hurricane nut

Let me add to this. One of my local tv stations WFTV put out a DVD of the 2004 hurricane season, and I bought one for everyone in my family, and sometimes when its raining outside I put it in and watch it again with the lights off.

Oh I love that DVD. My favorite one was the Charley portion. It made me feel like Charley was happening again.

He who remembers Andrew's Anniversary but forgets his own is likely to be something else other than a hurricane nut.

It's been a while, heres some more.

If you've heard of, and know the locaton of Buras Louisiana, you might be a Hurricane nut.

If you tracked this entire season, you ARE a Hurricane nut.

If you give your Girlfriend/Boyfriend/Husband/Wife a Valentines day card featuring a picture of a Hurricane named after them, you might be a Hurricane nut (I'm somewhat guilty of this actually)

If you keep a list of the 184 costliest U.S hurricanes, you might be a Hurricane nut (I have it)

If you're using the words "El Nino" more then a dozen times a day, you might be a Hurricane nut.

You might be a hurricane nut if you know more about your area hurricane history than the NHC. :lol:

If someone asks you out, but you decline because you rather stay home and track hurricanes, you might just have a bigger problem than just being a hurricane nut.

You might be a hurricane nut if you'd rather search through old news paper archives for storm related stories, than go to a party on Friday Night.
