| What's in the water in the Gulf of Mexico? |
|
Is there a broiler under that water in the Gulf of Mexico? All the hurricanes down there seem to intensify, and then weaken as soon as they hit landfall.

| 1. When I was a boathand down there in the oilfields, I used to go swimming off the boat. |

It's like hot bath water this time of year.

| 2. is this supposed to be a class in basic meteorology? |
|
cause the broiler is on the topside of the gulf (that big yellow ball in the sky that is roasting the planet) and the rest...well... kinda makes sense.

It brings the very warm water up from the caribbean and makes the GOM very toasty.
Not to mention that whole Sun thing.
