The he/she thing annoys me too.  Probably not enough to get into a debate about it.  It is what it is.

Was very surprised to see a Moderator jump in that one. But I'll do my best to not refer to one of Mother Earth's tropical storms as a female or male. Although "it" really sounds inappropriate to me. But hey, I'm not a pro met. Funny the silly things that drive people crazy. :)

Does that mean weather is not part of a global living entity that all interconnects of which we belong?

Side note: Is there a higher resolution NHC graphic than what they put on on their Home Page:

I like to super-impose the current sats over it to see exactly where it is in relation to the guidance. Of course it is a bit distorted as well, so have to distort my sat screenshots to fit the land borders...

Love Liz Warren! LOL

Yea, now that IS off topic...

Having tossed this concept around in the back of my mind all day, I can see where gender references could have potential for offending sexist comments when a storm causes problems.

And that it's not actually a person so assigning a pronoun to it when talking about it is kinda not ideal.

I'm OK calling a storm he or she, always have. Now my choice of nouns to describe a he or she storm might push the limits. Like Hurricane Irma, oh Hurricane Michael for example...my thoughts should not be out on a public forum...

Please expand upon this. What key statistical insight am I missing when I say that COVID is a bigger threat to america than a hurricane?

Stop harassing him. You don’t do this when he gets his winter forecast from KA and that methodology is a secret
