2. heh

I am glad for you that Tampa isn't getting this crap; but sad for the poor people that are going to be hit...

See you in DC!

3. I read it more as a tone of concern for people we care about...

Yeah, of course NO DUers know it's coming. :shrug: I don't get how expressing concern for friends has become this divisive issue.

4. Progmom, expressing concern, and telling people

that a hurricane is on the way are two very different issues.

I was asking a question, not trying to come up with a divisive issue.

Why is the word "divisive" so overused on DU anyway?

oh - and i checked - this is only the second time i have used the word "divisive" on DU. :P

If I feel the urge to track hurricanes (and in California, that urge is very rare indeed), I will take a peek at the NOAA site. I do not understand the obsession with hurricanes, and I LIVED in hurricane country for over 12 years once.

Good morning from Los Angeles. :donut:
