Third time’s the charm?
Current Affairs 09/05/2004 |This is getting insane. Hurricane Frances is still working its way across Florida, and in the last paragraph of one article about the storm comes word that a third hurricane may be on the way.
Meanwhile, in what is being seen as an unusually active year of hurricane activity, the fifth hurricane of the season, Hurricane Ivan, formed in the Atlantic about 1,900 kilometers east of the Lesser Antilles. Forecasters say Ivan could threaten the islands of the Caribbean and the southeastern United States later this week.
Someone in Florida sure ticked God off!

Maybe it’s karma from the 2000 election.

Sheesh. That does look bad.

In the middle of the Frances deluge, at least one of the channels covering it (Weather, Fox, CNN - I forget which) started to hype Ivan, implying that Ivan WOULD be powerful and WOULD target Florida. Anything for ratings, I guess…

karma from the 2000 election is far gone.
this is a big fat warning not to let it happen again.
