I've been following all the threads about the whole Ramadan double eclipse and the muslim evacuation warning for NYC, DC and LA for the last week or so and I have to say that I usually view the stuff with a jaundiced eye. But this time seems different. It's like the week or so before hurricane Isabel hit. I live in VA Beach, VA and we've gone through a hundred warnings in the last 30 years with no real hits...eventually you stop paying attention to the warnings. But Isabel was different...everyone just seemed to know that this one was going to hurt. I had a knot in my stomache for a week before the storm. I've got that same knot in my stomache now. I hope I'm wrong, but I've got a real bad feeling about the next 2 weeks or so.
