Hurricane Season looms yet again...

[hippie_chick]

We here in Florida are getting geared up for Hurricane Season 2006. Heard the predictions yesterday and we were informed that:

17 named storms are predicted for 2006.
9 of the 17 could become hurricanes.
5 of the 9 could become Cat 3 or higher.

Katrina, Dennis, Stan, Rita and Wilma join the ranks of the retired hurricane names. That's a record folks, since on the average, one, maybe two storm names a season are retired!

The name list for 2006:
* Alberto
* Beryl
* Chris
* Debby
* Ernesto
* Florence
* Gordon
* Helene
* Isaac
* Joyce
* Kirk
* Leslie
* Michael
* Nadine
* Oscar
* Patty
* Rafael
* Sandy
* Tony
* Valerie
* William

My cousin Tony will be thrilled his name's in the list. Yeap.

Hurricane season officially starts June 1 and lasts thru November 30.

And of course these are predictions, and nobody really knows what can happen or what these storms can do, so...

Oh boy, can't wait! *note the sarcasm*

My sister's name is Debby and her youngest is Michael.

I predict that those two storms will be the worst storms to hit the US ever.
