Your 2009 hurricane forecast

[Sam Mills 51]

I dunno, after Wilma in 2005, I'm not exactly looking forward to the arrival of Fred this year.

Yeah, but he can stop hurricanes with his feet.

And it's funny that you're posting on this thread with an avatar of the Carolina Hurricanes. I like it but just sayin' ...

Well, they're down 0-2 to the Pens, so I'm guessing the forecast is gloomy.

My name starts with a B and it never comes up. But Ida and Mindy and Henri, THEY get hurricanes.

Outing alert: Meat is his own best friend. :)

Barf! ;D

I'm surprised Claudette didn't get retired. The last one pimp-slapped the Texas coast pretty good.

Grace ... now there's an old-school badass hurricane name.

I put a lot of trust in these predictions, just like I did a few years ago when my stockbroker told me I needed to pick some AIG at $50 a share.

Hurricane experts in Colorado? Sounds like an oxymoron to me.
