If storms ‘Lee’ and ‘Margot’ combine, will they be naming it ‘L’Escargot?’ ;)

LOL!

That would be fine, but from there I hope it goes to Kennebunk to visit a person I know, the most arrogant and dishonest liberal imaginable, a multi-millionaire on big pharma money (his wife's job, he's a house husband). They recently built a million dollar home there. It would be so nice if Lee dropped a tornado right on his doorstep.

Interesting. I've been going up to the Kennebunkport area almost every year since the early 1980s. (Hubby and I don't have a house there - we stay in hotels) The wealth in that area is incredibly astounding...

EVERY time we go to Kennebunkport / coastal Maine we see an incredible number of new multi-million $$ houses going up, on or close to the ocean. Makes me wonder what these people do for a living to be able to afford these places.

The two different people/families I know who have houses on the ocean in the K-Port area inherited the houses and money from parents.

I vote for ‘15’ to be named ‘Nutmeg’ when it reaches hurricane levels. ;)

Other than that, looks like this is going to hit nothing but a bunch of grazing sheep, so...it’s time to buy yarn, STAT!

Nutmeg would make a wonderful storm name! This year, however, Nigel has the honor of being the “N” name.

Thanks for keeping up the hurricane threads.

I hope I wasn’t too put-offish on the previous thread- this is much appreciated.

Better start making plans.

Makes ME wonder why these ppl aren’t caring about the climate change ocean rising destruction of beaches and beyond. Maybe they don’t believe it either. ;)
