The washing machines won't work 'cause they won't be plugged in.

Duh.

Based on your first transmission during Operation: Oedipus, your codename can be Agent Twitch.

Hurricane Rita may cause more trouble in New Orleans. Looking at the latest radar image above, the eye of the hurricane will be passing just to the west of the city. If you know anything about weather or hurricanes, the strongest winds and the heaviest rains are found on the immediate eastern edge of a hurricane's eye wall caused by the counter-clockwise spin of the extreme low pressure system. Although it appears that the immediate eastern edge of the eye wall will be a couple hundred miles to the west of the city, in it's weaken state, it might not take much to set the city back in it's recovery efforts.

Crusher,

Your a little late. There have already been at least three "overtoppings" of the levees in N.O. The Ninth Ward is already under 2 to 6 ft. of water (again).

 

[qazx]

Any exp0sed member living in the path of Hurricane Rita? (i Know about the Texan .. but i dont know his exact location)

I hope they are safe.

thanks to weathermatrix for a list of category 5 hurricanes in the atlantic since 1928... http://www.weathermatrix.net/tropical/cat5storms.htm

some of you will be shocked to learn that these happen in bunches, and have been happening for quite some time now... 10-30 more years in the current cycle we are in, then a period of relative calm... AGAIN... this, like EVERYTHING else in nature, is a cycle...

mindido, in 1960 and 1968, two category 5 hurricanes hit... your info is bad... i see you have self corrected... i dont have a cat 4 list, but adding it to the cat five list should show a pattern... a CYCLICAL pattern...

most of us werent around the last time hurricanes got bad, and as ones frame of reference is generally ones lifetime to date, this winds up being talked about like its a new thing that was never this bad before... that thinking is wrong, and speaking on it is marginally irresponsible...

as for the war against nature, id love to join you, but there are two reasons i cant... first, i am helping karl rove with upgrades to the Amazing Incredible Hurricane Creation Device, and secondly, i realize that humanity is far too small to affect any meaningful changes to nature, intentional or otherwise... except the AIHCD, that is...

 

[mindido]

cable,

"some of you will be shocked to learn that these happen in bunches, and have been happening for quite some time now... 10-30 more years in the current cycle we are in, then a period of relative calm..."

Hmmm. Does make you wonder. If we're in for another 10 to 30 years of storms like these.... How much of the Gulf coast will remain? And will we be shelling out $200 billion or so each summer. And if so, how long can we afford to do that? Or more precisely, how long before China quits funding our frivolous behavior?

 

[cableguy]

personally, i am against paying dime number one to disaster relief efforts... thats what insurance is for, and beyond that, tough... most of the gulf coast will remain, because most hurricanes hit nothing of importance to the economy... you are grasping at a straw that doesnt exist, and you are doing so with speculation... chinas economy will fail long before the current hurricane intense cycle we are in expires... and what frivolous behavior, exactly, is china funding??

 

[Conman]

The shutting down and cleaning up of several major refineries and causing oil and energy prices up to record highs isn't considered important to the economy? The US must be a very rich country. Oh wait, did someone mention a deficit?

China's economy failing? we'll leave that debate for another 5 years. Someone remind me to bring that one up then.

 

[mindido]

Con,

Heh, heh!

At least someone else around here understands a bit about world ecomomics.

 

[The Crusher]

This is off topic, but the cause of high oil prices and therefore high gas prices is not hurricanes in the Gulf Coast. It's China's booming ecomony and high demand for petroleum. Supply and demand, brother, supply and demand.

Cuando monos vuelven de mi culo

 

[cableguy]

conman, re-read my post... you missed something... i referred to MOST hurricanes... not these two... you are also mixing unrelated things... absent unwarranted price manipulations by opec, these two storms wouldnt have had any hand at all in a record oil price, as there wouldnt have been a record oil price... a temporary spike, perhaps, but that too will subside quickly...

oh, most hurricanes never touch US soil... i forgot to mention that... check your history if you will, but much fewer than half of all tropical storms that get named produce so much as a single raindrop that hits US soil... these, along with most that DO make landfall here, have an economical impact that is best described as "insignifigant." if you would have read the post as written, that reply, and this one, would have been unnecessary...

 

[mindido]

Crusher,

"This is off topic, but the cause of high oil prices and therefore high gas prices is not hurricanes in the Gulf Coast. It's China's booming ecomony and high demand for petroleum. Supply and demand, brother, supply and demand."

That is totally correct and has been mentioned many times in the Gas Prices thread. Some people don't seem to understand that though.

 

[Conman]

Didn't get anything wrong, cable ...

... most of the gulf coast will remain, because most hurricanes hit nothing of importance to the economy...

The coast is almost wiped out and THESE hurricanes hit something of importance. I read it as it is so dont condenscend me.

Looks like one unprecedented thing will occur very soon. The first time that an Atlantic tropical storm season will run out of the alphabet and go into Greek letters. We have had Hurricane Vince. There is only one more letter left, W. After that (since Q, X, Y, and Z are not used, due to so few possible names, I suppose), it will be Tropical Storm Alpha, Beta, Gamma, etc.
