That’s right, as the great Jimmy Buffet titled his song, the same goes for the climate in CityPixel. As folks around the globe are preparing for the heavy hurricane season, just ask those in Jamaica about Hurricane Dean: http://apnews.myway.com/article/20070819/D8R43I500.htm, citizens of PixelYork can rest assure that they will always have great weather. Sunny, blue skies, what more can you ask for?
With the financial markets already in flux the last few weeks, the US can’t afford another incident like Katrina. Lets hope for the best and wish that this will be a calm hurricane season this year. As for the volatility in the stock exchange recently, the housing market seems to be crashing in the US, but remember CityPixel continues to offer FREE properties in either an Apartment or an Office Cube, with 0% interest (duh, it’s free)! You can’t beat that, can you? Plus you are able to design to your liking with free furniture and if you really want to get fancy, pick up some premium furniture with your ‘Pixels’! Grab some space now before it runs out. And lookout for new types of “properties” you can own in the future!
Lastly earn some more pixels by answering this hurricane related trivia question. First three to email me correctly wins.

Please give me the history of naming hurricanes. When did this begin, how were names chosen, was it always done this way, etc.?
Good luck!

Originally hurricanes were named after the birthdays of saints who were closest to the day the hurricane hit. Then for a while latitude and longitude coordinates were used, but they were hard to use in communication, so in World War II they began using women’s names exclusively to name hurricanes. Around thirty years later this practice stopped when they started using the names of both genders.
Hurricanes that have a significant number of casualties or damage usually get permanently removed to the list.
I did a report on hurricanes. =P
Oh, and I hope I put this in the right spot.
