For me it was simple as I always like to track Tropical Cyclones around the world and I watch them from the moment they begin to take shape so that is my nickname.

X-I found the letter interesting, typhoon-I mainly track typhoons and I live in a place where typhoons forms, and cyclone because I also track cyclones from other basins.

I'm a big fan of euro, the weather model and 6208 is just random numbers i typed along with it but lately, i'm leaning more towards GFS.

petit bois = little woods. It's a remote uninhabited island of the coast of Mississippi. The island is about 10 miles long but has only a very small wooded area on it. It has been impacted but many many major storms. Camille, Frederic, Georges, Ivan and Katrina in recent years. "Major Hurricane Hit Capital"

Resident of the Atlantic Basin's Major Hurricane Hit Capital!
Camille (200+winds), Frederic, Goerges, Katrina... and many many more.
Disclaimer: I'm likely the smartest guy here... but I have no idea where a tropical cyclone will go. I suggest you take my opinion as a grain of salt. I suggest you look to the National Hurricane Center for accurate info.

I am a physical therapist by trade and my name is patrick. originally went to school to be a met, but switched when I realized I little aptitude for physics/calculus/etc. In hindsite, I probably would be a met today if I had gone to Mississippi state where the curriculum was a little less, shall we say, rigorous, than Florida State. It was a good ride though and proud to say I wondered those hallowed halls for a year and a half.
