What a Capricious Character!

Mother Nature has a reputation for capricious (see definition and hear pronunciation below) behavior!

Whether it’s violent winds, torrential rains or heavy snowfall, extreme weather can quickly devastate an area.

Fortunately, modern technology allows meteorologists to track these unpredictable weather events more easily than ever before.

Hurricanes, for example, are often predicted well in advance, giving people time to evacuate from areas affected by severe storms.

This way, you can sometimes stay one step ahead of Mother Nature!
