My question is despite the fact that it could still be considered late hurricane season, I am wondering why are these hurricanes happenining one after another. I now am nervous how many hurricanes there will be this year.

Global warming, it causes the waters out at sea to heat up and that's the main driving force of a hurricane; hot water.

Yeah now try and say there's no such thing as global warming.

Well I knew Global Warming, however I have a theory of other factors.

Rita wasn't as bad here in Florida as Karina was but it will be as it was mentioned all over the news on Texas. We just got a day off on Tuesday for all Miami Dade and Broward counties, and mostly a full day of raining, luckly my house nothing happened. All that happened here was rain showers, but when Katrina hit us, we lost power for a week. And we got about like 6 inches of flood around in broward. What I did hate were the high gas prices which I payed $40 to fill almost a full tank, and now it seems the same thing is going tohappen.
What these hurricanes bring to FLorida, which me and all my pals are happy about the day before are the waves, on Katrina we got from 9 to 15 feet waves which never happens, and with Rita it was up to 11 but pure plain since we couldn't surf. We had these local police or w/e come to us and said it wasn't safe to surf, and we ignored them, then a while after a truck coems to us sayig he's towing our cars and we all ran to it.
I guess I'm used to all these hurricanes, I had Ivan, Frances, and Charlie i think last year... and i got mad since my homecoming got postponed cause of it.

Yeah this is serious i hope everything will turn out okay
I am personally sticking it out here in Houston. Other staff members have evacuated already to ensure they will be able to handle our support desk.

I have decided that some of the staffers here are corrupt, some of the members ain't much better (btw, I know whom is giving me all the bad rep points) and this isn't the place I need to be. I will only lurk around until those few times my assistance will be needed. Good day. You can find me at Resource Zone as well as my other fora if you need to talk to me immediately.

I rather think about hurricane than gas prices.Anyways,today it lowered to a Category 3.Good grief,but still not safe.
I agree and disagree with you. I care about the people more then the gas, but given the current oil crisis I think it is important, but not as imporatant as the people.

I know that it lowered to Category 3(I know it because I've been watching the Weather Channel all day) and it's going to have a direct hit on Port Arthur, Texas. Poor people there, they're right in the middle of it. :(

The names are automatically picked from the beginning of the hurricane season. For example: Let's say Hurricane Dan just faded and then a Tropical Depression forms. Then the tropical depression strengthens and then it becomes a tropical storm. If Dan was used already, then they would go to the next name on the list. If it's Ethan, then they'll call the tropical storm Tropical Storn Ethan.

That's how the names work.

Fortunately, the only damage at my house was the fence

EDIT: I have some rita pics


Walmart was all closed down - Bad time to buy AA Batteries


The Everyone's Internet Datacenter


My temporary command center at home - had ICQ, MSN, AIM and Yahoo! running. Wish I had Trillian set up here though.


LOBD, Inc. Fortress - Yep, everyone boarded everything down
