IMHO, hurricanes should only be named after women.

Wasn't the reason to start using men's names because they were running out of women's names? Dennis was already used in 1999.:confused:

Yep its headed back pretty close to where Ivan came through a few months ago. It looks more like farther east towards Navarre, Fort Walton, Destin than Mobile, Gulf Shores, Orange Beach.

My dad is down in Orange Beach right now seeing what he can get covered up on the house he is working on. This lady just got her house rebuilt from Ivan and is having my dad is doing all the interior finish work. If Dennis heads that way it looks like he's gonna get to build it a third time in two years

Dont they alternate male, female thru the alphabet and then swap the next year and start with female at letter 'A' and so on?

I was right....here is the list for this year.
Arlene
Bret
Cindy
Dennis
Emily
Franklin
Gert
Harvey
Irene
Jose
Katrina
Lee
Maria
Nate
Ophelia
Philippe
Rita
Stan
Tammy
Vince
Wilma

Next year the list starts with a male name at the top and alternates to a female with letter B and so on.....

Do some research to where the majority of the refineries are that supply gas to the east coast,,,

or just go off on a rant like you normally do.

I don't live anywhere NEAR the east coast.


just read into posts and make rash generalizations about anyone like you normally do.

oh yeah... you didn't read y whole post... just to clarify...

LOCAL paper talks about LOCAL gas prices being above $2.50.... heck it jumped to $2.49 at 2PM this afternoon.

but i forgot all you care about is making generalizations about posters here.
