Scientists predict a busier-than-normal hurricane season in 2007.

A subtropical storm has already grown to large enough proportions to be named; hurricane season has not even officially started yet. No storms made landfall last year, but with an above-average prediction this year, we may not be so fortunate. The NOAA advises those that may be affected to update their preparedness plans - this is not us, but we should still be aware (particularly RedX participants).

I fail to see how trying to accurately quantify the risks and benefits of a hypothetical situation involving hurricanes and my ability to stop them qualifies me as insane. Prudent, perhaps... procrastinatory, certainly. But insane? Now you are just slinging mud.

Oh, I'm not saying this because I have any room to talk.

And it's not mud, it's fellow-feeling!

I will admit it was not entirely my idea - Kent and Wayne at Colorado State were quite interested to hear my ideas on the subject. I am only glad they are there and I am here, if only to preclude any more poking and electrodes.

I bet you they're still harassing you over email though, aren't they? From what you've said about the gentlemen, they don't seem like the type to let go easily.
