The Atlantic just made it to September 21 without a hurricane.
Last time that happened? 1914.
Fay almost ruined it Sunday night. It hit 70 mph. Hurricane strength is 74.
Now it’s falling apart, and nothing else is expected for at least a week.
Let's keep the streak going!!!!

Today's Useless Fact of the Day - Did you know the world’s oldest known fingernails were discovered in northwestern Wyoming’s Bighorn Basin? Dating to approximately 55.8 million years ago during the early Eocene epoch, the fossilized remains belong to Teilhardina brandti, an extinct, lemur-like primate that measured just six inches long and navigated tree canopies. Unlike earlier primate relatives, which still relied on sharp claws, Teilhardina brandti possessed flattened nails. This transition from claws to flat nails represents a huge evolutionary milestone, giving early primates the tactile precision and firm grip needed to navigate small branches and forage in ancient rainforests.
