At 10:15 a.m. on Tuesday, Hurricane Jack wreaked havoc on his bedroom at 533 N. Piedmont Street, defiling a changing pad, his dresser, the wall, the floor, and his mother's shirt. The damage from the storm will require a massive clean-up effort, which is expected to take at least 30 minutes."I didn't realize a newborn could make such a mess," said Patty Babb, age 29. "Every time I tried to change him, he would relieve himself before I could completely strap on a new diaper." (The photo above captures only a fraction of the destruction left in the wake of Hurricane Jack.)
As of 10:20 a.m., the category 5 weather system had been downgraded to a tropical storm. After making landfall, Hurricane Jack traveled 20 feet west of his bedroom to his parents' bed, where he is now sucking on a pacifier.
"Hurricane Jack could strike again at any moment," said Babb as the distinct rumblings of yet another storm sounded nearby. "You try to stay prepared, but, sometimes, these storms get the better of you."
