3. Is this early?

For some reason I thought their cyclone season coincided with our hurricane season.

To me, this probably falls into the South Indian October-May season

5. I've been waiting to see the forecast for the US. There's been some early

forecasts, but they are so far out they can't be very reliable. Of course the later ones aren't that reliable either.

6. Hmm. Well this is the most recent thing I have read on it

8. Wow!

Damn!

9. Also, keep in mind

Thailand is one of the world's largest producers of rice. The supplies are already dangerously low. I wonder if this will impact the rice paddies.

:smoke: Time to stock up.

10. I fear the hurd is going to get culled.
