3. Let's just hope it will stay as a tropical depression

or at least a tropical storm.

5. According to CNN, it's part of a natural cycle, so don't worry yourself.

The 2005 Atlantic hurricane season was the busiest in 154 years of storm tracking, with records set for the number of named storms (28) and hurricanes (15). Forecasters used up their list of 21 proper names (beginning with Arlene and ending with Wilma) and had to use the Greek alphabet to name storms for the first time.

Atlantic hurricane seasons were relatively mild from the 1970s through 1994. Since then, all but two years have been above normal. Experts say the ocean is in the midst of a 20-year-cycle that will continue to bring strong storms

I wonder where CNN heard that word "cycle?"

Be sure to say that word "cycle" very often. It's part of the war on terrorism.

9. I'm thinking of a natural cycle...

where every so often, 50 to 95% of earth's species go extinct. And then new ones gradually evolve. It's all natural.
