How to Deal With a Hurricane

The key insight in the snip is to build tension in a story by introducing a sequence of escalating problems for the characters to solve. Starting with minor incidents like a malfunctioning GPS and gradually leading to bigger challenges like getting lost at sea during a hurricane. This approach keeps the audience engaged as the characters try to navigate through each problem until they face a situation where the usually confident and knowledgeable captain is left clueless, creating a dramatic climax.
