Yeah no kidding. I'm making this post, and getting the F outta here. Headed to Clinton, and you?

There have been approximately 1 billions hurricanes that were supposed to go straight up the Mississippi and destory NO. None have, and I'm holding to the belief none will.

So long as those 100 year old pumps keep working.

As Ed's folks and my in-laws live there, we're all hoping for the best.

I hope you're right. But it doesn't look good, and I'm packing to leave.

Lastest radio reports say you're going to be on I-10 until it floods... I would leave right now if i were you.

I'm posting this from a holiday inn express. Ohhhh yeah.

You know how hurricanes got bad all of the sudden?

Well expect them to get worse

okay maybe I'm misremembering or heard wrong. without even reading your link, I know increasing ocean temperatures should be bad for storms. but still I remember being surprized just a few weeks ago when a neutral and informed news source mentioned that all these hurricanes were an expected cycle in the pattern independent of GW [kind of a pun...].

No, warm ocean is the very fuel hurricanes feed off of.

Reporters and science do not mix well. If you want a good source of information on this there is nothing better than NOAA. BTW, there is an independent cycle, but climate change will increase storm activity.
