Waiting for Wilma to come along... then it's Alpha!
Looks like we will get the Greek letters this year.
That is an odd hurricane. How often do hurricanes form in that part of the ocean?
Wow, I moved from New Orleans to Spain and cannot escape the mighty hurricane. I think I'll blame............Bush!
From what I hear, this is the first time.
The one that scares me is Hurricane Omega...
Although nothing is as scary as the Hellish Rove and his unwitting dupe...
>>>Looks like we will get the Greek letters this year.
Only if we get a 'Wilma' first...
Remember the Spanish Armada returning from England were destroyed by what was thought to have been a hurricane.
Me, too. I have a SIL named Wilma! :-)
Interesting... I was taught that it was a "storm from hell", at least that's what my high school history teacher said. Of course, way back then, in Spain, I never thought of a hurricane. To my shame, after 21 years in South Carolina, having lived through Hugo, I never thought the "storm from hell" could have been a hurricane. I reckon we'll never know, but it makes a lot of sense.
I vote for Vince, then Vance and then The Valiants
