re: Tropical Storm Cindy

Not that they have the best risks today, but you follow my drift.

The Cassidy bill is interesting with how it deals with depopulation and coming back.

Arlene was extremely early on in the year april or may, Bret is out in far south Atlantic about to scrape the coast of Venezuela so cindy is next on the list
