Examples
Hurricane Lowell was remarkably well-behaved for a storm, managing to swirl around the Pacific without ruining anyone's vacation plans.
If Hurricane Lowell were a person at a party, it would be that guest who arrives uninvited, makes a lot of noise, and then quietly leaves before the cleanup begins.
Meteorologists watching Hurricane Lowell likely sipped their coffee with the detached calm of people who know they aren't the ones currently getting soaked.
