ALERT: Hurricane Isidore forecasted to have at least 150 MPH winds within 72 hours

[Askel5]

So ... would your God punish the United States with massive terrorist destruction a fortnight after the President used Scripture to gild his decision re: the best utilitarian use of "Excess" human lives or does he just reserve his wrath for anyone who crosses Israel?

If you believe Bush is on the bubble at present for having failed to bless the State of Israel unconditionally, were the Irgun assassins and terrorist types good and faithful servants doing "God's work" in all righteousness "by any means necessary"?

"People were found drowned in their attics after Hurricane Betsy, because places went from having no water to having 20 feet of water in 15 minutes," Krieger said

That's a sobering thought. I guess they're not so "slow-moving" once all hell breaks loose.

Hurricane season ends in November!

There were only 3,000+ (we are told) lost in the WTC towers. More than 5,000 per week are murdered in abortion mills across the country. G~d keeps score. See Deut. 28:1-68.

Guess I'll add toe tags to the hurricane kit. I still don't see how evacuation's a possibility for me.

[SamAdams76]

Technically, yes. But a hurricane hitting the U.S. mainland this time of year is a rare event. Of course, we get northeasters up in this neck of the woods all winter long that approach a Cat 1 hurricane. There was a blizzard we got in February 1978 that was pretty much a hurricane with snow. 75-80 m.p.h. winds with nearly four feet of snow and drifts 10-15 feet high!

SamAdams76,

What, no sarcasm tag? Hurricane season peaks late August through late September. We are still in nearly the worst part of Hurrican season. Hurricanes that hit the US mainland according to month (1900 -2000):

42 in August
65 in September
25 in October

How good is your Claudette Colbert impersonation?

Here's the best image I've found. This one is neatly packed.

lol ... that's cute.

You think they'd still pick me up when the B came running from his hiding spot behind some shrubs?

[sinkspur]

Hmmm...a beeline for the ranch at Crawford. There really could be "no cattle" there soon. It is best to bless Israel, really it is. Pray for Bush to repent.

Blithering, 2sheep.

You're blithering.

[Askel5]

G~d keeps score.

You think the ratio of Excess to Implanted human lives bothers Him in the least?

SamAdams,

Either you are just trying to intentionally mislead people for whatever reason, or just very uneducated. Either way, put a sock in it. What you are babbling is completely untrue.

Hurricane Hilda hit us in October of 1964. It left behind more damage and deaths than Andrew in 1992. I still consider it the worst storm I've ever been through and certainly do not welcome a repeat performance. We don't breath easy around here until it's well into November.

combined with land subsidence and sea-level rise

I hate it when I'm reading something that seems like an informative article, and then there's a zinger like this. There is pretty much no documented sea-level rise. So now, I don't know whether the rest of the article is junk, or not.

[dennis1x]

Nice picture. The last 2 hours or so it appears on satellite to have reached its strongest point yet. The next aircraft recon will, i predict, show the lowest pressure thus far.

I do not claim ot be a meteorlogist, but have been watching huricanes as a hobby for many years. (Near SE Texas Gulf Coast). My experience has shown that once storms get to the Category 4 or 5 Level, Mesoclinic influences are not near as prevalent. (e.g. Gilbert, Hugo, Andrew, Camille) A serious trough by sway or turn this storm maybe 10- 30 degrees, but at this point I don't I see a right turn happening. (I hope)

This article is from LSU, a noted very low-tier educational source.

[SamAdams76]

Only one storm in the last 50 years has ever hit Texas after September 25th as a hurricane. So I know of what I speak. No panic-mongering is necessary here. Hurricane season is over, for all practical purposes.

Hi dennis,
latest SAT shot shows the storm really getting its act together..the eye is visible on the SAT..also pressure is back down to 946 after going up to 948 for an hour or so..looks like the mean motion is WNW about 4-5 MPH..outflow is great and its over 86 degree water..Will most likely be a CAT 4 by morning
