Challenge #04645-L261: Tourist Take Warning

My fellow cognisants. There has been a great many interested in visiting that fearsome deathworld known as Earth, though more apt name for it is Terra, as in terrifying. Today, we will go through some of the weather phenomena found there, my own experience, and why it's absolutely essential to listen to your human guides when they tell you to get to shelter when it only looks like a few clouds are overhead.

You may be thinking of visiting Terra for purposes of epigenetic strengthening therapy. Always consult your physician and counsellors before undertaking such a journey, it is very important as epigenetics only works if you survive the trauma to pass on your genes. Fortunately, there is an industry surrounding the concept of welcoming visitors, which is relatively rare for Deathworlds.

This Tourism Industry is what has driven the existence of safe zones on the aptly named Terra.

Keep in mind, please, that these safe zones are so designated by Deathworlders familiar with the environments of their Deathworld. The Humans have interesting definitions of safe. To expand the definition of 'interesting', I must tell you that there are numerous occupations Humans deem safe, such as: feeding and petting wild animals, sheltering under cloth structures around an open fire, and immersing themselves in their large waters.
