"My Hair Was Hitting Me," He Said

As I was leaving the mall after seeing a movie today, I noticed a new machine sitting along with the kiddie rides, photo booths and those cranes you use to try and pluck a stuffed toy. "HURRICANE-FORCE WINDS! 78 MPH!" the sides of the booth screamed. For just two dollars, you can step inside and supposedly feel what it's like to be in the middle of a category 1 hurricane.

Somehow, it doesn't seem that interesting. Watching the video below, it starts at zero, goes up to 78 and then drops again. It's also not very realistic. Most hurricanes don't last about a minute, with winds at hurricane force for a grand total of 12 seconds...



This is entertainment? Worth the two bucks?
