Good morning, lt.
Sorry, late in responding.
Truely got #s 1 & 4 correct.
But had to lucky guess on 7 & 8 and Crap.
#6 - Really? I was shocked!
Thanks. O.M. Gosh, it's friday already. Get ready for the weekend.
 
I was gone and didn't get around to doing this one. One little teeny correction though. Some Pacific hurricanes are called hurricanes (like in Mexico and Hawaii). I believe it is the southern hemisphere ones that are called typhoons.

BTW, all I would have gotten on this one are #s 1, 4, and maybe 8 if I had thought it out.
