RIP Edward Lorenz

The father of chaos theory has passed away at the age of ninety.  Meteorology will never be the same.  His main contribution was to prove that small events (like a butterfly flapping its wings) can set off enormous events (like a tornado in Texas).

Personally, I don't need his theories to predict the weather.  I just take a look at my schedule at work.  If I'm off, it's going to rain.  If I have to work, it'll be sunny.....
