I like the PA-D of hurricane :o) It's so easier. But, I do like the words Wirbelwind and Wirbelsturm, too :o) Orkan sounds like the exterminators. Thanks for the language lesson, again, Richard!! :o) Lynn Richard Emlin Reed wrote: Of course, you could also say Orkan or Wirbelsturm. Wirbel means "to whirl". Wirbelfluss for whirlpool and Wirbelwind for whirlwind. In PA-D, we said hurricane.

We are in hurricane central (West Palm Beach), but are moving shortly to north Florida, Wakulla County, south of Tallahassee. We will be very, very close to the Gulf. Should we be worried? Judy
