A Warning from on High?

Frances did quite a number on eastern and central Florida over the last 30 hours or so. It has since passed into the Gulf of Mexico, where it may restrengthen back to hurricane status before striking the northern panhandle of.... Florida.

Yes, the exact same hurricane is about to strike the exact same state a second time! How freaking weird is that!?! And all this comes on top of the damage wreaked upon the alleged "Sunshine State" by Tropical Storm Bonnie and Hurricane Charley.

What's more, even after Frances finishes its handiwork in Florida, it may not be over for the state's beleaguered residents.

Currently off the coast of South America is none other than Hurricane Ivan. With sustained winds of 125 mph, it is currently rated as a category three storm, and is expected to pass near or over Cuba towards the end of the week. The center of the current predicted storm track takes right into southern Florida a day or two after that.

Any bets on how long before clever meteorologists begin referring to it as "Ivan the Terrible?" I'm thinking Thursday.

So what is going on with all these hurricanes? Why are they targeting Florida so often this year? True, most of the state does stick out into the ocean, making North America look like it overdosed on Viagra, but I still can't remember a year in which they have been hit this many times.

You know what I think it is? It's a warning from God to Floridians not to f*ck up the election again.
