Plot
Part 1
The show begins at the Ice Cream Shop with Brain showing his weather globe to Ladonna. They, along with Arthur Read, Buster Baxter, and Muffy Crosswire joining in the discussion about hurricanes and preparations.
Later on, Brain and his father are shown boarding up the Ice Cream Shop. They notice how Brain left his weather globe inside the shop, but he replies that he will pick it up tomorrow. During the hurricane, Brain is seen recording Sadie's winds.
Meanwhile, the Crosswires are having a hurricane party. The electricity goes out, but Bailey turns it back on with a generator.
At the Compsons' house, Rufus Compson receives a call for him to report to duty in the middle of a game of Charades. As a member of the Army Corps of Engineers, he is needed to help reinforce the overflowing Katzenellenbogen River. This means that he might miss Ladonna's birthday party.
The morning after the storm, Muffy is upset to find out that the electricity is down. As she walks down the stairs, she is surprised to discover that the first floor of her house is flooded. Arthur's house, on the other hand, is dry but he is deeply distraught upon watching the news about abandoned pets. As for Ladonna, she decides that she might skip her birthday if her father does not come, which Bud finds surprising and "against the laws of Nature." The Ice Cream Shop was damaged by a fallen tree, which Brain finds shocking due to the fact that the other shops on their street were still intact. This affects him greatly: he is scared of the wind and forgets his textbooks at home.
