During cane season, I not only track the storms but I always tune into The Weather Channel to track Jim Cantore.
Sooooo............You might be a hurricane nut if you have considered asking the NHC to put a floater on Cantore.

You might be a hurricane nut if you treat extra-tropical systems with the same respect as you do tropical ones...or if you rate them based on wind speed the same as a tropical cyclone (right now we are at TD strength for winds, wind gusts in the 40's)

If you bake or buy cakes for hurricanes' birthdays, you might be a hurricane nut.

Either that or you are just looking for an excuse to pig out. :lol:
