I have long been a fan of stories that go with art.

As a college student, for instance, I studied Viet Nam war history. At the end of the course, every student had to do a final project that represented their learning experience. One guy who was handy with a chainsaw cut a log into a bust statue of a soldier. The carving's head was oddly scortched black. When presenting, he explained that he had chosen a log split by a lightning bolt. The vets who taught the class were tearful over that one.

Sometimes the story changes everything.

A hurricane cue is a really cool idea, particularly for those who experienced the hurricane itself. It marks the event in a meaningful way for the builder and sets the cue off as a true limited item...without having to play the numbers game of stamping it and saying it is rare. I think the design you chose is very tasteful and the swirling chaos of the many wrap laminates speaks of the storm itself.
