Excellent journalism in the new "bold truth" approach of the glorious Journ-0-listers(tm)! Nominate for Pulitzer now!

Having trouble staying up till 9 at night but I'm catching the shows the next morning. Love it!

Need to check in here more often: I missed it. I'll check it out in the archive tonight.

Well, Alan West is the only GOP candidate I've ever given $ to, so I'm not on any RNC mailing list, but if they sent anything to me pushing fake-!@# Romney, I'd pull the old tape a brick to the return envelope and send it back to em.

Part 2
Now FLOODING is going to be very dependant upon the orientation of the water body to the piling up of water. For instance, Hurricane Frederick in 79 hit mobile pretty hard, but 50 miles away in Biloxi, the water actually blew OUT of the bay and into the gulf. We had a NORTH WIND in that instance. With Katrina, we got a south wind, and with a bay open on the south end but closed on the north, everyone knows what happened there. With New Orleans, they had the east west oriented Lake Ponchatrain. Even if the eyewall was slightly east of new orleans, thus giving them a north wind, Lake Ponchatrain to the east was getting filled with water piling into the crook which comprises the louisiana delta and is blocked to the north by Mississippi. If that description makes sense, it sort of demonstrates how the orientation of the body of water with respect to the acccumulating water determines where and if there will be flooding.

HOWEVER, all that being said, don't take much heart in a line drawn on a 3 day forecast as to where the center of the cane will be. They are nearly ALWAYS wrong.

I've sat through the eyewall of Camile (120 miles north of the coast), Georges (3/4 miles from beach), and Katrina (3/4 mile from beach), and had numerous canes past to both the west and east of me, within 50 miles.

The most terrifying effects of the wind are very, very localized. There can be heavy thunderstorms, but the huge 100+ mph sustained winds are pretty much confined to the eyewall.

AS LONG AS THE WESTERN EDGE OF THE EYEWALL PASSES TO YOUR EAST, winds won't be as severe. (part 2 follows)

No, it would take the likes of Barbara Streisand, Richard Dreyfuss, and their ilk to shake the jewish folks out of their jewicidal voting preferences.

I find it so strange that they apparently have such a fear of Christians, who, as a whole, love them to death.

Payback's a biotch! Waaaaaaaaaaaa

Those Westboro freaks are coming to protest a Marine's funeral in Brandon, Mississippi this Saturday. I suspect they're about to walk into a buzzsaw. I'm aware of several folks on a hunting forum I frequent who are going to let them know just what they think of their conduct.

re: "I've read every. single. post. At least twice"

You're kidding?!?

Are y'all still having to read every post?
