 RW>There's nothing new in this...Tim's is correct and Bill's is pure BS!


 TR> Like most liberal democrats, Bill knows a lot of stuff that isn't true.


 TR> It is being spoken of as a `hurricane' by the entire country; rescue
 TR> workers, those who were hit by it, the insurance companies paying the
 TR> damages...etc etc.


 TR> History books will list it as `hurricane Sandy'.


 BM>I have come to the firm belief you have a case of a severe reading
 BM>comprehention disorder, either that or the straw hat with the dangling tea
 BM>bags is cutting off circulation to your brain. Now try to follow me.  I
 BM>promise I talk more S L O W L Y.....


 BM>If you go back a few posts, I stated that while Sandy was in the
 BM>Caribbean, and while it passed over the Bahamas and even when it came
 BM>close to the Outer banks, it was classified a hurricane.


 TR> You are trying to play `gotcha', here.


 TR> I don't care what it `was'! *WAS* is past tense!

Hey, first thing you've gotten right... the syntax of the word was... the
problem is you can't or won't comprehend it's meaning.


 TR> It is now, and during its existance, was called a *hurricane*!

I never denied the fact when it was over the Caribbean, Bermuda and as far
north as the Otter Banks it "was" classified a hurricane. Now, being the word
"was" is 1st and 3rd person singular pt. indicative of be... how does this
float your boat...  Be that as it may had been a hurricane doesn't mean when it
made landfall it was one.  That's the point my clueless friend.. 

 TR> It was refered to as a *hurricane* in the press, broadcast media,
 TR> rescue workers, by government officials who govern in the areas it hit,
 TR> by talk radio hosts who reported on it, by insurance companies who are
 TR> paying the damages.


 TR> Now....*un-officially* it is known as *Superstorm Sandy*. If you are
 TR> one of those *un*-officials, I will understand. BUT! (I will type
 TR> SLOWLY...so you can keep up)

If you read back I called it a super strom from the begining but I guess
senility is setting in.
 

 TR> Hurricanes...as defined by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
 TR> Administration, are tropical cyclones.


 TR> On a list of *costliest hurricanes*, *hurricane* Sandy is listed at #2.
 TR> It is listed as a category 3 *hurricane*.

 TR> The first on the list is Katrina, which was a category 5 *hurricane*.

By who?  The NOAA?

 TR> I don't care what it was when it went in which direction, or made
 TR> landfall here or there.

Well you should... that's the purpose of this discussion.

 TR> It is called a *hurricane*! By everyone who should know what a
 TR> *hurricane* is.

I agree, when it was out at sea.  When it made land it wasn't.  You see Tim,
most insurance companies offer home owner policies to those who reside on the
coastlines with an increased deductible for hurricains.  Right now, like you,
they are in a panic that the NOAA has determined Sandy was not a hurricane
therefore said insurance companies will need to dig deeper.  


 TR> Hurricane Katrina caused over 1800 deaths.


 TR> *Hurricane* Sandy killed 286 people.


 TR> *You* can call it anything you like. Your little `gotcha' game is only
 TR> making you look ridiculous.

You do have issues with facts... the only person that is looking rediculous is
the one you see in the mirror everyday.  


 TR> It was a *hurricane*.

When it was at sea, I agree.  When it hit Atlantic City.... it slowed down to
do some gambling.

AGAIN, you can ramble all you want but this is the last time I will be
discussing this with you. You have zero sense of knowledge when it comes to the
experts (NOAA) who take the data and create reports based on the data.... not
what Briebart says.
