I was kind of excited when I read that this is the year for a Hurricane Laura!

Maybe I'll just end up a Tropical Storm!

Hey, bluecrayons-- You're right! I meant 2008--- I think I was just trying to get the season over quickly before one hits here (Galveston)! Thanks--- it's been corrected.

Glad you didn't come our way, Fay!!! I hoping that Gustav and Hannah come ashore and don't do much damage!

I have to say this not being mean but WOW...my family and thusands like us have lost everything and for this to all but cleabrate the names of the horrable storms that have distroyed lives...WOW...

I am sorry for your losses. I, too, lost a car, part/most of my home, and all of the trees and gardens in my yard thanks to Hurricane Ike. I was not meaning to celebrate the destruction of these storms that are a part of life to everyone who lives on the coast. Making my cards (by candle- and flashlight) during the evacuation has helped with some of the healing. I am truly sorry that the swap offended you. I am leaving it up to the group to decide whether to continue or drop the swap.

If anyone has thoughts/comments, please let me know. Thanks, Susan.
