1. I almost thought this was a joke

[malaise]

8. Serious as a judge

[raccoon]

15. I did too. Thought this storm would blow Tropical Storm Don out of the water.

Literally.

[PubliusEnigma]

2. It's strange that there has been a Don and a Hilary this year.

Is this how meteorologists have fun?

[malaise]

3. At one point some folks thought both would form around the same time

[malaise]

4. No - there was a great article on Weather Underground showing that it

was mere coincidence (and remember this is a male Hilary) - the female has two lls.

14. WU hasn't been the same since they redid their website

The site loads very slow for me.

I just went over there and checked my local weather.

Now Firefox is freezing and I have to restart it.

5. And wimpy Don petered out

[malaise]

7. Didn't last a day

Tiny hands Don was impotent

[HAB911]

9. I have ideas that is our Don's problem too

(I hope the male virility crowd here doesn't take me to task for being insensitive)

[malaise]

11. Join the line

[malaise]

6. There are seven Tropical Storms in the Pacific at this time

[Not Ruth]

10. Why did they choose that spelling of the name?

[fierywoman]

12. And if Hurricane Hilary becomes Trump's Katrina?....

... It would be a delicious irony.

13. Not likely
