My take on the Tropical Storm Alberto coverage. I hate it.
And so it begins... The first named storm of the 2006 hurricane season has formed. It's name is 'Alberto'. Named so, I presume, after our equally destructive Attorney General. As of this writing, the storm is tracking toward Florida and is strengthening.
The first tropical depression of the 2006 Atlantic hurricane season formed Saturday in the northwestern Caribbean Sea, and was expected to become the year's first named storm, forecasters said. It will be called Alberto.
This year's hurricane season could match the record breaking destruction caused by storms in 2005, the United Nations warned.
Yet another hurricane may be on its way, and with the Greek nomenclature, these storms are just as threatening, yet somehow less personal.
