    It'd be interesting if it looped the loop and divebombed England instead. We haven't had a hurricane for 11 months..

      Looks like it could hit the Carolinas/Georgia mid-next week - and a Cat. 5 is just plain scary

      Of course there is this scary hurricane with the nicely defined eye right in the middle ..... *hides*

      I wonder if anyone has ever ridden out a hurricane by just travelling with it inside the eye..

          Current movement is 10mph or 16kph. It's probably going to speed up. They do that as they head North.

            It's heading right for North Carolina and D.C. I'm surprised Bush administration hasn't spun this hurricane as an Al-Qaeda plot yet and asked for more $$ in defense spending...

              Well, it's dropped down to a cat 3 storm, but most of the damage from hurricanes comes from rain-flooding, not winds and storm surge.

              At least we can be sure that despite what does happen, FEMA will be right on top of it. The last Bush's election chances were hurt by Andrew.

                Of what I've heard, FEMA is having problems because its budget was cut to fund military campaigns, and because much of the National Guard's construction equipment is in Iraq.

                  Flooding could well be a problem. The ground in our yard already goes "squish", and the hurricane hasn't even got here yet.

                    I've no respect for a hurricane, as compared to a tornado; but when Berz was considering leaving Kansas, wasn't North Carolina one of his considerations?

                    More irony.

                      Well is sounds like to me that this hurricane is losing strength every day. Its top wind speed is down to 120 mph.

                          Actually, I warned Berz about this. N.C. is the part of the US most likely to be hit by a hurricane or other tropical weather. In any given year there's a 60% chance N.C. will get hit by a hurricane, whereas my part of Florida has only a 1% chance of getting hit.

                          And it's not criminals that follow me, just serial killers.

                                So serial killers are not criminals
