The Sharkophile newsroom survived Hurricane Irma

Apologies to those of you who missing out on your regular sharks news fix. The Sharkophile newsroom has been a bit chaotic over the last two weeks because of Hurricane Irma.

Like the sharks we know and love we temporarily relocated.

Sharks have a system of sense organs along their lateral lines that detect movement, vibration and changes in barometric pressure such as when a hurricane approaches. The sharks can then alter their path away from the storm or temporarily dive to deeper waters that won’t feel the effects.

When the storm passes by, the sharks return to their normal routines.

Now we get to do the same.

Thanks everyone for your concerns,
-JSB
