Prudential Tower being evacuated

The Prudential Center Tower at 800 Boylston Street is being evacuated due to a water leak, which has knocked out elevator service to the building.

A second alarm has been struck to bring in extra manpower to assist with the evacuation. Belvedere Street has been shut down, and several streets in the area are congested with equipment and evacuees.

Simple

Crist is governor of Florida. Florida is a Gulf Coast state. The Gulf Stream is a powerful ocean current. Ocean currents create pressure. "Pressure" was a Billy Joel hit. Billy Joel is from Long Island. Huey Long was governor of Louisiana (which is also a Gulf Coast state). And "Huey" is a well-known nickname for a type of helicopter.

I thought everyone knew this.

Nopee

Nope. I just don't like to use cuss words.

I did misspell "helicopters", though. Shamed.

"helicopsters"?

Conjures a mental image of some dickhead with a soul patch and trendy little glasses flying around in a chopper.

That's about what I was thinking

Or else a force of green alienny looking things zooming around with propellers on their backs.

The globe says it took 40

The globe says it took 40 minutes for people to get out, is that typical? That seems unsafe.
