Natural cycle?

Yours truly has dodged another bullet. Not that I feel bulletproof, mind you, as there's still plenty of time left in hurricane season this year, and potentially progressively stronger (triple adjective - woo!) tropical storms in the years to come.

Natural cycle, human self-destruction, or a combination of both? I suspect the latter. Everything we're doing to reduce our planet to a toxic wasteland is certainly not helping, except to return it to the primordial soup that existed before we came along. I guess you could call that a natural cycle.
