2. Soon to be Wilma is expected to be

another dangerous hurricane with loads of rain. I can tell you that it hasn't stopped raining in Jamaica since Thursday night and I mean heavy rain. This is looking more like Florida by the hour.

3. Look like Florida is going to get some more this year

Those gulf waters are awful warm. Let's hope it doesn't explode in strength like the other two.

4. Oh No! What is the date of the end of the hurricane season?

And, is that date cast in stone?

5. As kids we were taught this

June -- too soon.
July -- stand by.
August -- look out you must.
September -- remember.
October -- all over.

However the real hurricane season is June -November. 2005 suggests that they should rewrite the above.
