Hurricane Central / Re: Tropical Storm Dorian

Can you define a "weak" hurricane season?

I meant "weak" in terms of intensity and impact.  These storms aren't hitting much of anything (not that anyone even wants them to anyway).  A season could have 20 named storms and yet not be particularly notable as long as most of them don't make landfall.

They're saying Dorian will be driven out to sea by a trough and therefore won't impact the East Coast at all.  It seems as though we're having a weak hurricane season so far, although that would be considered a good thing by those who have suffered through many of these storms in years past.  However, it's only July.

I'm looking forward to hearing "February."  Any music that captures the "true feel" of TWC gets my vote.

Kids used to joke about school being "prison," and the sad truth is that this is becoming reality with all of these mindless regulations.  It's no wonder schools are failing with this kind of garbage going on.

Ugh, that sounds like imitation-Texas-weather or something.

This has been a strange year for that kind of weather.  I've heard the term "retrograde" on TWC more times this year than I ever remember hearing it before.  A while back, it seems like I heard it twice in one segment referring to two different systems.
