They don't name hurricanes after our kind

I want to be one too!
I think Paloma sounds the meanest. But Bertha sounds the wettest.

Hmmmm - I wonder if I can get odds on that?

You'd lose that bet.

Fay=dumped lotsa water here.
Hanna=annoyed us, then left.
Ike=ummm, actually ... he can go somewhere else as far as I'm concerned.

My list of tropical cyclones I have surfed in got another entry today. I don't believe Ike will be as kind as the other two I've taken on this year.

I'd agree with that. Hanna is skirting by us with some tropical gusts and outer rain bands. NC and SC are going to get a spanking.

Ike, that is another thing all together.
