3. Did I get this right? We are supposed to have about 17 named
storms this year - and 9 hurricanes - maybe 4 big ones?

And it looks like the Atlantic Coast is more in the bullseye than the Gulf coast?

Boy, we have had no storms at all here in Kansas City this spring. Very quiet - not enough rain - and really too warm for this early in the year.

5. So Are You Prepared?
Do you have a boat and lots of supplies? A generator? A tent? And gallons and gallons of water?

19. And,
I'll be unable to generate anything. On a happier note, I'll be able to wrap stuff in plastic and seal it with duct tape. That counts for something!

15. Maybe I should get one of those weather radios? Or do you
think merely looking out the window is sufficient?

20. Well, shark attacks were all the rage last year...
so it came as no surprise when Wilma tossed a 10-foot tiger shark through my sliding glass door. The shark then proceeded to flip and flop toward the sofa I was sitting on in a desperate attempt to eat me before it died of asphyxiation. It was a hell of a thing.

22. Ahem.... I was joking. A shark did not fly through my door...
five of them did. And they fought in a battle royale on my kitchen floor over who got the privilege of eating me. Luckily for me, they killed each other off.
