There's a better chance of Floydbuster voting Democrat than Ophelia becoming retired.

I think she should be retired because she was a pain. But I doubt they will retire her this year.

Oh don't I wish. :roll: I already have my "speech" prepared for when the last advisory is written and I give her the :Door: and trust me, it's gonna be a good, long, juicy one. (don't worry, I don't plan on breaking any rules, just it will be interesting at the same time)

CNN is now reporting that damage estimates from Ophelia are in the range of $800 million.....still I think retirement is extremely unlikely,

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?tit ... ne_Ophelia

Final damages may total 1.3 - 1.6 billion? Hmm... and its still going to go through the maritimes (and it will probably be worse there than if a tropical storm of the same strength hit the lower US coast, since they don't build with storms in mind).
