Well here are my predictions for 2005:

1-Osama Bin Laden will be killed in a surprise US special forces operation insde Iran.

2-The stock market will surpass the 11,000 mark three times in 2005.

3-George Bush will have a scare because of an assasination atempt in the US.

4-Another year of hurricanes for Florida but Texas will see them too.

5-The pope will retire from his post due to very serious heatlh problems.

6-Fidel Castro will be killed in Habana by a sniper.

7-North Korea will desist from producing Nukes and will pact with the US a trade deal.

8-Storm2k will continue to grow in membership and will top the 10,000 mark. :)

9-Another power blackout will occur in 2005 like the one in the NE in 2004 this time affecting the midwest and the whole east coast.

10- The Pittsburgh Steelers will win the Superbowl.

There will be at least one Supreme Court retirement

Bush assassination attempt scare

Cheney will have a major health scare(heart attack?)

Hurricane Season will be much more normal but 1-2 storms will really stick out as big ones.

1-Osama Bin Laden will be killed in Pakistan in a palace where he has been staying all along.

2-The stock market will surpass the 11,000 mark four times in 2005, and finally stay above 10,700 by years end as the economy continues to improve.

3-Another terrorist attack(s) will occur in the US and it will involve a dirty bomb and bio weapons and cause thousands of deaths at a major sporting event or holiday type celebration.

4-Florida will experience 4 tropical cyclone impacts, 2 Hurricanes, but only one will be major and it will be very late in the season in November. Texas will also see 4 tropical cyclone impacts with two hurricanes, both major with one of them impacting the Houston area.

5-The pope will die in his sleep and an American will be elected to the Papacy.

6-Fidel Castro will be killed in Habana by a sniper.(Can't argue with Luis on this one)

7-North Korea tests it's first nuclear weapon in defiance of the US.

8-Storm2k will continue to grow in membership and will top the 10,000 mark.-(Who in their right mind would argue with this one?)AND WILL BE RECOGNIZED PUBLICLY BY THE NHC FOR OUR EXCELLENCE IN THE TROPICAL ARENA.

Just to clarify... Strong Earthquake means it would be significant to a major city in California, like the 1994 Northridge Quake.

Here's mine...subject to edit before 12/31/04!!

1) There will be a serious breech of security along our Canadian border...one that sets a largescale hunt in motion.

2) The Movie of the Year for 2005 will be an adventure film, while the final episode of Star Wars makes its debut after one of its actors/actresses meets with personal tragedy.

3) The hurricane season will jump start three days before June, but be much more moderate than 2004. A significant hurricane will approach the Galveston/Houston area in August, however.

4) Someone wearing RED will get the Oscar for best actress of the year.

5) There will be a major discovery regarding problems within the U. S. Mint.

6) Christian Music will take a serious hit with the loss of at least one well known musician.

7) The Iraq elections will be compromised in many ways, but the overall effort will signal a stronger will among Iraqi people.

8) Rumsfeld will step down shortly after the State of the Union address.

9) Martha Stewart will survive her jail time but never regain her position of power and substance. She will leave the country late in the year.

10) There will be serious moves to reinstate the military draft.
