I live in texas and we have a joke here - which goes- Don't like the weather? Hang around a day it will change. We have it all drought,with 50 mile an hour wind storms,Rain, with heavy humidity. The one constant is usually heat, and I use the word usually very loosley. Just because it is 32 at 8am does not mean it won't be 75 by 3pm

Just heard a blurb on the news the other day stateing that Fla. is at the top of the list for home repo`s. Oh and by the way, have`nt heard of any UFO sitings recently, but the aliens HAVE landed!!!! And "Mopar", they`re not palmetto bugs. They`re COCKROACHES!!!!!!!!! All silliness aside, although I reside in Fla. You could`nt pay me to live in most of the hubbles they`re throwing together down here. I`m still scratching my head wondering why anyone would construct a domicile of wood in a region infested with insects that have this material as their only food source. These are the same people that are building multimillion dollar houses on "marshes". Ya`ll know what marshes are. Most of the rest of the country call them swamps!!!!  The idiots building on the ocean are`nt any better. A small contingent of ocean front owners in Ponte Vedra want the state to pay to rejuvinate their erroded beach. I say, why should I pay for it. Sorry but you built on "SAND"!!!! Mother`s gonna take what`s hers. Sometimes with a vengence. Regarding the people coming in droves!! Be prepared for road rage, the traffic already SUCKS!!!! And there aint no relief in site!!!  RED HOT? Yeah all tempers!!

Its @ 8:20 PM and raining and windy  but I have seen\nworse but I am inland and not right on the coast line. \nI am more scared of being # 31 in answers more that the rain\noutside at the moment. Want to hear some deju vu ? I just answered  a later question about what time we like to come on\nanswers and I answered and I was # 31 and I disappeared again.\nHa ha LOL.   Talk about nightmares, your question is in my \nprofile Q and A but I am not on your screen. I hope yahoo fixes that problem , sooner the better.    Hey, if I don't catch up with you\nagain later on answers , then have a wonderful night.

My rant today is:  My family and my husbands family are each being stubborn about Thanksgiving and they have me in the middle of their fight.  I'm so sick of OJ; how can that SOB get away with continuing to throw his sickness in our faces.  Have you noticed the price of gas is going up again, the elections are over, next week is a holiday and OPEC and the US Oil companies have us by the balls. The Southern Baptist Convention consists of nothing but belligerent, elitist, bigoted, hypocrites.  \n\nThere, I'm feeling better, thank you for that.  :)

I live in New Orleans.  I am one of those other thousands of people that you are NOT hearing about; I found a place to live, I did not ask for more FEMA money.  It has been over 5 months since we all lost practically everything.  That's 5 months.  That's a lot of time to pull oneself together and get on with getting on.  Thousands of us did just that, but you aren't reading about us, are you?  I think it is right, and anyone still expecting FEMA to pay for a hotel room should be able to show FEMA proof why they would still need it.

I hope World War III does not start for a while.\n\nAs to the weather, I am probably one source for what this man is saying, although his predictions seem to be a concatenation of many possible disasters, from the History and Weather Channels,etc.\n\nI predicted the need to urgently prepare for hurricances far more devastating in February 2005 and sent the letter to Canada, Britaain, Australia, several LTU faculty, friends at former workplace, White House (1&2), TIME, NEWSWEEK, and a few other places.\n\nNo one paid any attention.  Then came Katrina and Rita.\n\nIn that letter I also predicted there would be new cyclones calling for categories 6 and 7.  Perhaps someone else did this as well, but so far I am the only one I know of.\n\nI stand by my predictions which are based on knowledge partially reflected in Nunitak's Weather Blog.\n\nYes, you have not seen anything yet.  If you want to lose $100 on a bet, let me know.  You can also watch Phoenix squirm under the heat.  Torrential rains, also predicted have been hitting both east and west coasts.  Devastating typhoons are in prospect with ships lost at sea with all crew gone.  These are but the beginnings....\n\nIf you want to know what we can do to mitigate global heating which leads to these calamities, you should check out my weather blog carefully.\n\nIn Florida, they have not yet received the wake up call from Hurricane Andrew, years ago.  They continue to build housing that will be blown to smithereens by coming hurricanes.  And when they rebuild the same way, it will happen again, and again....\n\nIf you think I am a wild 24 year old with big ideas, sorry.  I have 42 years of adult experience with a strong interest in weather, and have studied much other science.\n\nYou have seen only the beginning of flooding.  What is coming up with leave you believing, and the people affected will be staggered...\n\nMy predictions are based on solid science, I am not a 'psychic' though I do know some other things that help.\n\nIf we switch to flex-fuel cars fast, we will make a significant dent in global heating, CO2 emissions and pollution.\n\nAll previous articles in my blog apply to today.  It was started only this year.  There are copious weather references listed which others can learn to evaluate, or use to learn more about weather.\n\nThere is even more to this story, check it out at:\n\nhttp://360.yahoo.com/ki_te_moana\n\nI am not saying these things to frighten anyone, or to become famous.  Rather to help reduce global heating, to warn people, to enable them to understand what is going on, and to help them to prepare....if they can think.\n\nWe do not have ten years to start adapting.\n\nWe must start adapting NOW.

