Here’s some good advice on how to prepare yourself for the perfect storm we all know is coming. From Doug “Uncola” Lynn at theburningplatform.com:
Out here in the still-free internet, the ether lends itself to utilizing a wide array of digital media as the means to provide source attribution as well as to establish commonality and understanding amongst ourselves. This is, perhaps, the primary reason how internet blogs became the new town square in this millennium. In the old days it was courthouses and town halls, and pubs. Today, we meet in chatrooms, and on pages and threads.
It means if this blogger to were to write on how we’ve all become Sarah Conner in the Jeep riding into the storm at the end of the first Terminator film – a photo of that moment could be posted at the top of the article for emphasis. Or, better yet, a video of that scene could be hyper-linked into the text.
Truly, it is the best of times and the worst of times.
Undoubtedly, a storm is coming and even worse than that: A perfect storm. Of course that phrase is more than a mere idiom or a movie starring George Clooney and Mark Walberg. Merriam-Webster defines a “perfect storm” as:
“a critical or disastrous situation created by a powerful concurrence of factors”.
Or, stated with more clarity, the forthcoming waves of catastrophes will be the direct result of circumstances brought on by simultaneously devastating forces greater than any individual could fully comprehend.
Therefore, for purposes of easy illustration, let’s do consider the Perfect Storm of 1991. It was also called the Halloween Nor’easter of 1991, and the “No-Name Storm”; and was, in fact, the event which inspired the aforementioned Clooney-Walberg film .
