“Margaret's favorite kind of news story is - would anyone believe this? - the weather. The dull, the prosaic, the default I-have-nothing-else-to-talk-about-so-let's-talk-about-the-weather topic is, to Margaret's mind, a stunning daily phenomenon, overlooked, and taken for granted. Margaret loves it all: hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, lightning storms, and - the ultimate bonanza - an earthquake followed by a tsunami. This may seem sadistic, but even as she mourns any loss of life, she is intrigued by the science of it. Weather is a physical manifestation of the earth's power. Margaret also likes that weather defies prediction. Meteorologists can get close, but there are no guarantees. The world, Margaret thinks, is full of surprises.” — Elin Hilderbrand
