A new hurricane threat is hovering over the US again, this time tropical storm Rita, which was nearing hurricane strength over the Bahamas and is expected to reach the US Gulf Coast by the weekend - less than a month after the unprecedented devastation of Hurricane Katrina. Rita is expected to concentrate its fury on Louisiana, or head further west toward Texas. The storm was headed late Monday toward the Bahamas, with peak sustained winds near 115 km an hour. Rita is expected to strengthen by Wednesday to hurricane force. It would be the season's ninth hurricane and is already the 18th named storm.
Meanwhile, Hurricane Philippe was east of the Leeward Islands in the eastern Caribbean on Monday and moving north-northwest.

Ramesh bhai, have you ever heard of the term "aavadhum pennale, azhivathum pennale" (it happens becauze of girls and it destroys because of girls) Yuk, I know the translation sucks...
But I believe the US is being hit by two hurricanes named after ladies... is there a coincidence?? :-)

Maybe I can help you with the Translation, "Good happens 'coz of female and Bad get destroyed 'coz of female".
But you know the one who coined this phrase and who have coined the term for hurricanes was only a male.
In both the places females are just silent players!
