Another Storm Brews Over Atlantic

This has turned out to be one of the busiest hurricane seasons in history. Tropical storm Wilma is forming, tying the record set in 1933. She is the 21st named storm in this season.

Currently near the Cayman Islands, the depression may follow a track that will see it enter the Gulf of Mexico in four days, according to the hurricane center. Oil gained the most in four days on concern the depression may threaten Gulf supplies, following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

Hopefully, this storm will never get near the Gulf of Mexico! It would be tragedy upon tragedy, if is did, and hit the coast lines once again. This storm is the last to be named from our alphabet. If there is another one, heaven forbid, it will be named after the Greek alphabet, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and so on.

Ron, I think it's our human nature to want to 'clean up' things that are broken. So, I would assume, were I in that situation, I'd be cleaning up the yards and house, redoing the fences and living life today like there was no tomorrow. We never know; Katrina and Rita showed us that fact.

I feel for all those who got flooded and their insurance won't pay, although they've probably been with them for years! Sad! And, for all those that didn't have insurance at all, I know they are heart broken. But, as someone said, life goes on, and we have to do the best we can.
