Sunday was the official start of the 2008 Hurrycane Season.The Zoolatry Humans have had to evacuate twice for big hurrycanes.
They can get very noisy and very scary.
In 1995, Hurrycane Erin did bad stuff to their house and
our ZH says she lived with boards and black plastic for 11-months.
I wonder if my friends KARL (04) and PABLO (07) know
they've had hurrycanes named after them.
I wonder if my friends GRACE and VICTOR know that
in 2009 there will be hurrycanes named for them.
I wonder if my friends IRIS (01) and LILY (01) and MARILYN (95) know
that their names have been officially "retired" cause
they were really bad hurrycanes.
The wind has to be at least 74 mph before it can be an official hurrycane.
Hurrycanes have categories: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Five is really bad!
The word hurrycane comes from the name of the Caribbean god of evil, "Huracan".
On the other side of the world they call hurrycanes cyclones.
Hope you won't be affected too much this season. Keep a tight hold of the kitties. Don't want them blown away!
ReplyDeleteCrikey!!
ReplyDeleteWe worry about you kitties in Fla. Our Grandparents live in St.Pete and we worry about them too!
ReplyDeleteSounds scary! I hope they don't come your way!
ReplyDeleteHurricanes sound so scary! We hope you won't be affected by any this season.
ReplyDeleteThose are interesting factoids! Hope we don't get any hurrycanes or if we do, they're very weak. There is even a hurrycane named for me, Nana. LOL
ReplyDeleteWe always thought we lived too far north until Hurry cane Juan hit in 2003!!! We do not like them either!!!

It's really too bad that they've never named a hurricane after ME. Of course, they have named one Bonnie and one Dennis in other years and those are my people.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how is an hurricane, it sure's terrible. A week ago, the (almost) hurricane alma attacks my home, it was horrible (i fink you watch it on my blog). It was the fisrt time that a hurrycane (almost) takes place in Costa Rica

ReplyDeleteMine Mommie's been in a few hurrycanes and tropikal storms. All of us on tha Gulf an Atlantic coasts will really be watching from now on.

See that big county right in the middle, underneath Cocoa? That's Polk County. It's where we lived before we moved to Georgia in 2006. We moved mostly because of hurricanes! 2004 was especially nasty to our county. We had 3 years in a row of hurricane damage, although our damage was not nearly as bad as many of Mom's friends. Mom decided she wanted to live further inland and get out of the way! We hope this is a calm year for everyone's sake.
ReplyDeleteI love the picture and I don't think there has been a hurricane called Fazakerley.
ReplyDeleteWe are hoping for a quiet hurricane season this year, too! My Mommie and Daddie hate putting up the hurricane shutters because it takes many hours.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a "Himmie"cane to us! hahahahahahaha!!!! Be safe this season!
ReplyDeleteLaila and Lilly
Oh we hope it is a quiet season for all of you!
ReplyDeleteInteresting facts about the hurricanes. We all have never seen one. Wish you all the best for this season! Take care, girls!
ReplyDeleteYou are so brave to live there! My LL lived in Ft. Lauderdale right after Andrew so she knows first hand how powerful those storms are. Stay safe this season!
ReplyDeleteKaze

ReplyDeleteFank you for Jakes, piccy, its so hard to believe he was thats small not too long ago!
Those hurricanes sound very scary. I hope that you don't have to deal with any of them near you!
ReplyDeletePurrrrrrrs, Willow

ReplyDeleteHehehe, Is that "HimmieCane" Zoey?
ReplyDeleteWe are convinced they will be naming one after Rocky this year!
We are purrrring and purrraying that all those hurricanes stay far away from all our Kitty furiends and us in Florida this year!!! Hurricanes, hurricanes stay away! Don't come again no other day! Okay so poems aren't our thing, but you know what we mean!
