I enjoyed this episode. It features fascinating footage with the key characters replicating the force of a hurricane that seemed very realistic. It is interesting to watch how Sandy handles the awkward situation of finding out his water skiing idol (perhaps even crush) Linda is incapacitated. There is an air of kind innocence with children and some teenagers in these situations. Despite a rocky start of Porter trying to forcibly remove Linda from the beach, the Ricks family and Flipper do much to rescue Linda from her despair.
The hurricane's arrival harks back to the dramatic scenes that kick off the original Flipper movie and is a reminder that southern Florida is a risky place to live. The rescue scene seems very realistic and the need to warn visitors and locals of the perils of tropical storms and hurricanes is an integral part of Porter's job; a task he often trusts his boys to help him with.
