Hurricane Katrina has entered the gulf of Mexico, after crossing Florida killing 4, it's winds are now up to 100mph, making Katrina a Cat.2 storm. Rapid Strengthening is expected. As another Major hurricane gets ready to pound the SouthEast again.

There is another one AFTER Katrina? Man.
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

Go, back and find Video of Frances. Or go back and find video of last night, when this thing came ashore with 80mph winds.

You really can't compare Tornado winds to Hurricane winds.

Hurricane Katrina is a Major Hurricane with winds of 115mph, NHC's track has Katrina hitting New Orleans sometime in the time frame of late Monday/Early Tuesday as a Cat.4 with winds over 140mph, Cat.5 is possible!

If the Hurricane takes the right track, a storm surge over 16 feet will flood over most of the area. And Evacuations have started. Allthough the track it not certain.

Well, it's normally not this terrible, and people have to live somewhere, but weather conditions across the globe are gradually changing, it's a measurable, detectable shift now. One of the Earths polar ice caps actually dissapears during the summer now, theres nothing but water there.
Something is changing, I don't know whether humanity is influencing that change or not, but I have a bad suspicions things are going to get worse before we have answers.

Take your pick...

• Seasonal hurricanes in costal regions.
• Psychotic heat and forest fires in the Western US
• Tornados in the midwest US.
• Bitter, bitter cold and pounding (read: 'lake-effect' for the Northern US) snows to the 'extreme' north and south.
• Sandstorms in the middle east.
• Plague in Africa.
• Hole in the O-zone over Australia.

Seriously, it doesn't matter where you live because every locality has its own set of natural disasters to worry about.  Of course, since a lot of those natural disasters happen on a seasonal basis, the real solution is to be nomadic.  Food that isn't hunted is overrated anyway, right?  ;)

Please don't hit New Orleans. My jazz band was thinking of taking a trip down there this year.
Wash: This landing's gonna get pretty interesting.
Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: *shrug* "Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die"?
Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

If this hits New Orleans as a Cat.4 in the right way you can say goodbye, I just hope everybody down there is taking this seriously.:doubt:

Here in Britain, we have fairly mediocre bad weather the whole time.

Like having tropical weather kind of averaged out over the whole year, really.

Katrina has reached Cat.5 with winds greater than 160mph, central pressure is down to 908 millbars making Katrina one of the strongest Hurricanes ever recorded in the Atlantic.:eek:
