The 7 Trials of Hurricane Season

Most of the people who work out in the storms have to brave the worst of conditions. You know what I mean, the people who work for TWC, CNN, etc. The people who report as the storm's moving inland. This seems like an interesting job for the people who are willing to put in the effort. But to put this simply:
It's not that easy.
Before being cleared to work in the storms, these people have to fight through the 7 trials of hurricane season, a series of highly difficult and worrisome scenarios that can seriously injure someone who isn't prepared, but properly prepares them for the effects of tropical cyclones. One recent employee of TWC, Ernesto, has been through these terrifying trials, and is here to tell us his story.
== Chapter 1 - The Big Day ==
Ernesto woke up early on May 31, the day before the hurricane season was supposed to begin. He knew that today was his big day. He had been through an exhausting flight from his home in New York to Georgia, where TWC's headquarters were located. He thought to himself "all my life's choices have led to this... this wasn't my first choice for a job, but it seemed nice enough". He put on his backpack, and headed out of his hotel room.
He called an uber when he arrived on ground level, and entered the uber when it arrived. The driver, a thin man named Miguel, who was wearing a short-sleeve shirt, looked back at Ernesto and said "where to?". Ernesto asked for directions to the Weather Channel's headquarters. Miguel replied "alright" and they left the hotel. On the way, Miguel asked "Hey Ernesto, what's your business at The Weather Channel? I'm curious." Ernesto paused a moment, before replying: "I'm going to a job interview to become an employee there". For a moment, Ernesto swore he saw Miguel's face go a little pale, before he replied: "Ok partner, I wish you luck. You'll need it. Oh, here we are now. See ya later."
As Miguel sped off in his car, Ernesto was puzzled about his reaction. "Is something wrong here? Did somebody get hurt recently?". Ernesto shrugged these thoughts off as another overreaction. The big building in front of him showed The Weather Channel logo he had seen so many times on his local news station. He walked through the doors of the building, and what he saw made him jump.

"Can I help you?" said a small, old lady. She had some odd features about her. Ernesto was shocked by her gravelly voice.
