Wanna see something scary??
Edited on Tue Sep-06-05 01:41 PM by SoCalDem
Hurricane history...

Incidentally the first hurricane i experienced was also the first year they actually started naming them women's names..(Florence 1953)..we got the peripheral winds..no landfall in panama.. It rains so much there, we only really knew about it when we heard it on the radio,,. we drove to a favorite beach and parked on a cliff and watched the HUGE waves..The convertible top leaked and we all got fairly drenched.. winds were only in the 70's where it "hit" us:)


this link has ALL tropical storms & hurricanes since they started keeping records

1. I blame the gays...
All of this is because there are gays somewhere doing something at some point.

2. And as you can see the image looks like a
rainbow flag waving in the wind in a very gay way.

I hope you have Paypal so you can start collecting tithes.

17. Bush was right,
they are coming from Liberia and Liberia is in Africa! We have to take shock and awe to Africa so we don't have to fight gays in the streets of New York and New Orleans, and those other New places. Were gonna catch us some and pull their toenails out and have our way with them until they confess who the ringleaders are! Bring em on! Ya Hoo! We'll wire up their genitals and stick flashlights up there asses and show those gays a thing or two about being real amerikans! Then we'll shove wadded up copies of the Constitution down their throats until they say "yo my daddy!"

32. You can clearly see the results of our superior local leadership
On the West Coast. As this map clearly shows, hurricanes come barreling straight for us, see that we had the foresight to put a really big mountain range in the way, and immediately turn NE to go after those slouches in Washington, DC.

:P

37. Blame it on Senegal - wait, that's where the slave trade came from.
All hurricanes have followed the same steering currents and trade winds to our fair shores as the slave ships from Gorey Island . See below.

27. Weird, none listed for 1992, year of Andrew
Did it technically 'miss' the Caribbean? Here's another chart showing only five Cat 3 or greater from 1991 to 2000

34. Hey, does anyone remember a graphic that made the
rounds awhile back...it showed the path of a hurricane (can't remember the name) in Florida and how the eye went thru all of the counties that voted for W? I wish I had that....I remember thinking that Mother Nature hates W. too.
