Re: Pre-Season Warmup

I was reading the tropical discussion this morning that commented on the AFrican dust cloud prohibiting some moisture in the Caribbean this morning. Also looking at the list of names and noting the similarities to popular forecasters both at the National Level and the local level. My eyes beadily turn to the name GERT and I shudder thinking this is the name of a CAT 5 hurricane. Blunt, short and ferocious. Likely to stare you down over your box of twinkies and and hot soda pop. (disClaimer: I am not even a good amateur at forecasting. So I prefer to look at the names and decide how threatening the names sound.) Charley, Frances, Jean and IVAN, were all dignified sounding names and they did a number on Florida. Good luck to anyone who gets a visit from GERT.
