The irony is not lost on me.

Sort of movie-related, but not really.

The family has just returned from a week-long vacation in Orlando where we experienced up close and personal the full power of Hurricane Jeanne. Sunday we were trapped like mice in our hotel room for the entire day as the storm raged at the windows (a pretty spectacular matinee, I must say.)

The next morning, freed of the storm, we spent our first full day at Universal Studios theme park. The first ride of the day - truth be told, closest to the front gate - was the Twister ride. The ride was modelled after the movie and simulated the effects of a tornado, including heavy rain and extreme wind gusts.

And of course, there was a fair line-up.
