God, I've lived here since 1989, and never has this happened--being hit over and over by hurricanes like this, and in a FIVE WEEK PERIOD!

And it's gonna go over our COUNTY again. 3 of the Hurricanes have gone over our county where we are (Lucky, we had no damage at all) but what they hell are the odds of THAT?! 1 in a billion?!

Anyway, expect power to maybe go out somewhere between Sunday 12PM EST -5GMT through Monday. We lucked out last time and our power didn't even go out, so if we are down, you know the power is out.

If we get anymore, we are leaving Florida. This is crazy. Moving back to Louisville, Ky damnit! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Something is defiantly changing with our weather on this planet.. France having a Tornado, us with this crazy hurricane crap... Ice shelves the size of Rhode Island falling into the Ocean last year...

The Quickening!

Well so many things to blame for this thing, Global warming...the seas getting warmer(naturally apparently)

Guess if next year gets bad we see what happens

Yeah, I've been finding this hurricane season to be a bit odd. I don't think this has ever happened before. Well, it can't get any worse can it?

Actually it's not totally unheard of, but is somewhat rare. We are not having more storms now than before. There were peak storms in the 50's and 70's.
Global warming ( a farce) wouldn't cause more storms but actually less storms. Think El Nino.

I'll go into a couple of things. It would take too much space and time to fully develop the argument.
1. In most cases the climatologist can't even tell you what the weather is going to be next week much thirty years out.
2. We are and have been, in the past few years, in a solar maximum. Mr Sun is doing the heating not you in your Toyota or SUV.
3. These climate changes have been going on for eons, long before man, and will go on long after man.
