Here comes Hurricane P.

[skids]

After Ophelia (hopefuly) merely massages the SE coast the next storm will most likely be called Phillipe.

But most people don't know that. They do know it will start with P.

There's a few day window here to start yelling and screaming about "Hurricane Pam" -- the name of the fake hurricane that FEMA used to practice a drill for New Orleans.

Who knows, maybe they will google it.

1. But I thought Hurricane FEMA already destroyed New Orleans?

[Carolab]

2. Tin foil hat thought: think these exercises are practice for LIHOP?

You know, so they can forecast what will happen, and what should be done, and then NOT do what they should do in a way that's believeable?

3. I had a dream last night that the next Hurricane to hit NO again hard

would be starting with an "S".....

5. Hurricane Shitsoup? (sorry, thinking off top of my head) n/t

10. Hurricane Shitsoup hit already - his real name is George....

6. Well, I suppose we should be thankful

[AusTexDem]

7. in the Fox Docudrama "Oil Storm" it was Julia. wasn't it?

[VolcanoJen]

9. I think so... and it was a Category 6.

I'm not sure there's such a thing as a Category 6, since Katrina was only a Category 5 (and 4 at landfall?), I guess we have nothing to worry about.

:sarcasm:

That was a good movie, actually. Gripping. Freaked me out.
