I love Hurricanes.

My ambition is to ride a mountain bike in one.Imagine how fast youd go it would be ace.Id still pedal as well cos Im dead hard like that.

Isnt it strange how these Hurricanes are suddenly attacking the Yanks.Could be God telling them off for waging war on the muslims.Then again it could be retribution for thier gas guzzling global warming type greed.

Who knows :?

Those are my thoughts on Hurricanes

Bloody scary stuff ! I couldn't understand how anyone could be afraid of the weather until I inadvertently drove through a storm that eventually turned into a tornado after it had moved through Denver. I've never been as scared in my life.  :shock:

My mate is over in Houston at the moment, visiting his family.  :|

I've got a mate who lives there....

I've always wondered why hurricanes are called female names,it seems to me to be a big indictment of the fair sex.

I think it goes alternately, male-female and through the alphabet. So the next hurricane, after Rita, should be a male name starting with S.

Hurricane Sonic! :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

There are pre-approved lists of names for tropical storms and hurricanes, generated by the National Hurricane Centre. At first the lists consisted of only female names. Since 1979 the lists alternate between male and female.

The lists contain names that begin from A to W, but exclude names that begin with a Q or U.

The next one is called Stan!

So we'll never have a hurrican Quincey, or a hurricane Unwin?

No, tragic isn't it!  :D

It is, it really is - but I suppose it is done because there is a lack of male and female names to use said letters, so perhaps it makes sense, rather than making names up.

Hurricane Quagmire... oh yeah.

I think there's 6 lists of names that rotate each year over every 6 year period (if that makes sense?!)

If there is a particularly devastating one - Katrina for example - the name is killed off from the list forever and replaced with a new one.

Hence there will never be another Katrina.

My dad told me that they name the hurricanes and tornado's after the person that spotted them first!Liar :D When you see all the nasty things that happen in america,makes you feel kind of glad that we live in britain really.Although I do remember there was a mini tornado in my town once,and A tree fell down on a rabbit hutch and the rabbit died :cry:

Where is Ralph, Sade?  He appears to be missing...

I think he's just been busy lately with work and stuff :D He's getting a new exhaust fitted on his beloved car later today which he is excited about.Boys and their toys!

The exhaust is fitted  :twisted:

So the yanks do have a sense of humour then? :roll:

I thought this was going to be about that cartoon:

"Our champion spirit is here to stay"
