HURRICANE SEASON IS OVER IN A WEEK! I CANNOT DEAL WITH ONE MORE!! it's Thanksgiving for gawd's sake!!AGGGGHHHHHHH:eek:

Tropical Storm Forms Off Central America CoastFriday, November 18





MIAMI — tropical storm gamma — the 24th storm of the busiest hurricane season on record — formed on Friday off the coast of Central America, and forecasters said it could threaten Florida by the beginning of next week, perhaps as a hurricane.

Tropical storm warnings were issued for the coast of belizeand the Bay Islands of Honduras. Mexico issued a tropical storm watch for the eastern Yucatan Peninsula, which was hit hard in October by Hurricane Wilma. Six to 15 inches of rain were possible.

The long-term track from the hurricane center indicated that Gamma may take a path similar to Wilma's and head northeast toward the Florida Peninsula. Wilma sliced across the southern portion of the state Oct. 24, causing widespread power outages and more than 20 deaths.

At 4 p.m. EST, Gamma had winds of 40 mph and was about 40 miles north of Limon, Honduras, moving erratically toward the northwest at about 5 mph.

There have been so many storms this year that forecasters exhausted the alphabetical list of names and began naming storms after letters of the Greek alphabet.

Hurricane Gamma?

I knew that.............:-4

Geez, this is insane - here's hoping it just fades out instead of heading for the states.

With the way the weather's been this year, do you think hurricane season will really be over on November 30th? :-5



At least it looks like it'll be past the states by tuesday, and still a tropical storm

No way! Their calling for snow here on Thanksgiving!

I think this is the funniest thing. Rediculous funny. Absurd funny.

It's like mother nature just went to hell with herself this year, all over the place, not just Florida and not just hurricanes. A year for the record books for sure!

Let's not forget the tsunami in Indonesia, the earthquake in Pakistan, the hurricane (I think) in Japan. This year's been tough on ALL of us! It does tend to make ya wonder!
