Hurricane Season 2012

The orginal Columbus Best Blog was started during ‘Hurricane Katrina’ in 2005.  The site is still up.  Sometimes I play with it a bit.  The original Columbus Best Blog’s url is http://www.realtown.com/Maureen/blog/archive   I don’t believe there is any mention of Hurrican Katrina on it back in August 2005. I was watching in horror on TV and online what was going on in the Gulf of Mexico.  I started blogging in part to not look at Hurricane Katrina.

This site is not named Columbus Best Blog, this site is called ColumbusBestBlog.com I changed the name of the RealTown site to Discover Columbus when I stole the name when this site was launched.

The 2012 Hurricane names are the same as 2006 names?  Unless there was a devastating 2006 storm and then that name would be retired? I heard that somewhere.  There will never be another Katrina.

Columbus is not affected by hurricanes… well usually.  Remember Hurricane Ike coming through in September 2008?  Our storm with 75 mile an hour winds?   orthington Schools Open Again  after Hurricane Ike came through on a Sunday afternoon.  In Columbus Hurricane Ike knocked out electricity, knocked down trees.  Ike was all wind when it hit central Ohio.
