Some go to Mexico for a quickie divorse. Others go for a name change. Hurricane Ernesto went to Mexico. Emerged in the Pacific. And is now called Tropical Storm Hector. Well, at least he did not get a sex change.

Hey! If Bri gets to have a hurricane, I want one too. All we have here is the boring old monsoon. Well, and the occasional forest fire.

I sent a virus to NOAA. You should see changes in your weather maps in a couple of days.

Meanwhile, I consulted some people in Argentina. They said they would chase butterflies. But admitted flapping butteryfly wings probably only create tornados in Alabama; and not hurricanes in your venue.

I happen to know for a fact that tw raises large butterflies and moths and lets them lose at random intervals. No doubt Homeland Security will be closing in on him soon.

Mutant butterflies?!?!

Quote:
Genetic mutations have been found in three generations of butterflies from near Japan's crippled Fukushima nuclear plant, scientists said Tuesday, raising fears radiation could affect other species.

Don't feel too left out. Hector will not make LA. Gordon decided to be well north of Bermuda before taking on a name. Even Kai-Tak decided to veer away from Tiawan and the Philippines to wander aimlessly in the South China sea.

A worldwide shortage of hurricanes exists. You were not singled out. Weather tourism is down everywhere. We just can't get a hurricane to visit anyone anymore.

Apparently Argentina needs more butterflies.

We cannot get a hurricane no matter how hard we ask. Even Hurricane Gordon is heading to Spain or France.

What do we have to do? Bring back George Jr?

Unless perhaps any collection of Republicans would do.

Issac's track said it would never be anything serious. Since the mountains of Cuba and Haiti would be particually destructive. But now the good new. Issac is targeting the heavy drought regions of the Misissippi River. Just in time to dead corn from Arkansas to Illinios wet.
