What about hurricane obama;

It sucks, blows, is loud, takes all your stuff and puts it all on other people’s property, and in the end leaves you screwed and wondering what in the hell happened and feeling like it was your fault.

Can I buy brownie mix tax free for hurricane season?!?! ;-)

[txhurl]

After cancelling your hurricane insurance.

Their forecast is based on nothing more sophisticated than casting knuckle bones and a flat out guess.

Yeah, well just think of how fun it would be to sit in during the discussion meetings.

[NautiNurse]

FL has tax-free brownie mix. I’ll send some over.

[areukiddingme1]

hahahaha...right.

[NautiNurse]

:::blush:::

:o)

[Kackikat]

Amen, Ivan destroyed two lots I had bck then, by a road collapse further up the mountain, so much water and a clogged culvert, disasterous...oy vey! Let’s hope this is not another one of those years.

OTOH, maybe YOU get the storm!

[blam]

Hmmmmm.

No African-American names again?

[ThomasMore]

How come they don’t have Mohammad as a storm name?

[NautiNurse]

Hopefully we won’t need the names “Xavier”, “Yolanda” and “Zeppo”.

Back in 2005, X,Y and Z names were bypassed following Hurricane Wilma. Subsequent 2005 storm names were assigned from the Greek alphabet. Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon and Zeta were all named storms before the 2005 hurricane calamity finally ended.

In January!

Via our friends at Snopes:

In July 2003, Texas representative Sheila Jackson Lee (a member of the NAACP and the Congressional Black Caucus, and an ardent supporter of the civil rights leadership) criticized the weather establishment for its selection of names with which to christen hurricanes, stating that "All racial groups should be represented." Her comment was prompted by the 2003 list of hurricane names, which for the first time included French and Spanish appellations (derived from languages spoken in areas that border the Atlantic Ocean, where such storms occur), and she expressed the hope that in the future such lists "would try to be inclusive of African American names" as well.

The National Weather Service's National Hurricane Center publishes the yearly list of names to be used for identifying storms. The lists compiled for use through 2018 do not appear to include any distinctly African-American monikers.

How come they don’t have Mohammad as a storm name?

Name 'em all Mohammad - with every spelling variation you can concoct. That way, every radical Muslim group around the world will show up and kill the storm right after it gets started. Also has the effect of drowning a bunch of would-be terrorists.

[NautiNurse]

Good catch. Tropical Storm Zeta formed Dec. 30, 2005, and dissipated January 6, 2006. I was hibernating at the time, after a grueling storm season.

[shove_it]

Yup, those two years, 2004-05 were especially tough on Indian River and Brevard Counties. Katrina also hit us on her way to The Big Easy in 2005. It got real tiresome around here. I forgot about the Greek Alphabet storm names being used.

[Vinnie]

Uh-Oh. Worrisome.
Usually they are wrong. I’m a contrarian on their hurricane predictions.

[DanielRedfoot]

Here in Florida, we laugh at these idiots.

EVERY SINGLE YEAR, that say it will be a extreme hurricane season, and every year there is practically nothing.

And THESE are some of the “Scientists” that proclaim global warming is actually real

Elite liberals have the inside track at most colleges - and they're almost universally wrong. We're probably going to have a rough hurricane season... Just kidding... well, kidding some..
