Hurricanes!

This has been one of the worst years for hurricanes with 3 of top 10 strongest storms occurring this fall. Fortunately all three weakened before hitting land, but they still caused a great deal of destruction including Katrina that destroyed a large part of the gulf coast.

This hurricane season has now had two storms named after members of the Trankina family!! First there was Hurricane Rita which at one point was a monster Category 5 storm. Rita weekend just before hitting near Houston, but caused considerable damage. Grandma gave Mom a hard time about the it, but now there is a storm named after her! Hurricane Wilma is now off the coast of Mexico. At one point Wilma was the strongest storm on record. It has weekend, but is still expected to cross the Gulf Of Mexico again and hit Florida.
