How about

You might be a Hurricane Nut if you track every little tropical wave that exits Africa, even during the offseason.

Got lots of those these days....

You might be a hurricane nut if when contemplating a name for your offspring, you consult the WMO lists instead of a baby book.

You might be a hurricane nut if you find it fitting to die by a hurricane.


You might be a hurricane nut if you went to see 50 storms this season and 5 cat5s.

You might be a hurricane nut if you went to see a katrina like storm moving into Miami and New york.

You might be a hurricane nut if you went to work at the nhc.

Out of the ones I made up these are my favorites

If you remember the Hurricane Andrew anniversary but forget your wedding aniversary, you might be a Hurricane nut.


If you break up with someone because their namesake Hurricane didnt cause enough damage, You might be a Hurricane nut.

If an episode of Talkin Tropics changed your life, you might be a Hurricane nut.

If you call an overflowing toilet "Storm Surge" You might be a Hurricane nut.

If you stand up your date because "Talkin Tropics" is on, you might be a Hurricane nut.

If when your mother asks how are your grades and you reply, "I have a category 3 average" You might be a Hurricane nut

If you purposely schedule your wedding on the aniversary of a famous Hurricane so you always remember it, you might be a Hurricane nut

like medicine, i love studying the complex nature of hurricanes. Theres always something new to learn, so its a learning process as well as a humbling one. I think we need to remain sensitive to those who have lost loved ones in storms in the past, we can be amazed by a hurricane but be saddened when people have to die. :(

I agree, windycity! I love studying tropical cyclones but don't like the death and destruction they bring.

As one directly impacted by Katrina, in every conceivable way, I can relate to certain boundaries that are needed. Talking, and even having a little humor can be therapeutic; however I tend to agree with the last couple of posts. Having a little fun by talking about how people can be totally fascinated by these storms is one thing; but any claims of fascination with seeing one of these things destroy a city goes a tad over the edge. JMHO

Yes, definitely. Even then though that is going way too far over the edge.
