Hurricane Irony

Due to Hurricane Rita, our writer G-Dawg has evacuated to the east coast of Florida. In any other year, one might suppose G-Dawg to be absolutely insane. Actually, one would be wrong. Florida's east coast is usually spared landfall from the storms, with none hitting north of about Port St. Lucie between 1899-1999.

NOAA keeps a nice Archive of Past Hurricane Seasons, if you are interested in details.

Still, evacuating to Florida? It just sounds silly. Hopefully G-Dawg will be back to Texas soon - Rita is now a Depression and is just about petered out and it never got close to Brownsville.

Houston residents are being told not to come back just yet, but The Brownsville Herald is more concerned with the anti-war protestors who peacefully disturb the peace, for peace. Barely a mention of the storm.

I grew-up in Central Florida. We didn't worry about hurricanes...much. Of course, if we were living there now, things would be very different.

Well thanks for thinking of me Wulf. We were perfectly safe up near Jacksonville, and would've been if we stayed in Brownsville. Looks like that right turn helped us.
