of course, they don't talk about land-falling hurricanes, and they don't mention the amount of people who are going to be affected by this. and they don't mention when during the season all this storm of hell is going to occur. and honestly, WTF is up w/ the 14-23 named storms range??? are you ing serious? 14 is a lot different than 23...
i'd honestly like to know what kind of secret squirrel weather stuff they have down there to come up w/ these forecasts. or if it's just a bunch of random numbers.
in any case, hope nothing goes into the gulf. you know, what with the oil and all. |

| awesome, nothing like a bit of population control to help the world along. Africa gets drought, we often get floods when the rivers burst, and america gets hurricanes. Asia gets tsunamis and delhi belly and Australia gets PKC to spread around his own stuff. |

I know, but I told you, I'm not Renzo :p
Honestly, it's silly to think that natural disasters will just stop happening, it happens and we have to just adapt ourselves, buildings etc to do the best job they can. Sometimes people forget they live in the world, not the world living in them. |

Mainly location and the way they rotate. |
