Lol, I was just talking about this the other night.

I wonder if they will just keep getting womped over and over like last year? lol

Personaly If 1 hurricain came within about 50-100 miles of my house I would move. Some of these people have been hit by several of them yet they continue to rebuild and cry when their houses get blown over. Might as well just build your house right over a fault line and then ***** when it gets swallowed by a earthquake

Ha, that's funny you posted that. I'm In Pensacola right now, and they decided to evacuate the base. So, I'll be making a trip home to good 'ol New Berlin tomorrow to get away from this damn hurricane. They're ganna call us back whenever the storm is over, they're expecting it to be tue or wed. Maybe later if the base looses power. Thank God for renters insurance! Maybe I'll even see some of you guys around this weekend! :headbang

People in Florida need to begin building houses out of concrete. It is cheaper, stronger, and resists termites.


When I go to school down south, I plan on looking for a concrete house to live in. None of this wooden crap. And when a storm comes, I staying put and riding it out like I did for Andrew.

Ha, that's great! In the place I live now, there are a bunch of older women (who I refer to as the Golden Girls) who are still trying to settle their insureance from Ivan. They stand to make A LOT of $. They say that a lot of their friends got ripped off by construction workers (just left town with their $) after Ivan, and they are on waiting lists to have their homes rebuilt. They expect it to be a few years still. Yea, there is a HUGE demand for GOOD contractors down here, but the hard part is finding a place to live. A lot of contractors live in their trucks, and migrant workers a dime a dozen. The last thing this place needs is another hurricane. I'm packing some important Marine Corps papers, my laptop, a few sets of clothes and my gun in my car and "making like a bread truck, and haul'n buns" ass soon as I get my car back from the shop. Getting an alingment and tires ballanced. i should be home sometime around 2-4am. :headbang

No, they decided to evacuate yesterday but we had to hang around until this morning incase we needed more sandbags, and whatnot. We're able to leave as of 0800 this morning. I just need to call in everyday to muster @0645 with my Gunny. They're expecting to call us back tue or wed. Last time this happened, the base lost power for 4 days and everyone was home for 8 days. Free leave, can't complane. I'm just waiting for my alingment to get done, then it's off to WI.

I got home safe, it was a good trip. They shut down I-65 south-bound and turned it into a north lane. It was pretty damn cool to cruise at 110 for a few hours on the wrong side of the interstate. No cops at all, they were sitting at the on ramps making sure no one got on headed south! It rocked. There wasn't a lot of traffic on the "wrong side" either, I guess people were afraid to drive over there!

On a side note about your ride, a few guys on the L forums were putting their trucks deep in the middle of the 2nd or 3rd floor of parking garages during the big hurricanes. they were virutally empty when the storm was coming since businesses shut down and people leave, plus there's virutally no chance of flood damage that high, and debris really won't whip through there like out in the open.

But then again with enough wind they could collapse (evil laugh) :goof

What I noticed yesterday is that the northernmost portion of Katrina was visible in Glendale. In fact, I was telling my coworkers that we would be able to see a part of it before sunset. Sure enough, around 7pm, we looked to the south and saw some high altittude cirrus clouds evident of the strong upper atmosphere outflow due to the hurrican.

My prediction was perfect! Around 5:15, I said that we would be able to see it before dusk. Some of the people thought I was nutz and probably incorrect because the weathermen are usually a bit off.

Here is the pic from the weather channel. Despite the 50 distance from Glendale to the IL/WI border, great visibility made it possible.

Some quotes from the above news story.

Water pressure was falling and many of the Superdome's toilets were clogged. That, combined with the lack of air conditioning, contributed to rising heat, humidity and stench.

Many of the refugees moved their bedding to the exterior concourse, preferring the scorching sun and the mosquitos at night to the interior funkiness.
Anthony "Bud" Williams, 32, of Brisbane, Australia, and two companions took it on themselves to round up foreigners in the crowd.

"We looked for anyone with a big backpack," he said. "It's mostly people backpacking around."

They found people from 63 countries, made a list and hoped someone could contact embassies so families could be notified they were safe.

