Ah, yeah! The first big hurricane of the season. All eyes switch to the Weather Channel.
Or maybe this is just my own personal, little weather perversion. No. No. I know other people have this morbid fascination. We talk Cat 3, tropical depression, convection, storm path. We watch weather.com for updates. Is the rise in frequency of hurricanes a product of global warming, or merely part of a long-term weather cycle that is in no way influenced by greenhouse gases and human activity? Discuss amongst yourselves.
But here's one thing I question. Why on earth would you name a hurricane "Bertha"? That's just asking for trouble. Like naming your son Damien (can you really act surprised when he act like demon spawn?) or naming your daughter Candy (unless of course you think making a living on a pole is a good career path). What's the first thing that you think of when you hear "Bertha"? That's right. Big. But thankfully, this list has been scrubbed so much lately, there aren't too many scary names left on the Atlantic list. I'm looking forward to named storm Nana. I think Tropical Depression Nana's going to bring me milk and cookies.