I would have to say that we need a break from the rain!!!  I live in the country (which I love) but have a dirt driveway.  I am really sick of walking through sticky mud everyday to get the mail!  I can't believe that it has been so cold and it's May.  I wonder what kind of summer we will have.  Keep your chin up and have a fun weekend!

I don't have an article, but I was listening to NPR last night, and the commentator was saying the evacuation was really bungled due to an organization and communication problem. No one took charge and said, hey I'm running the show, get 2000 buses and send them down, because no one felt they were in charge. FEMA, State & local police, National Guard, all were not sure what the other guys were doing and so waited for overall direction, which never really came.

I love to watch them on tv. I love a thunderstorm near my house. Never been in a tornado or hurricane but they look really scary on tv. I think I would be very scared if I had to go thru a tornado of hurricane. We had a tropical storm one time with winds up to 70 mph. It was awful and lasted all night. I was so worried about the trees crashing on my house. They didn't but the ones in the far back fell. The house shook.

Hey Blondey. You can find heaps of information just by using the Yahoo! search engine. Just type in "Hurricane Katrina".\n\nI just did a presentation on Katrina last week, myself. \n\nKatrina made landfall on Monday, August 29, 2005. It came ashore just east of Grand Isle, Louisiana, at 6:30 A.M. E.T. (eastern time). Katrina was a category 3 storm with 115 mph sustained winds on Saturday, Aug. 27th- but by Sunday, it had intensified to a Category 5 storm, with winds of 160 mph.\n\nThe president of the New Orleans city council estimated that more than 100 people in the city were stranded on their rooftops or in their attics, because there was up to 14 feet of floodwaters in and around their homes (reported by Dave Cohen of CBS radio affiliate WWL).\n\nSome facts that support the government response:\n\n1. Coast Guard, U.S. Navy, and other search and rescue units were in New Orleans or elsewhere in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama on Monday, after the storm passed out of the area. \n\n2. The full extent of the devastation to the Gulf Coast Region and the levee breaches in New Orleans were not known until Tuesday.\n\n3. A convoy of about 500 buses reached the Superdome late Wednesday.\n\n4. The first of 500 busloads of evacuees reached Houston early Thursday.\n\nThere was a lot of criticism towards the government's response to Katrina, as well. Do a little research, and you will find plenty of things to talk about. Good luck!

Honey, I feel you. I am from New Orleans and I know a lot of those people did not use their money properly and now they want to come back to live for free. I know there are people out there who did and are still doing what they need to be doing, I don't forget about them. I came back home and have been working my butt off to get my life back to normal, and people like the ones you talk about want it all just given to them.  Unfortunately a lot of New Orleans has worked like this for a long time and it's pretty sad, if this kind of thing happens again, my husband and I are outta here!!!!  I love New Orleans, I grew up here, I know when I have to draw the line.

There are alot of questions here so I'll try to answer them all.\n\n"When New Orleans was hit with the hurricane and wiped off the map, in my heart I felt I should give money to help the people. That was just common nature for a U. S. citizen to naturally do for our country or other country's around the world no mater what type of government they have in place." \n\nI feel two ways about this matter.  One is this Country gives to much monney to other Countrys and not enoth to this one.  But at the same time the people in Orleans where asked to leve and did not they had two weeks to pack up and leve but they did not.  What could we have done when so many people picked not to leve?\n\n"What I am concerned with is if the money I gave, got to a PERSON from that specific state or other country I sent the money to?"\n\nQuestion?  Who did you give you're money to?\nJust waching MSNBC and they said that there was alot of "fraud and abuse" that people where doing over there.  (check out url for more info.)  Makes you feel just a tad less sorry for these people.\n\n"Why is it that our government can't take responsibility and pay up, for there mistake in the first place. From what I have read, it was known that those levies could not hold a category 4 or 5 hurricane years or decades ago, but failed to strengthen them back when it was first discovered? \n\nI don't think any mistakes where made.  The truth is that  New Orleans is sinking as it stands now New Orleans is lower then sea level.  The reasons that thoes levies have not been fixed are one the cost is to grate for a city that is sinking and two they don't even know if it's posablem to fix them.  Even if they are fixed and we get another "Katrina" it's posable for this to happen again and again.  "IF" we do fix these levies we are putting peoples lives at risk.\n\n"Do you think it was rude of the two presidents to ask us to give more money when it is our nature to give, even until it hurts?"\n\nDo I think it's rude?  No, I don't.  \n\n"Did you help when 911 happened ?"\nYes, but I feel as if it was not enoth\n\n"or Live Aid?\nor Live8?"\n\nLive Aid, No.  Or Live8 don't know what that is.
