The funny thing is, I live in the middle of a desert ;)
Anyway, it will be a depression by the time it gets to Arizona, we will still get lots of rain though.
Hooray! Lots of rain!

Otis .... OTIS?!
What a stupid name for a hurricane. Can you imagine Otis ... OTIS ... coming in and wiping out a major city? Otis sounds like he should be sittin' barefoot on the porch, pickin' a banjo.
Otis ....
We really need a better naming system.
Like ... Gorlak, Destroyer of Men ... or Merthanlia, Flooder of Streets ....
Otis ...
*shakes head*

They should name hurricanes after famous historical figures.
Alas for politcal correctness, Attila the Hurricane will never wreak havoc on California. Although they could include Gorlak, as long as Cohen gets in as well.
I can see it now...
Weatherman: And off the west coast HURRICANE GORLAK, DESTROYER OF MEN AND DEVOURER OF CIVILZATION! is moving in a direct path towards Florida...

Agreed. But..We got hit by Rita, man. Bloody gods awful name, that. Rita.
When's the last time your desert got lots of rain? And did anything float away? If so, buy a boat. You may look the fool now, but you'll feel great as you float on by!

It will only be rain in Arizona, you will live. Arizona needs rain, it just a dry desert.

Actually, we have this thing called a 'monsoon', where it rains quite alot for about a quarter of the year, where do you think cacti come from? They just suck water out of the ground?
Considering our water table is somehwere around 200 feet underground, I dont think so ;)
You would be suprised, Arizona was (about thirty years ago) not so deserty, there was an earthquake at some point and that apparently messed the bedrock up resulting in our groundwater going bye-bye.
I mean, think about it, this is cattle country. Cows dont like cactus or mesquite very much, and thats just about all that grows here.

That's right, get hit by a Hurricane! It's not fun getting hit by them over and over and over and over and over and over and over. Bah, anyway, at least it'll be rain. So you're blessed for that :P