"Except all the people from Australia request their embassy to send beer :headbang ," he said.

When the computer models showed Maestri what would happen next, he wrote big letters on the map, all in capitals.

"KYAGB—kiss your ass good bye," reads Maestri.

"Because," says Maestri, "anyone who was here when that storm came across was gone—it was body-bag time. We think 40,000 people could lose their lives in the metropolitan area."

Two areas of low pressure with some thunderstorms around it continues to spin westward over the eastern Atlantic Ocean. These systems have the potential for development, but they are well away from any land areas.

Hmm, goes to follow last year though. Things just started winding up at the end of august.

Actually that has bothered me for a long time... that they get to call their big storms "super typhoons" and we only get "major hurricane". It just sounds so much better. Why can't it be something better like "supreme" or "ultra" hurricane? You know something to strike fear in people so that maybe they'll actually evacuate when ordered to.

I think the article also says something about the average citizen's ability to think, understand, and act for themself. (Or Lack Thereof...)

Most hurricanes begin as "easterly waves" coming off of Africa. They are a combination of factors in one phenomena with the effect of coriolus being the most influential.

Unlike the midlattitude syclones we see here in the northern US, the easterly wave does not require a major temerature gradient at the surface to develope into a strong system. Instead, the easterly wave relies on the humid air at the surface of the ocean and the adiabatic temperature decrease with altitude.

When a parcel of the humid air at the surface rises, it begins to cool due to the decreasing barometric pressure. As long as the air is not saturated with moisture, the temperature of the parcel decreases at the "dry adiabatic rate (DAR)," which is about 5.5 deg C/1000 meters. As the parcel rises and cools, the water vapor-holding ability of the air decreases.

At a specific altitude, the air will become saturated and clouds will form due to condensation. The actual process of condensation releases heat. This heat release counteracts the heat loss due to the DAR. For every 1000 meters of altitude, the condensation releases enough heat energy to lower the DAR to 4 deg C/ 1000 meters. This lower rate is known as the "Moist Adiabatic Rate (MAR)."

The significance of the MAR is that it keeps the convecting air warmer than its surroundings. As we all know, hot air rises. The now saturated parcel of air can now accelerate upward due to its new heat energy. Add a twist to the system due to coriolus, and a hurricane can form. This operates on physics similar to a toilet being flushed.


Easterly waves occur on a regular basis at a frequency of once every few days to a week. The formation of storms is normal for the Atlantic, but the easterly waves give the storms the spin to become a hurricane.

Why do I get the idea that you're talking about me! :banana

But really, I didnt' leave this time because it was forcasted to be at least 80 miles away from Pensacola, which it was. It wasn't bad here at all. If I thought it was going to be, I would have gotten the hell out of dodge, just like I have the feelinig I'm going to need to do in the next few months again. I keep hearing stories about people who tried to get out of town before the storm hit, but the roads were so backed up there was nothing they could do but ride the storm out. While I do think it would be exiting to do, no one wants to be fighting for their life when they don't need to be.

If I could do that in that terrain, some of these damn people could start using their feet and getting the fvck out of dodge even at 5 miles a day... it would sure as hell beat getting beat up, raped, killed, infected with sh!t, or flat out starving/dehydrating in the streets of the city. And hell if you're walking alone on the highway you might get lucky enough for someone to pick your ass up. Certainly more lucky than trying to catch a bus around thousands of people clawing their way on, and you're bound to get past the floods at some point even on foot.

Residents began streaming back Monday as part of a plan by the mayor to reopen New Orleans one neighborhood at a time, despite repeated warnings from the top federal official on the scene — and President Bush himself — that the city is unsafe. Mayor Ray Nagin, under mounting pressure to rescind his decision to let people in, defended the move and complained that the federal official in charge in New Orleans, Coast Guard Vice Adm. Thad Allen, had made himself "the new crowned federal mayor of New Orleans."

... "The impoverished neighborhood was one of the areas of the city hit hardest by Katrina's floodwaters and finally had been pumped dry before Hurricane Rita struck."

