In these days of 24 hour news channels and information overload courtesy of the world wide web, it’s easy to assume the role of “know-it-all”. And as Gustav roars into the Gulf of Mexico, many of us inject the current common knowledge about hurricanes into our water cooler discussions. For example, we all know-

  • Katrina was the most damaging hurricane on record
  • Hurricanes lose energy over land, but pick up steam (almost literally) over hot water, and
  • Hurricanes make gas prices go up.

BUT- there are many things you DON’T know about hurricanes. For example, did you know that this Gustav is actually the fifth tropical cyclone to share that name? Look it up. 

Find out what else you don’t know about hurricanes – check out the quiz hosted by the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. You just might learn something.

Speaking of learning something- we occasionally post ticket selling tips on this blog, like last week’s post on event aggregator sites. We’re interested in your thoughts on these tips. Are they helpful? Do you have tips to share? Let us know.
