Fuck Nature.

And I agree about the city below sea level...what were they thinking?

Wow, how shit is it that they sent alot of the refugees to the Astrodome to escape New Orleans and now Houston is about to get pounded by a major hurricane.

are you guys aware that most of the netherlands is wayyyy below sea level??

Originally posted by DarkAngel Man, I'm watching CNN and they say that if Rita hits Galveston at CAT5, the city will be like, gone. Sunk. How fucked up is that? Scientists need to find a way to invent some kind of thing to disrupt hurricanes, like a molecular destabilizer, or some shit, because all these things are getting fuckin' ridiculous.

it'll hit as a 3. watch.

the water in the western part of the gulf is colder than the eastern side. thats why both katrina and rita have gained strength so quickly. it'll go down to a cat4 before landfall and then when the outer bands start hitting texas it'll go down to cat3 before the eye makes landfall.

it'll still be bad though.

Yes, most of the Netherlands is below sea level.
Like Amsterdam Schiphol Airport is almost 40 feet below sea level.
If the dyks will brake, almost the half of Holland will be under water.

That's why the Dutch government sent Dyk specialists to New Orleans, to build stronger ones.

Luckly I live in a part that is above sea level

fun little hurricane interactive thingy..

from hurricanes the past 2 years

This is a cycle that goes back in data to the 1920's to the 1960's.. it stopped, and now we are back on that cycle for some 20 more years. THe worst part is that this time around, during this cycle there's some players such as warmer waters and the Global Warming which are intensifying the nature of this Hurricanes. Nature OWNS us all, and we've been screwing around, and still are screwing around with it.. thinking that money will fix everything. But no.. the only preventive thing that we can do is.. probably start by helping with the Global Warming trend.. and be wise on to where people construct Cities. THe NEw Orleans accident has been waiting to happen for some time, it was predicted long time ago.... so its no surprise. Sea level WILL rise because of the Melting Polar Ice Caps. And we in South Florida HAVE to be paying attention to it.. No one gives a flying fuck right now, but remember that.

Totally agree with you man, but this administration(Bush) wont do anything about it, this is a controversial issue, hopefully when the next admin comes they can take action towards global warming.

While global warming is a long term concern, its current influence on hurricanes is minimal.
Shit happens, mother nature is constantly challenging us, we're just getting unlucky the past couple years. What we need to deal with more immediately is this damn gas problem, you ready for $5 a gallon??

hehe but not for long Jordy

last night I saw this hurricane was a cat 5 and headed straight for Texas and will most likely flood New Orleans again, worse now that the levys are down. I can't even imagine the horror these people are going through.

I have to disagree with you on this one. Hurricanes are something we can not control nor get rid of, but we are helping it with warmer ocean waters which causes such catosrophic storms like Katrina and now Rita. Global Warming is an issue we must deal with ASAP! Coming up with alternate solutions besides gas will in turn help out the environment and obviously our wallets. $5 a gallon for gas is gonna really suck HOWEVER it may be a good thing. It may serve as a wake up call that we must finally come up with another way for our energy source.

Yes not for long.
Than I have to get used to the situations in Florida.
Hurricane season will be totally new for me.
I think you get used to it.
