Santo Domingo.- The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) predicts as many as 15 named storms during the Atlantic hurricane season, but noted that the effects of the Pacific Ocean La Niña could keep the figure to a low of nine.
In a statement issued 9am EST, NOAA said as many as 11 of the named storms could reach hurricane strength, and predicts that two will become major hurricanes.
In a related development the Miami based National Hurricane Center said Hurricane Bud is still churning west of Mexico as a category 2 storm.


What are their names?
The First one was hurricane HIPPO and we were saved by Lopez Nieto !!
The interesting thing is that with all the PURPLE Clapping Seal Geniuses Like Atabey that live in New York (The BIG One) and New Jersey were the largest Dominican Communities live outside of DR, the PLD lost?
Not only did they lose but went done form numbers in 60% range to numbers in the 40% range?
Now that has the Making of a Storm and a lot of People like Atabey are at risk of losing their BOTELLAS!
Well DUH! The Dominican Community is well known in those areas for being huge Moochers off the more productive members of society. The true Entitlement Class with huge amounts of Welfare fraud.. Just like the PRD.
Again like you defended IKEA from your almost always knee jerk reaction of pulling facts out of your rectum, later to be humiliated, like when it was exposed IKEA was hiring Cuban Slave Labor to make your Red Sofa with Hammers and Sickles as decorations.
You now label a whole community with a racist stereotype.
You apparently have no idea of the significant entrepreneurial presence of the Dominican Community in these two states in small and medium businesses.
So ALPHA 66 go back to dreaming about being a Wrist-watch saleman!
Show me where I "label a whole community with a racist stereotype."
Show me!
I dare you!
BTW Did you know the largest group of Welfare moochers and cheats are White? And i hate them also.
Basta have a Blunt with that Chanti.
Josey,
Back in the late 1990s when I got into real-estate, I hired a person to do some work for me and it turned out that he had recently lost his house in DR- mortgage to the campaign defeat of Pena Gomez in 1996. I had up to that point never heard of someone, a low level Party member, putting up their own home to help finance a campaign. I thought the idea crazy. When the Hippo won this guy didn't get the return he had expected back in 1996. NYC has had a growing population of PRD members since that electoral defeat and especially since 2004, the last time the party handed power back to the PLD. It doesn't surprise me that over the next 4 years even more will jump ship and head up north or to Florida.
Four more years in the wilderness and the thirst only gets worst. And come 2016, Llegó Mamá might be the ringing slogan of victory.
DR just dodged a Massive 2012 HURRICANE CALLED:
HURRICANE HIPPO and that's all that counts.
All very interesting comments about the hurricanes predicted for this year??!!!
Well one started the tread on topic....
