I did some consulting work at Homestead AFB, a year or so after it got destroyed by the hurricane. We had a briefing in the early morning (7 am or so) and the guy said to be back inside or off the facility as a thunderstorm would be hitting at 4:38 pm. (Or whatever - but down to the minute).

I said “are you sure it’s not 4:39” with a chuckle. He stared/scowled at me and said “4:38”.

I seem to recall that he was off by a minute or so when it did hit (and it hit hard!), but still wonder how he was able to call it that close from 10 hours earlier?
