From Alpha to Zeta

[eggwards]

Look out! It's Tropical Storm Catherine Zeta-Jones!!!

Of course, it's in the mid 70's here, and will be for another week. It's doubtful, but couldn't you just see the Texas coast being hit by Hurricane Zeta in January? Crazy.

So will the next storm be Tropical Storm Eta, or will they got to the first name for 2006, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales? The actual hurricane season doesn't start until June.

Although Hurricane Eta sounds funny.

Eta makes me think of Etta James and I don't want anything more happening to New Orleans.

Well, there's always Etta Candy, Wonder Woman's pal in the WAVES.

Don't worry. I hear Tropical Storm Catherine Zeta-Jones only blows away men over 60.

We'll have to keep Michael Douglas away from the coast for a while.

She's causing mass destruction to that coastline.

Ooh, Alberto!

I thought I'd go ask the Weather Jesus over on soc.motss. He wasn't around but someone else posted the following:

    Happy New Year, everyone, and welcome the hurricane season of
    2006! Last year's hurricane season went from A to Z--Arlene to
    Zeta--but this year's hurricane season will be the first to go
    from Z to A, at least at the start. We start the hurricane season
    of 2006 with Tropical Storm Zeta, and the next storm of the year
    will be called Alberto.

I had to laugh at that. And even though the name Katrina will
forever be linked with a nasty storm, a name like "Katrina"
sounds a bit slutty in my twisted head.
