NASA'a Cassini spacecraft captured this image of a rare and powerful thunderstorm on Saturn on January 27. The unusually powerful tempest stretches some 2,175 miles (3,500 kilometers) from north to south. It's located in a region dubbed Storm Alley because of its high atmospheric activity.

Its a hurricane. Its more powerful than Katrina. I wouldn't like to imagine living on Saturn when it hits.

Radio signals suggest that the storm's lightning bolts are a thousand times more powerful than those that accompany Earth storms. Women, minorities hardest hit.

NASA has spotted an enormous thunderstorm on the night side of Saturn, the space agency announced this week. Radio signals suggest that the storm's lightning bolts are a thousand times more powerful than those that accompany Earth storms. That doesn't even compare to a lightning strike on Uranus!

Ya,I hope they got the buses moving up there.
To: Petronski
Governor Blanco is blaming FEMA, and Mayor Nagin said someone better get there asses up to Saturn to start evacuating people and clean up any mess. He and other staff members are too stressed so they are taking a much needed R&R to the hot springs on Mercury.
