 maybe from that huge tsunami... my mom said the earthquake heated up the water, causing it to evaporate, causing a ton of rain everywhere... Gaaaaahhh... There were people with little kids on the rooftops even though the weather guys said to evacuate. >_< |

They said that this AMO thing is a natural weather pattern, like El Niño and La Niña, which also have a say in what hurricanes can do...

I really don't know. Tomorrow I might do a little bit of research on it. I'll let y'all know when I've figured it [AMO] out.

Let's try to surf the net for things that might be able to solve this problem...somehow. And it's just a thought.

Oh...whew. I was worried. Talking about gas prices, isn't there some sort of solar car I heard coming out? I think I saw the prototype in a carnival of sort. Seems too good to be true. you sure it was solar? I thought the big thing was fuel cell cars. |

For what I have read from these topics after from my disappearance, wow, you guys miss me, and yes, New Orleans was devastated, people lost homes, floods in homes, and now, they got diseases from dirty water. They are told to be evacuated as it's still went on.

They were told to evacuate, though. I don't see why they didn't follow orders. It's only that bad because they decided they weren't going to listen to the weather guys and take shelter in that Dome or leave.

Heads up, hurricane is out there, only like 60 mphs away from Florida, might be a threat to here again, as it says in a week, it may turn around agaain to hit us, it's a category 1 so far. Or it will go up to South Carolina and into few states.  Actually, well, my predictions can't be wrong all the time. Just found out that hurricane has been weakened to tropical storm, but the coastline of North Carolina to evacuate. |

I just picked out hurricane center on Ch 4, hurricane warning was advised on Southern Florida, Tropical Storm Rita is underway. Preparing is a must for all people who live in Florida. Here's the map:  There you go, and more information is coming soon. Oh and there will schools closed tomorrow in Broward County, but not sure of Dade County. So heads up! Update: It is starting to strengthen, becoming a hurricane category 1! Stay tuned. |

We're on the "R's" already?! Dang, this has been one heck of a hurricane season!
EDIT: Let's hope Rita doesn't slow the efforts of cleaning up Katrina's mess...

UPDATE!!!
Rita is now a Categora 5 hurricane, and is currently the fifth most intense storm ever on record in the Atlantic basin. Winds are up to 165 mph, and the barometric pressure has dropped to 904 mb. Landfall is possible late Friday or early Saturday along the Texas coast. Anyone from the Gulf Coast in Texas along with people in the Houston area and anywhere else in the vicinity, be prepared for the landfall of a major hurricane.

Also, they were told to border up, and evacuate ASAP! Yes, we don't want a repeat of Katrina. Rita has been downgraded to a Category 4, but it's still very dangerous, and you would be crazy to stay behind; you know what happened with Katrina. |

Also, the southeastern coastline of Texas and the southwestern coastline of Lousiana is very prone for massive flooding if there is high surge (which they forecast should go as high as 15-20 feet; keep in mind that storm surge is the deadliest and costliest part of the hurricane).
JUST BREAKING UPDATE
Rita has been downgraded to a Category 3, but you shouldn't be worried about that; this is still a very dangerous hurricane, and it is also very massive.
