Why the hurricanes are being talked up? Frances was overestimated. I traced in the news an overblown reaction. Not being experienced on that kind of thing, I kept quiet.

Then came Ivan. It was predicted to go northwest and then hit FLA. It didn't. The more westward it moved, the sharper its turn northwards predicted.

Now Ivan has been moving so much to the west that it has to turn 90 degrees to reach the US. But there is the prediction it'll reach FLA. quehubo.com

Are hurricanes good to sell stuff?

OK, it killed people in the islands it passed, but again, even a fart-strength wind can kill people in places like there, if you keep in mind their construction standards.

Know what? Ivan is going to dissipate around Belize.
