Hurricane Irene

[Razgovory]

Yeah, we should be like 1900 in Galveston.  What an ideologically inflexible moron.

I don't think Ron is opposed to the advance notice provided by weather forecasting.

Isn't the National Weather service done at the federal level?

Yup.

Stay classy Bachmann:

I don't know how much God has to do to get the attention of the politicians. We've had an earthquake; we've had a hurricane. He said, 'Are you going to start listening to me here?' Listen to the American people because the American people are roaring right now. They know government is on a morbid obesity diet and we've got to rein in the spending."

Just seen this on USA. Another talking head....

I bet lightning bolts simultaneously hitting all the Democratic members of Congress would do the trick.

It's just a joke.  If James Carville can avoid getting his panties in a twist about it, surely you can.

True, Bachmann is a joke.

Indeed.  The second Perry declared, her candidacy was finished.  He had everything she does, and one thing that is essential for the evangelical vote, which Bachmann could never have:  A Y-chromosome.

Looks like more people are asking if Irene was ever a hurricane:

Why's that important?

Because that blog had this comment:

Cliff- Great analysis, and I agree with you. Unfortunately, it won't make any difference. NY/DC consider themselves to be the centers of the universe (financial and government, respectively), and nothing that might be said will change that. You're dealing with people who are proud of the fact that they haven't taken a vacation in several years (why the world might stop if they took a day off, of course, that might be a cause of the hype, but that's a story for another day).

I'm going to trust the NHC and other experts over some retards with a blog.
The NHC does commonly review the data from the hurricane season during and after it, upgrading and downgrading if necessary. So, we shall see.

Presumably he means this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1900_Galveston_hurricane

the Great Hurricane of 1780

Interesting, I didn't know about this storm.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Hurricane_of_1780#Impact

The winds stripped the bark off trees before the hurricane downed every tree on the island.[2] This phenomenon has not been observed in any of the strongest modern-day tropical cyclones, so, according to meteorologist Dr. Jose Millas, for it to have been done by winds and rain alone would require winds over 200 mph (320 km/h)

I think her excuse that this is a joke is probably worse, politically, than if she was serious. Now she is joking about the death of 20 people.

Also I saw the last night that your Gov advised people not to go to work if they didn't want to.

Worked great for the Greeks.
