>From today's Globe and Mail:
>>>Since 1979, when the U.S. National Hurricane Center began alternating
male and female names for storms, Atlantic hurricanes with male monikers
have caused four times as much damage as tempests given female names, says
the Sun-Sentinel of Fort Lauderdale, Fla. The six costliest ''female''
storms caused $13-billion (U.S.) in damage, compared with $53-billion for
the six worst male storms. Meteorologists say this difference is just the
luck of the draw.<<<<
'Luck of the draw....' Yeah, right.
