Dennis the Menace

Hurricane Dennis is at this moment pounding the holy sh*t out of the Florida and Alabama coasts with its 120 mph winds. Rated as a category 3 storm, Dennis is the first major hurricane to hit the US during July in over 70 years. It's also only the 7th major hurricane to form (the others didn't make landfall) in 150 years of record keeping (major hurricanes are defined as ones of category 3 or higher). Finally, Dennis is also the fourth named storm of the year, the first time in history this many storms have formed this early. This could be an ominous portent of what's to come, since the hurricane season doesn't usually peak until September.

I'm not sure how yet, but give me time and I'll figure out a way to blame all this on President Bush.
