And it seemed odd for your list to be random, lol…

Those storms all had unsightly damage. You’re right.

In the same way that the voice of Al Michaels signals the official arrival of football season, the sight of Jim Cantore in a windbreaker is assurance that if there is a named storm heading to my shores, so too is Jim. :)

In all three instances, Andrew comes first. Katrina was an abomination, but honestly if it’d hit anywhere else on the map it would have simply been another hurricane. It’s devistation is due solely to the fact that it hit an area that by all geographic and logical intents and purposes is ALREADY under water. It’s magnitude of impact was a result of human error, in a nutshell.

Ivan, compared to Katrina or andrew, does not Even belong on this list.

Anyhow…you’re grandma looked like a hoot. Sorry she passed on so soon.
