Tropical storm Clovis is forecast to strike Madagascar as a tropical cyclone at about 12:00 GMT on 2 January. Data supplied by the US Navy and Air Force Joint Typhoon Warning Center suggest that the point of landfall will be near 19.3 S, 49.6 E. Clovis is expected to bring 1-minute maximum sustained winds to the region of around 166 km/h (103 mph). Wind gusts in the area may be considerably higher.

Earlier Cyclone Bondo, now Clovis? Well, it is the Southern Indian Ocean...

Wasn't Clovis one of the Ledbetter boys?

At first glance I thought they were referring to our powerful high school football teams here in Clovis, Ca.

LOL! I was thinking, The Mighty, Clovis, NM WildCats. The team that spawned Philadelphia Eagles rookie, Hank Baskett.

As I'm sure you know, we played a "Clovis bowl" some years back where our Clovis Cougars played your Wildcats and it was just great! I THINK we played a 2 game "home and home" with you guys. I know you won the first game big and I'm not sure about the 2nd? but the Clovis v Clovis aspect was classic. We should do it again. Our Clovis East just went to Midland and played Midland Lee last year in a double overtime thriller (win).

This is the first time in my memory that the major media, along with the weather reporting sources have focused on Pacific tropical storms; the only thing I can think that would cause this is a general embarrassment for not having any disasters to report on the Atlantic disturbances.

Got to keep the Global disaster crisis fired up, I guess.

Did you see Hank's run yesterday?

[F.J. Mitchell]

I didn't hear about the Clovis Bowl, but I'll bet it was a classic. I moved to NC about twenty years ago, but still have family in Melrose, about twenty miles west of Clovis.

IMO the Clovis Bowl should be a two out of three series.

If I am alive and they do it again, I will be there.

All I can say is: "Go Clovis!"

I would expect Clovis to be sharp, wherever it's pointed.

(If you laughed at that, you're an anthropology or archaeology geek, and it's time to own up to it.)

[F.J. Mitchell]

I am sorry to say,I Didn't see Hank's run, or the game either. I will however make sure I see the rest of the Eagles games in the playoffs and the Super Bowl.
