Gawain 0 #1 November 30, 2006 Zero. 0. Nada. Goose-egg. The big "oh". What do I mean? Why the number of hurricanes observed to hit the US this year. In fact, the only storms to make any news were three "measly" tropical systems of varying intensity. Apparently the last time this happened was 2001. Now, I'm not claiming that this is indicative of anything one way or the other, but I'm certain that it flies in the context of some of the alarmist styles of thinking that were being voiced in the wakes of Katrina, et al.So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

It would have worked, but hurricane season preceded the elections. What if the republicans still control congress? Are we gonna have a bad season next year?

SpeedRacer 1 #6 November 30, 2006 The Carribean used up all of its hurricane stock in 2005 and is running a hurricane deficit now, so it had to cut back on the release of hurricanes in 2006.

lawrocket 3 #7 November 30, 2006 QuoteIt would have worked, but hurricane season preceded the elections. What if the republicans still control congress? Are we gonna have a bad season next year? It was actually a plot. According to what I've heard, Karl Rove put together the secret task force to prevent any disasters in order to show that the status quo should be maintained. By failing to authorize hurricanes to occur, the Bush Administration was seeking to assure Republican victory. It's all a vast right-wing conspiracy. And it all started when some high-ranking government official (suspected to be Dick Cheney, aka, "Sleep Throat") left a Duke in the men's urinal. My wife is hotter than your wife.
