People were pissed at the electric companies since it was around 28 degrees F with no heat and there were police posted at every open gas station since there were many fights over people / cars cutting the lines. Some moron even pulled out a gun and demanded gas... Anyway, my area is pretty much back to normal, but the shore is still a warzone.

yea i lost power for about three days, works been closed since tuesday and don't even know when it will open back up. a lot of people still don't get gas now here is a big problem. they put an "odd and even" rule so depending on the last number on your license plate depends on what day you can get gas.

I lost power for one minute then house generator kicked in. The rest of the people in my neighborhood lost power up to 16 hours unless they had portable generators.

I was in Jamaica when Hurricane Andrew was forecast to land, also I couldn't go to the keys on 2 visits to the US cos of storm warnings. I always thought that since hurricanes started out at sea then it fit with the sea faring tradition to feminise them. I was a bit miffed when I heard male names so thanks for the insight JP.
Just curious, how many of u guys live on the east coast? I know Ether, Rikan, Fluff and Necro (florida) do and Papa is from Boston (is that classed as e.coast?). 1 or 2 AR guys too.

While a tornado would have skipped to the next county and disappeared before you could call it “Ralph,” hurricanes take their sweet time building up their winds, moving towards coastlines and back out to sea at a stately pace. So it’s important to identify these big storms for pilots, ships, and people living in a hurricane’s path. In the U.S. before the 1950s, hurricanes were identified by latitude and longitude, a system that became confusing when there was more than one tropical cyclone brewing at a time. In the early 50s, the U.S. decided to name storms using the Army/Navy phonetic alphabet, devised for World War II military communications: Able, Baker, Charlie, etc. So in 1952, the news reported on Hurricane Dog, Hurricane Easy, and Hurricane Fox. (If the tropical storm season had been busier, coast-dwellers might have been threatened by Hurricanes How, Item, Love, Sugar, Uncle, X-ray, and Zebra.) Human beings have a long history of personifying nature (as in Thor, the Norse god of thunder), so using human names for big storms makes sense. Hurricanes that hit the West Indies in the 19th and early 20th centuries were named after saints. And in the 1940s, weather forecasters often gave hurricanes women’s names, like World War 2 fliers naming their fighter planes.
In 1953, the weather service officially switched to women’s names, and in the 1970s, men’s names were added to the mix. Which is why, today, we can be rained on by a hurricane named Richard. Lists of names are selected for different ocean regions. To make naming easy, there are 6 years of alphabetized lists, which then repeat. In 2008, the first Atlantic hurricane will be named Arthur, the next Bertha. (Names beginning with Q, U, X, Y, and Z are out, since there aren’t enough of them. Which probably pleases the world’s Quentins and Zoes.) These days, the World Meteorological Organization creates and maintains the rotating lists. Like the team number of a great baseball player, names of the most destructive storms are retired from the roster. In hurricane-heavy 2005, names ran out. So after hurricane Wilma, storms were named for letters of the Greek alphabet: Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, and Zeta. |
