... It shouldn't be long for hollyweird to come out with the movie.
Seriously, a cat-4 in NJ, eastern part of the storm over NYC would be bad news... however the author seems bent on writing about the absolute worst case scenario, that I wonder if he's clamoring for contract to write a movie script.
If George Bush is still in office when this happens, I am sure women and minorities will be hit hardest.
The movie's already written and screened (Day After Tomorrow). Why bother with another one?
Water temp in the Gulf the week Katrina hit - 98 degrees. Water temp off NYC at the height of summer - 72 degrees. What does a Cat 1 need to become a Cat 3-5....warm water.
I was just thinking the same thing; imagine a Spike Lee kind of flick where all the homeys, the hookers and all the rest decocked their nines, put away their crack pipes and reported for duty. Add a hip-hop soundtrack interspersed with a "Jaws" kind of drum beat, pass around a bucket for donations to feed those disenfranchised by all the storms caused by global warming and there you have it - instant Oscar material.
