I don't go to sci.environment anymore, which is where I used to get the latest on hurricanes. Now I am stuck with tv news which doesn't care unless Florida is being ripped apart or NOLA is under water.
Thus, I was surprised to see via Chris Mooney's blog that there is a Category 5 hurricane called Ioke. He says that according to wikipedia "It is the first tropical storm to form in the Central Pacific since 2002...Overnight between August 24 and August 25, Ioke strengthened into a Category 5 storm, the first storm with a name from the Central Pacific list to reach that intensity." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_Pacific_hurricane_season#Hurricane_Ioke Seems like another "first". Is it significant? Coby --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Global Change ("globalchange") newsgroup.
