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've seen hurricanes hit the coast. They strip away the houses like kids blocks, up and over three field to land in splinters. Waves twenty feet tall that can crack brickwork; winds that can suck you up and toss you a mile before you have the chance to take a breath. I know you're powerful, 'ro, but that's something primal. You don't get in the way of that unless you're not expecting not to come out after.

There is another thing to consider. How many lives must be at stake before your own becomes forfeit? I will pray to the Goddess that the hurricanes that do form stay well away from land... it scares me to even think that they might not. For many reasons.
