Why is ignorance of significant meteorological events worn like a badge of honor around here? For a place packed full of self professed economic experts that have a hole worn in their F5 key from drudge, I find it rather odd. You can see a few hints of it in this thread, but a lot of posters on this site seem to down play any type of significant weather as if it has no impact on anything. I've yet to figure out why. |

Big fucking deal. |

Worked up? No. However, even "minor" severe weather can have far reaching economic impact on prices of things like food and fuel, insurance premiums, and infrastructure maintenance. Maybe I just think about that sort of thing because I'm a weather geek. |

Cue about a dozen of the panicked "Oh Teh Noes!!!" animated smilies. (why don't we have the extended smilies options on this board? VB users have all the good stuff) |

I thought it was Katrina Nah, Katrina was a hurricane, Sandy was a "super storm", i.e., not even a Cat 1 but have to make up the "super storm" name to make it seem evil so 0 can come to the "rescue". |

It was 0s Katrina so he could be seen as a hero and handling a storm better than the bullshit they laid on GWB. |

Quoted: no we're a full month into hurricane season and this is the first named storm. It's a late start. Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: You are looking at a late start to hurricane season. Yep. I thought 'canes were more common in the fall. Would this not be an early start? The average first named storm typically arrives around July 9, however this has occurred as early as April and as late as middle August. The average first hurricane forms in early August, however we've seen the season's first hurricane form as early as the first week in June and as late as early September.
