Well i will come up and say i was that 1 swing vote that had Ike to win, I was well aware nargis was allot more extreme and worse than Ike, but Ike had the greater impact on me and everyone else in the US and i was clrearly a aw-inspiring storm to watch.

had Ike have tracked 50 miles closer to Haiti... it would have had a far better case as the flooding (after the disaster caused by Hanna) would have been horrific.

Just shocked at the results

It doesn't sound like you've read the other posts in this thread. You ought to. Then it wouldn't seem so unbelievable.
