For centuries the earth has followed the same weather patterns over and over again. A storm that sprouts up during the October, November and December winter months, yet still not known to many, is called the "PineApple Express". Its' origin began long ago in the humid tropical Hawaiian region. The name derived from the islands best known edible tropical fruit, the luscious pineapple. This storm brings with it a jetstream of strong warm winds and moist air. The precipitation is unstoppable, traveling miles across vast ocean towards the populated Pacific Northwest region. Its' fury is like an accelerated locomotive with a purpose. Weather alerts saturate the airwaves with warnings of its' arrival. Yet very few residents heed the warning. When the pineapple express reaches landfall and collides with the Pacific cold front, an overpowering effect causes a drastic change in the temperature. The results of this collision has been known to deliver heavy downpours, massive floods, swollen rivers, mudslides, washouts and the melting of snow covered mountains. In many cases residents living in low line areas will evacuate due to water rising above sea level. Powerful winds and debri can turn a protective umbrella backwards in a snap and possibly cause citizens to go airborne. The pineapple express dominates with dangerous intent and we will never know the intended direction without weather alert technology. Although we cannot command or predict the weather when we arise each morning, our awareness of daily and future forecast is imminent.
