Supa,
"George Bush and his Evil Hurricane Creating Machine."
You know, some how I wouldn't doubt it.
Gibson,
Sounds like a good idea to me! Exactly how do we proceed? My guess is we get rid of all environmental regulations worldwide, cut down every tree, nuke the arctic and antarctic, and put even more people on barrier islands. That should be a pretty good start. I'll mail this to GW, I'm sure he'll like the idea and maybe I can even make a few bucks!!! (Well, more than a few.)
Ice,
"mindido, my prediction wasn't for over the Gulf, but for landfall only. It certainly entered my mind that it would go to at least a 4 over the Gulf, but possibly weaken a category when it made landfall."
Well, you still may be correct. Being that Rita went Cat 5 about 2:00 p.m. CDT today, it could still weaken a bit, but, time will tell.
"The questions are, how many more of these are there left in the season and where will they strike?"
As of two days ago, there was another one not too far behind Rita. Haven't seen anything of her since though. One thing I did learn today, this is the first time in recorded history that the US has been hit by two Cat 4's (or greater). I don't know if anyone wants to celebrate...... Probably not.
Oh, Ice. You can probably get rid of the (Soon to be) part of the header.

"maybe he is telling us that there are more important things to worry about than all the bullshit in this world."
Good thought but from what I've seen, the powers that be wouldn't agree.
