Hurricanes ad Nauseum
I’m sure no one needs a reminder that it’s hurricane season, but I’ll post this reminder anyways.

And NPR: Felix Slams Ashore As Category 5 Storm
Hurricane Felix slammed into Nicaragua’s Miskito Coast as a record-setting Category 5 storm Tuesday, whipping metal rooftops through the air like razors and forcing thousands to flee. Hurricane Henriette made for a direct hit on the Cabos resorts of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula.
Twin Atlantic and Pacific hurricanes making landfall on the same day is unprecedented, according to National Hurricane Center records dating back to 1949. The closest comparison happened at 5 a.m. on Aug. 24, 1992, when Hurricane Andrew devastated southern Florida 23 hours after Hurricane Lester hit Baja California, Mexico.

[Response: That was a quote from the NPR article (in itself from the Associated Press), which they have subsequently edited. Nobody that I'm aware in claiming significance in the true meaning of the word.]
