Who will win? Brett Favre or the hurricane?

Settled as No, Kiln, Mississippi survives another season

Kiln is still a thriving community, unscathed by any 2009 tropical cyclones...

Background:

Background: In the last week there seems to have been a spike in the number of Hubdub questions created concerning Brett Favre... and the number of questions related to hurricanes.

This market is a perfect storm (sorry, for the bad pun) of those two topics.

Brett Favre's hometown, Kiln, Mississippi lies on the Gulf of Mexico. The hometown of the serial retiree was damaged by Hurricane Katrina.

What are the odds that Mother Nature will sack Favre again in 2009?

Will any homes, businesses, or public buildings in Kiln, MS suffer hurricane related damage before December 1, 2009?

Settlement details:As reported by a major mainstream news source.
