Hurricanes are a huge part of living in the southeast. If you've ever experienced one, you know people who live here take them, and the weather programs that follow and warn people about them, very seriously. We as southerners, particularly Charlstonians, also like to have a good time. In no way are we advocating hurrican parties, or making light of one of Mother Nature's most destructive forces. We are, however, presenting you with an opportunity to be well informed, and well hydrated. 

We present to you, a drink recipe for your NOAA Atlantic hurrican season outlook conference party.

Screaming Purple Jesus
Ingredients [poisons]: 1x20 gallon trash can cleaned
two blocks of ice
13 cans tropical punch drink mix
8 half gallon Vodka
4 fifths Everclear
5-6 bags hard fruits (apples, cherries, pears, pineapple, etc).

Cut up fruit, put into trashcan and soak in the Everclear for 1-2 days (plenty of time as hurricane approaches) The apples will get brown.
Split fruit into half into a smaller containers.
Mix 7 cans tropical punch mix into trashcan with water (17 gals) and add the ice.
Add in 4 half gallon vodka and 1/2 the fruit (with 1/2 the Everclear it was soaked in).

Repeat when PJ is empty.
Makes 2x20 gallon trash cans of PJ.
Cut the recipe down for smaller groups.
Hunker down, say your hail Marys.
