“Hurricane” Dean
Updated 8/23/07.
Former tropical depression, Dean has turned into a category 5 hurricane and is leaving a swath of destruction in it’s wake. Oh wait…doesn’t this sound a little like Supernatural’s season two?
Of course, any tropical storm named after our favorite character, Dean, would just have to become a powerfully dangerous hurricane. It's interesting to note that so far, Dean hasn't caused the kind of death and destruction that you would expect of such a powerful storm. Let's hope it stays that way and Dean avoids landfall in any high population area. If only there was a "Sam" out there helping to steer Dean on a less destructive path.
8/23/07 Update: "Dean will be remembered for being a very intense hurricane that could have done a lot more than it did". The NY Times is reporting that Dean caused far less damage than expected because it struck in areas with relatively low population densities and little infrastructure…Oh wow, maybe Sam was alongside Dean after all and we just couldn't see him because of Dean's "larger than life" intensity.
Let's hope that is it for the analogy between Dean and "Hurricane Dean". I certainly don't want our Dean to have the same kind of short lifespan…though Kripke will probably keep us hanging about that until the season 3 finale.