Can't drill for oil because it might upset some Caribou, can't build anymore refineries, can't drill for natural gas even though it's the energy source most envirofags prefer for electric power, can't mine for coal, can't damn up rivers for hydro-electrics, can't put up wind farms because it might block the view of some limousine liberals, can't put up Nuke plants because of the spent fuel rods, blah, blah, blah, ad nauseam. I'd like to drive a goddamn '67 rot-box Impala with a 900 inch Big Block burning C-18 leaded race gas with an fuel-air ratio of 4:1 right through Teddy Kennedy's, John Kerry's, and most especially, Al Gore's living rooms, flicking cigarette butts, empty beer bottles and McDonald's wrappers out the window for good measure. Fargin ice-hole, tree huggin', hippy cork-suckers... :flipoff2: :chair: :punch:

I beleive that we have at the military a document that states that one of the tree hugging groups beat the laws and won to not re-built the Levies(sp) to withstand a Cat 5 because of the algy buildup currently on it is feeding the fish and wildlife.

The envirofreaks contend that the oil companies are the reason most of the natural hurricane barrier wetlands are gone...

NO, IT'S BECAUSE A BUNCH OF HIPPY FREAKS WANTED TO BUILD LEVEES TO PREVENT THE AREA FROM FLOODING EVERY YEAR IN THE SPRING.

1.) BE this guy: http://hosted.ap.org/photos/L/LADM10908301723-small.jpg

Wear a set of waders, fill them up with water, and carry a bucket of heinekin.

2.) Be the 'cane: Dress all in white, put cotton wisks all over yourself and carry a big ass fan or leaf blower and a spray bottle and hit people with the wrath of the cane

3.) Be a symbol: Get an aaron brooks saints jersey, and paddle your way around the party with a boat around your waist

4.) Be a looting policeman: Dress up as a policeman, and carry around a load of bluejeans

5.) Be destruction: Bring a dollhouse, submerge it in a kiddie pool, stand on it.

MIAMI - Tropical Storm Tammy formed just off Florida's east coast Wednesday and was expected to bring heavy rain to northern Florida and parts of Georgia and the Carolinas later in the day.

Heh, too bad she formed so close to the coast, no time to gather her strength first.

Heh, beware of the lady 'canes this year I guess eh?

"Well guys, there's a 5% change it'll hit some of our refineries, let's raise prices by 10 cents just incase. Looks like I'm buying a new beemer" :fire Not true. It's not for "NO REASON". I have noticed gasoline at 2.69 most places now. And oil is coming down. Check this out (news from this morning):


NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Fresh signs that Tropical Storm Wilma wouldn't make its way into the oil and natural gas producing regions of the Gulf of Mexico led to a sell off in oil stocks Tuesday.

The Amex Oil Index dropped 0.8% to 973.53 points, the Amex Natural Gas Index fell 0.6% to 388.80 points, and the Philadelphia Oil Service Index shed 0.2% to 160.65 points.

Investors bid up oil stocks on Monday on fears that Wilma would enter the central Gulf and shut down production, just as Hurricanes Katrina and Rita did.

On the New York Mercantile Exchange, crude oil for November delivery dropped 60 cents to $63.76 a barrel. Natural gas for November delivery lost 2.8%, or 38.7 cents, to $13.50 per million British thermal units. [...]

Someone also sold 24.5 million shares of Exxon Mobil on the open market today.. that's 1.5 Billion dollars worth :stare My guess is they felt they made enough money and oil may turn down soon?

NAPLES, Fla. - Hurricane Wilma plowed into southwest Florida early Monday with howling 125 mph winds and dashed across the state to the Miami-Fort Lauderdale area, blowing out windows in skyscrapers, peeling away roofs and knocking out power to millions of people. At least one death in Florida was blamed on the storm. The same storm that brought ruin over the weekend to resort towns along Mexico's Yucatan Coast came ashore in Florida as a strong Category 3 hurricane, but within hours had weakened into a Category 2 with winds of 105 mph. Early in the afternoon, it was back up to Category 3 with 115 mph winds as it swirled out into the open Atlantic on a course that was unlikely to affect the East Coast.
