A strong non-tropical low is centered about 1000 miles WSW of the Azores Islands. The storm appears close to acquiring tropical characteristics, so it could become Tropical Storm Delta at any time. It would, however, offer no immediate threat to any land areas.

As I jot this down on paper, it is Monday evening, October 24, and Hurricane Wilma is moving over the Atlantic after her morning rampage across South Florida. My power went out shortly before 7 AM as the eastern eyewall approached Miami-Dade, and I'm listening to ABC Channel 10 on my radio. They are reporting that 98% of both Broward and Miami-Dade Counties are without power, and FPL says it could take up to four weeks to restore all power. So I have no idea when anyone else will be able to read these words, but I'm putting them down...

A tropical wave in the Caribbean became more organized on Tuesday. Residents of Jamaica and the Cayman Islands may have to deal with bouts of heavy rain shortly. An Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft may be dispatched to check out the disturbance on Wednesday. Another disturbance being watched is moving westward in the central Atlantic about halfway between Africa and South America near 10 degrees north. Convection is beginning to develop around a low pressure center associated with the system, so further development is possible. In the central Pacific, Tropical Storm Kenneth (50 mph) is located about 910 miles...

Someone on FR asked this question: I will say it again, did the RATS intentionally make things worse in LA to use as a political weapon ?My answer is yes, indeed they did. They most certainly did. And they made that decision BEFORE Katrina even hit. I outline their entire plan in a thread I posted several days ago: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1478397/postsBut before you read it, let me go even further than I did on that thread and take what I said to its logical conclusion. And if, after reading the thread, you think it's too far-fetched, just consider the slander and...

Buses left in parking lots. Emergency plans completely ignored. Repeated warnings inexplicably unheeded. Contingencies not even considered. How can it be that in the 21st Century, any group of human beings facing a terrible, imminent danger would fail to consider things and take actions that would occur to even a child? Especially a group of people living in the most powerful nation on the face of this earth? Was it collective insanity? Mass delusion? Blissful denial? Or perhaps it was a deadly mixture of incompetence, ineptness, and stupidity -- all coming together fatally at one moment in time for maximum...
