I notice that the replacement name for the retired Isidore is Ike. Maybe
it's just me, but "Hurricane Ike" has a certain, somewhat ominous, ring
to it.


Once again, the LeHun correlation between the name of a TD, the solar
flux, and its peak strength has correctly pinpointed the strongest storm
of the season. The diseducated of this group will no doubt retort with
their feeble taunts of fluke and whatnot. Oh well. That looks like it
for this season. There are a few other names that could be destined for
greatness but I don't think there will be enough TD's to reach them.
Probably a good thing.

As for next season, http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutnames.shtml, the astute
among you, if there are any, will notice at least two names early in the
list for 2009 that will spawn major hurricanes. It would need to be a
late start to the season but if the first one coincides with a solar
flare and makes landfall on a Tuesday in very late July onwards, we
could well see Florida disappear. Probably a good thing. The Floridians
amongst you may draw solice from the fact that dear ol' Sol is having a
bit of a rest just now. Don't bother asking me which two, btw. If you're
too stupid to see them then I doubt me telling you would help any. This
probably means all of you.
