Hurricane Al: 2007's Top Storm

The Center for Oceanic-Atmospheric Prediction Studies (COAPS) reports that 2007 is shaping up as the weakest hurricane season in 30 years.  Which makes 2007's biggest storm Hurricane Al (Gore), a Category 12 monster (the National Hurricane Center's Saffir-Simpson Scale goes only up to Cat 5--about 200 mph winds) is that the financial impact of Al's global warming nostrums runs in the trillions, whereas Katrina will cost in the end about $150 billion.
