If you stood up at least 28 people during the 2005 Hurricane season, you might be a Hurricane nut. (Get it?)

If you made a 2 page list of Hurricane Katrinas wind gusts, you might be a Hurricane nut.

If you have nothing better to do then make these lists, you might be a Hurricane nut.

If you think about hurricanes constantly, especially in the most inappropriate times, like at a party, school, work, church, etc. I am really guilty of that. :lol:

If you have recurring thoughts of New Orleans getting flooded from Hurricane Katrina and it comes at the most inappropriate moments.

If you like posting hurricane stories and other related stuff on non-weather message boards.

If you think about a monster hurricanes leveling a major city, particularly New York or New Orleans. :eek:

I'm guilty of all of those. #3 and #1 fit me pretty well. When Wilma did her thing that one morning, I could not think of anything else for the rest of the day.

If you keep going back and rereading the posts at Storm2k related to the 3 great hurricanes of 2005 (Katrina, Rita and Wilma)and have those topics bookmarked so you can reread them again, you might be a hurricane nut! (usually read these at work when i want to take a break)

If you have 9,659 Satelitte/Radar images of Hurricanes... that you know of, you might be a Hurricane nut.

If you have 803 satelitte/radar images of Hurricane Katrina, you might be a Hurricane nut.

If your Girlfriends birth stone is Opal and you give her a picture of Hurricane Opal for valentines day, you might be a Hurricane nut.

If you call eating a donut an "Eyewall replacement cycle" you might be a Hurricane nut.

If you call bloodshot eyes, "Lightning in the eyewall" you might be a Hurricane nut.
