It’s way too early to get excited, since nature moves in mysterious ways.

But I wanted to comment on:

Wilma

Cuz, well, it’s the last letter. Next storm will be Tropical Storm Alpha! Won’t be long and we can tell our kids about the “good old days” when several Cat IV storms a year in the gulf just didn’t happen.

Note: through the miracle of modern technology, this map / chart thingie will update itself automagically as new information becomes available and the good folks at the climate center update their predictions. So there.

Update on 10:18 – for any of you in or around Key West – tie a knot and hang on! Unless, you know, it turns more or less.

Final update: This will be the current tropical “item,” whatever that is. Today it’s tropical depression #6. Or is it #7?
