Since I get a day off due to typhoon, it seems appropriate to make that my subject today.

I didn't realize until a couple days ago that the outward cone from typhoon report maps were showing the probability path of the typhoon. In otherwords, in their best prediction, meteorologist believe a typhoon will eventually move within this cone as the days progress. I always thought it was an indication of the size of the storm. I'd be like "Holy crap! That typhoon is going to cover the entire island (Taiwan) in two days!" Glad I figured that out.

Also, as part 2 of this posting, I want to know who gets the fun job of naming typhoons and hurricanes. I wonder if most of these are names of ex-boyfriends/girlfriends/spouses. If I was entitled to that power, I would start giving stupid names that would either confuse everyone or that everyone would hate saying. I would give a Hurricane the name "Tornado", as to call it "Hurricane Tornado". Or Typhoon Wallachitakamurokitrabani, Hurricane Twrantgpp, Hurricane YoMama, Typhoon Kill-Everyone, and so on.

Go ahead, name a natural disaster.
