Huh
So I’m wondering, does it make me a bad person that I read the 2008 hurricane forecast — seven hurricanes, three of them “major” — and thought, “Halleleujah”?

why did you think Halleleujah?

Because seven hurricanes in the Atlantic means seven possibilities for a lot of rain in the Atlanta area. (Remember the drenching we got during Hurricane Ivan?)
If we’re REALLY lucky, one of them will be slow-moving and will sit over Lake Lanier for a day or so.

Hmm… I guess its all perspective… having been through a major hurricane the thought is very frightening to me… even if Atlanta gets rain.

Only if it doesn’t make me a bad person to wish for global warming.
I’m really cold right now

Dan, you don’t need global warming. You just need to come back to the South, where it is currently 70-something degrees. I am going to wear open-toed shoes today.
(You brought it up. This does not count as mocking.)
Aisha — sorry, I forgot about your hurricane experience. I guess by the time a hurricane hits Atlanta, it’s really not a hurricane anymore… just a LOT of rain. And since the experts are saying the water situation is so dire only a slow-moving hurricane could save us…
What I’d really lilke is a nice, gentle, non-destructive hurricane that brings us lots of water.
Asma Auntie — so true!
