    To be fair, Gary's description of HURCON was so bad that as someone who has spent his whole life in hurricane areas, I didn't believe him either, and had to look at the article. He had the scale backwards - HURCON isn't related at all to the category 1-5 of the Saffir-Simpson scale, but is a countdown of how long you have until the hurricane hits It's a military term (it's not used by the general public), very much like DEFCON, and like DEFCON the lower the number, the more imminent the threat. HURCON 5 is "you have 3 days until the storm" and HURCON 1 is "The storm is currently on top of you". I think he managed not to give a single item from the actual article other than "Hurricane Condition"

I've never seen a man dismantled so effortlessly by *anybody's* favourite Gary Brannan, let alone *everybody's* favourite Gary Brannan. Speaking of which, kudos to Chris in the second half for nailing the precise sort of "something you may not have known" that is guaranteed to make you want to pick him, even if it ultimately failed versus Matt's truly magnificent tale.
    Also, Scandinavia is becoming your new France, as regards wheel-spinning and the like. As a Scot and thus historic best frenemy of both areas, I very much approve.

If Tom guesses correctly he gets a point. Otherwise, everyone else gets a point. If Tom guesses incorrectly, the person he thought was telling the truth gets a bonus point.

    Small note on HURCON, it's exactly the same as DEFCON in that it's an American military alert state but for hurricanes instead of war. But, the numbers don't indicate danger or severity, they indicate how imminent it is. DEFCON 1 means 'nuclear war is imminent or has already started' and similarly, HURCON 1 means 'hurricane is about to hit or is currently on top of you'. The general term for these are 'LERTCON' and there are a whole bunch. FPCON for terrorist attacks, INFOCON for cyber attacks, COGCON for relocating government officials in cases of crisis, etc.
    It's fair to misunderstand, because most classifications for disasters count up, but all LERTCON's are countdowns; they show how close the disaster is and what preparations are currently necessary.

    In fairness to Tom, I am from the American eastern seaboard in a very hurricane prone area, and I took college meteorology courses as an aeronautical science major. I have never heard of "HURCON" or "Hurricane Condition." Apparently (looking up the wikipedia article) it is used specifically by the military. I would have called bullshit as well.
