Man, I'm watching CNN and they say that if Rita hits Galveston at CAT5, the city will be like, gone. Sunk. How ed up is that? Scientists need to find a way to invent some kind of thing to disrupt hurricanes, like a molecular destabilizer, or some , because all these things are getting in' ridiculous. |
Yeaaaaaaa... and up the planets homeostasis? Riiight. You have to let nature take its course. But I do know how to avoid these kinds of tragedys...
Dont build cities in areas that are below sea level! |

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 |

| 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 right now, but remember that. |
