    I love that this is an American jet but they still have a flag of Puerto Rico as if it’s a separate country.

    Nice bit of irony there.

        At least they’re consistent.

        But I’d say they should probably all be independent too.

Hurricane season starts Wednesday, June 1, 2022, and it’s looking busy because every factor out there is pointing to another nasty year in the Atlantic. (AP Photo/Gemunu Amarasinghe)

      Might genuinely indicate the circulation direction of the hurricanes. Due to the Coriolis effect, hurricanes on the northern hemisphere spin counterclockwise and on the southern hemisphere clockwise.

      So, maybe they only took part in one hurricane season in the South or something…
