Notes: There have been several significant storms around the period for when Uranus was discovered. Solano's Hurricane of 1780 totally 2000 fatalities, Central Atlantic Hurricane of 1782 with over 3500 deaths, Hurricane of October 1781 contributed to the surrender of British forces in the American Revolutionary War, & The Great Hurricane of 1780 remains the deadliest Atlantic hurricane on record claiming about 27,000 lives. Just so I'm not biased pre-1780 catastrophic hurricanes happened in the 1502 Atlantic Hurricane & 1609 Sea Venture Hurricane. Post-1780 there is the 1900 Galveston Hurricane, 2005 Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Maria in 2017 & Hurricane Helene of 2024 For the reading, I took both Mars & Uranus squaring the Sun. Found this ridiculous car crash scene from Final Destination 2. This is a scene from the TV show Young Sheldon that deals with a Tornado incident. I also rememeber this particular song from the Sound of Music taking place during a lightning storm.
Ian: "what do you think these riddles mean as a whole? Explain this detailed summary of events."

Chatgpt o1: "These riddles depict a double dose of tumult and upheaval. In one segment, impulsive individuals unwittingly drive toward catastrophe, resulting in explosive wrecks and injuries for unsuspecting bystanders. The imagery of a sudden collision—sparked by reckless motion and random chance—highlights the unpredictability of new or hidden factors that can upend routines with tragic results. Some are left helpless as the chaos unfolds, underscoring how dramatic change can blindside those who assume safety amid the familiar. In the next portion, thunderous clouds churn from an enigmatic sky, bringing storms that flatten once-peaceful spots and terrify wide-eyed children trying to rest. The unyielding power of these howling winds and searing bolts can lay waste to gardens and scatter the fragile comforts of normal life. Although some watch calmly from behind protective walls, many are forced to flee or endure sleepless nights under the looming threat. Taken together, these riddles illustrate how sudden, far-reaching forces—whether from unforeseeable collisions or unstoppable tempests—can rewrite the landscape and rattle society’s sense of security."
