Wilma Now Most Intense Atlantic Storm Ever
AP - 1 hour, 44 minutes ago
SAN PEDRO SULA, Honduras - Gathering strength at a fierce pace, Hurricane Wilma swirled into the most intense Atlantic storm ever recorded Wednesday, a Category 5 monster packing 175 mph wind that forecasts warned was "extremely dangerous." Wilma was dumping rain on Central America and Mexico, and forecasters warned of a "significant threat" to Florida by the weekend.

Forecasters said Wilma was stronger than the devastating Labor Day hurricane that hit the Florida Keys in 1935, the strongest Atlantic hurricane to make landfall on record.

The National Weather Service unveiled it's new classification system for Hurricanes today. Based in part on the National Security Threat Level, which uses a color coded system. A spokesmen for the NWS said "...this will clarify some confusion regarding the various categories of storms & hurricanes and the proper response necessary". The new code is as follows:

Category 1:FUCK IT
Category 2: WHAT THE FUCK?
Category 3: OH FUCK ME!
Category 4: FUCK ME RUNNING!
Category 5: WELL AND TRULY FUCKED!

The greek letters thing they have planned just doesn't excite. I think it should go like this:

Series 1: Normal people names, A-W
Series 2: Thundercats
Series 3: Hip-Hop artists
Series 4: Names from the Book of Mormon

At the moment, we are not amused! (But we did like the new rating system ... it's actually clearer than the Nat Emergency ones, which need new colors anyway, cause we're bored with the old ones!)

We should probably name them after deities, then worship whichever ones spare us.
