Fact.
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

Besides, that's clearly a typhoon, not a hurricane. Totally different. :-o

Ba-dum-dum.
The drawback to marital longevity is your wife always knows when you're really interested in her and when you're just trying to bury it.

From Wikipedia:

QuoteTyphoon Ioke
On August 28, 2006, the United States Air Force evacuated all 188 residents as category 5 Super Typhoon Ioke headed toward Wake. By late on August 31, the southwestern eyewall of the storm passed over the island, with winds well over 165 mph[1] driving a storm surge and waves directly into the lagoon. [2] The U.S. Coast Guard flew over the island a few days later: "Roof tops were taken off and side of buildings were blown out. There was sand around the island and trees down, but in general the major infrastructure was still intact" said Lieutenant Adam Bentley of the U.S. Coast Guard.[3]
