Wait. Last year, the warming Pacific was going to cause the entire Eastern Seaboard to be immolated by hurricanes. This year, it's the opposite. Do these guys get paid bonuses for hyperbole?

Last year, the warming Pacific was going to cause the entire Eastern Seaboard to be immolated by hurricanes. What, is the Pacific Ocean going to pour gasoline on the East Coast and flick matches at it? :^)

Wait. Last year, the warming Pacific was going to cause the entire Eastern Seaboard to be immolated by hurricanes. I'm heading out for bread, milk, toilet paper and batteries as soon as the stores open...
