Actually, Dr. Brin, there is a much easier way to test this. One could simply look at the official hurricane track maps and compare it to this silly chain-letter. Just looking at the *real* path of the eye of Hurricane Frances, the chain-letter swerves to avoid Pasco and Hernando counties in West Florida, and then to avoid Jefferson and Leon counties in North Florida are pure works of fiction. Of course, it is utterly fictitious to imagine that a storm hundreds of miles across could "hit" Martin county while "sparing" St. Lucie. These are *hurricanes* after all. Anyway, while you could have tested this map yourself, you could also have simply checked snopes.com: http://www.snopes.com/politics/bush/hurricane.asp And really, Dr. Brin, this is now the *third* time (at minimum) you have said something to this effect on the List. Did you really think that it would be funny the third time around?
