Try making a living in NY selling Homeowners where we haven't had a hurricane in 23 years. Predictions of doom and gloom may well be accurate for Florida and the Gulf Coast, but have been dead wrong for the Northeast.

I have my own theory as to why hurricanes haven't come up this way in so long: Nature abhors a vacuum. Tropical storms that spawn in the South Atlantic begin moving West. At the same time, large numbers of immigrants have been moving from Mexico and Central America into the US, thus leaving a vacuum there. The tropical storms and hurricanes then move to Central American, drawn in by this vacuum. Since we have so many of these new immigrants up North here, the storms stay away.

Makes about as much sense as the Colorado folks do. And teh results seem to verify this thoery. When are the Noble Proze folks going to call me?
