Hurricane Nate
You know it’s a busy hurricane season (and lets not forget - officially, it runs until November 30th) when they get down to my name in the list! That said the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicted an above normal Atlantic hurricane season. Anyway, I do think it’s kind of neat that the 14th named storm shares my moniker. I didn’t realize that list repeated every 6 years (with particularly devestating storms retired - sorry Katrina!)
Here’s an article from the Sun-Sentinel that mentions Nate, Google News’ take on it, and NOAA’s thoughts on where it might be headed. Silly I know, but it’s not often I run into people with my name let alone a hurricane! I just hope I, err, hurricane Nate, doesn’t cause much damage. Right now, it looks like it will just graze Bermuda.
I have to admit, I really like sites that provide syndication and I’ve been plesantly surprised by how many organzitions have started offering this service. While reading up on “my” hurricane, I couldn’t help but notice that NOAA offers feeds. What a great idea - that has to be very useful for people affected by these storms.
