The hurricane board game from the 1960s

 Even though I saw this story from Eric Berger on Ars Technica:

it is hurricane season with Puerto Rico encountering Hurricane Fiona.

I remember that my childhood friend, Perry (last blog mention:

had some relative in Florida who gave him a board game, probably this one:

As I recall the storms had rings that were put on to indicate their size (category) depending on the spinner or dice throw, also the direction/speed depended on chance.  Supposedly the storms could go up to New England.  (update 9/24/2022: the remnants of Hurricane Fiona actually caused a lot of problems in Canada !).

I think I only played the game once or so, that's how games are for me, sometimes they are fun but usually it's: who cares ?  I can't remember how a winner was determined - it looks like there were ships ?  Maybe there wasn't a winner as such (a realistic game) ?  It was a long time ago, don't remember.
