Dear TFK...

That was quite a storm ["Isabel Comes Storming In!" 9/26]! I'm glad that scientists were able to improve storm tracking before Isabel hit. But I am surprised that Hurricane Hunters have to fly into a wild, windy storm in order to measure it.

You made a mistake last week [Top 5 Hurricane States, 9/26]. You said that 166 hurricanes hit, but the numbers add up to 164.

You are correct! Louisiana was hit by 27 hurricanes rather than 25. Thanks for catching that.

The WUSA should continue to play ["A Loss for Women's Soccer," 9/26]. After all, soccer is the most popular sport in the world. It was great for women, because there aren't many women's sports leagues out there. I play soccer, and my teammates and I need role models to look up to.

I can't even imagine a guinea pig that weighs 1,500 pounds ["An Overgrown Guinea Pig," 9/26]. I sure am glad they're extinct, or I would never go outside!
