Background:
Gustav is the 7th Hurricane of the year, (I know, currently it's a tropical storm, but will likely return to Hurricane strength after crossing Cuba) so we are 1/3 the way through the list of names allocated for 2008.
Linkage can be made between the names of the 2008 Hurricanes and the various HD categories of; Politics, Sports, Entertainment, World, Business, Technology, Science and General. See http://www.hubdub.com/m14496.
How many named Hurricanes will have crossed a US beach or border by 11/30/08?
To qualify the Hurricane will need to have sustained winds of 75mph or more at the time that it cross a US beach or border.
