IBTG81 Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 In other news, the sun will rise tomorrow. 637279[/snapback] Not really. The last hurricane to hit here was like 18 years ago or so, and we only got brushed by it. This article is saying a MAJOR one will hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ofiba Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Karl Rove's weather machine is going to cause a hurricane so that it "looks" like Bush cares. You know, his poll numbers are slipping, so it stands to reason why he needs a "boost." It makes perfect sense. Going into the mid-term elections, Republicans need a boost this summer. Creating a natural disaster is the perfect way to increase votes. Brilliant reasoning by you on this. 637181[/snapback] I was being sarcastic.

Nobody is "due" for anything. It happens when it happens. My favorite is "this was a 100 year storm!" Well, if you go 200 years without one are you more likely to have one hit then if it's been 5 years since you've had one? No. That's why they are called averages.

VABills Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Listen, just because you live under a bridge and shout out, "I want me Lucky Charms", gives you n right to pipe in here. 637277[/snapback] Trolls live under bridges and demand tolls to cross. Leprachons live at the end of rainbows. Please don't mix up your fantasies Eddie boy. Oh and just like there hadn't been a major hurricane to hit NOLA in 30 years, we all knew it would happen some day. Just as there will be a big one to hit the east coast again. Although I seems to remember one a couple years ago, where I was without power for a few days. BTW, Ed, did you see the thread that the US shot cruise missles into the pentagon. I figured since you take this sh-- as fact you might buy into that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draconator Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 I agree with what eball said. This is AccuWeather folks!!! Remember last year, when Rick Santorum (sp?) wanted to abolish the National Weather Service, and install AccuWeather as the nations "voice" for offical weather news? AccuWeather is also in his district, and gave him a ton of cash for his political campaign's. With what my wife and I do for a living, we depend on local weather forcasts. We're both gardeners. If we have a client that's having a party coming up, we have to check to see not if it's going to rain, but where the rain is going to fall. How hot it is going to be, so we can plant accordingly before major heat stress hits the new plantings, etc. By far, the NWS has been the most accurate. They only issue weather alerts if there is a real danger. AccuWeather issued this story for one reason only. To install a thought of fear and panic. I guarantee you, that if you want "real time" updates if a hurricane is possible during the most active months, they will make you sign up for a pay service for this information. This is nothing more than a money making process for these idiots. If anyone would want the most dependable and up-to-date hurricane information, here's the place to go. http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once met a troll who enjoyed Lucky Charms every Wednesday. Course that was his day off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we should be shooting cruise missles into OTHER countries... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost of BiB Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Don't know if anyone here remembers, but a lot of NYS was under water in 1972 from a Hurricane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taro T Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Don't know if anyone here remembers, but a lot of NYS was under water in 1972 from a Hurricane. 637408[/snapback] Agnes was only a tropical storm when it nearly topped the Mt. Morris Dam, so that doesn't count. The fact it killed almost 140 people (primarily from flooding) apparently doesn't count either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there was one before my time - Gloria, I think - that caused severe flooding along the Buffalo-Pittsburgh corridor. Generally, though, hurricanes don't hit Buffalo as hurricanes, just as big rainstorms. When a hurricane hits Long Island, on the other hand, it tends come in like a freight train. Rhode Island's particularly vulnerable, since the bay in the eastern part of the state tends to funnel a storm surge right into downtown Providence.
