I can tell that I made the list just once - me thinks that's a good thing! Some real "gems" in there, however - but good for a laugh in retrospect, at least some of them. Others, of course, are indefensible.

And the following remark:
"so how sad is it that I'm sitting in an airport using a wireless pda to read updates on this storm? "

I resemble that remark!

Last year, when they sent the first recon flights out to Hurricane Isabel, I had my cell phone connected to the NHC's wireless website during class (yes, we weren't learning much synoptic meteorology that do, so it wasn't a big deal) refreshing the recon reports. When they came back saying cat 5 still, everyone wanted to know! So, how sad is that? haha.
