worst thing they ever went through. Also considering a hurricane was hitting during the movie in Costa rica would have been more realistic if they had just made in in Kawaii & had the real footage. Next up on storm stories was the hurricane Mitch story. I know to this day that NHC director Jerry Jerrell still has nightmares about Mitch. Those poor people on that ship sailed right into the eye wall & nothing was ever found. In the book "the ship & the storm" (my all time favorite hurricane book BTW) the author Jim Carrier said that the relatives of the people on board all had nightmares of thier loved ones drowning several of which did not even know about Mitch at the time, only to find out later that they died in a hurricane. I have the interview with Jim Carrier on the weatheraudio page http://www.weatheraudio.net down towards the bottom as it was 5 years ago. I know some of you complain about storm stories but they can be educational & entertaining.
