So this will be the third hurricane in a month to hit Florida; 2, they
said, was highly unusual. But 3? Whether or not this is a result of global
warming, just maybe George Bush will start to come on board with the
rest of the world in doing something about emissions now, especially with a
brother to look after in the hurricane's path. When it starts to hit
home... ?

Hardly. Florida may be hit 3 times but Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and
Alabama have had none. So that's 3 landfalls in the gulf states this
season so far, not unusual at all.

Still turning out to be a nasty season of course, especially so as it
was a late starter and all the bad ones seem to be coming at the same
time.
