You've been looking forward to this all year haven't you Brent?! ;)

[Brent88]

You've been looking forward to this all year haven't you Brent?! ;)

Oh Yes. :p

A lot of waiting though... usually don't see much activity until August.

[Pus$y Galore]

Actually, a little trivia here - today's the 20th anniversary of a wicked tornado that ripped through central Ontario in 1985 killing 11 people and causing $150 million in damages. I was living in Toronto when it happened, but now am living closer to the area that was affected. Lots of roadside memorials have been put out. It looked like a war zone - surprising really that only 11 people were killed.

[Rhiannon]

some of those are really funny. North Dakota.

Oh Yes. :p

Yeah, I remember Hurricane Andrew didn't hit until late August and last year, Charley came through here on Aug.13th. One of the good things about hurricane season, believe it or not, is it rains alot more, and I'm not talking about when a hurricane goes through. I'm talking about the almost daily afternoon storms. It's been raining on & off since yesterday here, and we certainly need it!!

BTW, I love the "Welcome to Florida" sign on the cartoons!! Kind of makes me wish the tourism board would consider that design!!

[Courtnee]

Now some funnies. :lol:


teehee :p

The peak isn't til Mid-September. Frances, Ivan, and Jeanne all hit within 3 weeks in September. Charley was actually the strongest hurricane to hit the U.S. that early.

June and July activity is unusual, but not unheard of. Alex didn't form til August 1st last year.

This sucks, they never ever use my name.

[Courtnee]

This sucks, they never ever use my name.

they never use Ashlee etheir

[Brent88]

This sucks, they never ever use my name.

What is your name? The list is different every year.

[*MIBabe03*]

What is your name? The list is different every year.
Laura.

[Max Whittaker]

They'll get to Laura and Ashlee eventually. Remeber, they've only named hurricanes for about fifty years. You just need to give them time. :)


Everyone stay safe. :wave:

[Hollow]

This sucks, they never ever use my name.
mine was used once but it wasn't retired. there was a typhoon sarah that killed 840 people in north korea and another one of the same name that wiped out 95% of everything on wake island. ha ha ha. it makes me proud of my name.

The raw power of your name will haunt millions of people. Use that power against your enemies! The world will bow down to you!

[Pus$y Galore]

I don't think I'd want my name used for a hurricane!! :lol:


I don't think it's been used, although there is a close "Italian" version on the list Brent provided. Guess that's as close as it'll get so I'm safe!!

[phoebe7165]

I don't think I'd want my name used for a hurricane!! :lol:

Actually, my real name is Andrea and I think the "A" storm for either next year or the year after is Andrea!!

[vienna waits]

NAAAAAAATE. he's so famous.

[Brent88]

Actually, my real name is Andrea and I think the "A" storm for either next year or the year after is Andrea!!

2007 Andrea is on the list. Replaced Allison, the only tropical storm name EVER retired(massive flooding in Southeast Texas in June 2001).

[Stormtracker TF]

Looks like we're in for another doozy this year.

[dandelion wine]

:nod: Yeah, when Allison hit us in Houston it was pretty devastating. I won't ever forget that.
