Help us name the biggest Hurricane for 2005


 

Batten down the hatches. Here it comes. The all new 2005 Hurricane Season. And boy, it sure is scary what all the experts are saying about this year's fiesta in the skies. . . 

 

 

 

In Retrospect:

This story being out- dated is still a good reference to all that was speculated in past years. Amazing how this year 2009 has produced little Hurricane Activity.

 

According to the Associated Press report out of Fort Collins, CO. 2005 will be one of the most active Hurricane seasons in history. Forecasters at Colorado State University predict 15 named storms, with eight of those becoming hurricanes. Four of the hurricanes are expected to be intense, with sustained winds of 111 miles per hour or greater. The first name on the list for this year's storms is "Arlene."

Four hurricanes hit Florida's coasts last year. I personally know the effects of Hurricane Frances and how she tore through my backyard last year. It is truly amazing to see such storms up close and personal. Just the small amount we experienced here in Northern Florida is enough to keep your eyes and ears open to what's in store for us in 2005.

 

We thought it would be interesting to see who among our listeners would be able to discern which storms will be the gully washers of this years Hurricane Season. Below, you'll see the 2005 named Hurricane list. From this list, think about which storm you think is going to be a 'doozy' of a hurricane. Then, after you've psychically attuned to your 'inner-self', click the corresponding link in our poll and share your comment on your vote. Of course, I have my picks. What is yours? You show me your picks and I'll show you mine. There will be more on this topic in our Listen Now link. So, stay tuned and keep your stories and experiences coming.

 I personally can tell when a bad storm is brewing in the distance. How do I know this? Well, let's just say that I have one 'Hell' of a headache beforehand. I'm assuming this occurs when the barometric pressure changes quickly which in turn effects my inner ear or sinus area. Anyone that has suffered through a 'Sinus-Headache' knows how loud this message can be. I generally find that after the storm is upon the area that I am at, my headache goes away. I also am fascinated by the weather in all its forms. My favorite of course is the creepy Horrific Lightning Thunder storms you can see and hear in almost every Horror movie in existence. It starts slowly gently causing the sheers to sway to and fro. Then, you feel the cool wind that carries the essence of what the storm is all about. (cold and hot air colliding like boxers in a fighting match).
 

Next, there is the threat of circular funnel clouds or Tornados. This type of phenomena is truly an eye-opening vision of hell on Earth. I personally have never had to deal with torandos. But, I can assure you I would rather my track record stay that way. I mean, who wants to go to Kansas in a Tornado. I'd prefer taking the bus any day. Keep your votes coming while the power is still on!
