Tropical storm Ken

First of all, let me start off by saying on behalf of all the members from Batt 3, welcome to brothers Folsom and Holm. Capt Folsom has been promoted to the position of Battalion Chief and FF Holm to Lieutenant.
Most , if not all, of the members on group 3 have been speculating about the changes BC Folsom might make once he becomes the "Boss" on our awesome Battalion and I came up with the following analogy:
The weather channel has just determined that Tropical storm Ken is about 200 miles off the east coast and the projected path covers most of it. As the storm moves closer it intensifies and is a little more predictable. At 50 miles out it becomes a category 3 hurricane and gaining momentum. The place of landfall has been narrowed down to about 100 miles. Now a category 4 storm, it is evident that there will be some damage done, but the extent is still unknown. Which brings us to real time. The storm has landed and moved further inland. As a result from the fury of the storm, an offshoot windshere named Jonathan was spotted moving due north towards Penacook. The Jonathan storm has given the impression of doing no damage and simply dying in place. FEMA has been dispatched to offer some relief to those affected by the storm. As a preemptive safety measure, all Concord fire stations east of the Merrimack River have blown the bridges, battoned down the hatches, and are preparing for any secondary storms that might occur. Be sure to tune in June 9th for a FEMA response and assessment of the amount of damage left in the wake of this unprecidented storm.
