Florida is in for some major storm action. They are about to get by a hurricane (Charley) and a tropical storm (Bonnie). There is a chance that Bonnie will be upgraded to a hurricane by the time it reaches Florida.

Normally I would say thanks for the warning to Rev, cause I'm supposed to go to Jacksonville in two weeks. Normally I would say cool pic to Karra......
But you two... Each time one of you post, the other one replies, always trying to outdo each other. Now having said that, When Rev doesn't agree with someone he will just persist until there a compromise, until the other one shows some understanding of his views.. Now you Karra you just post... to post or slander whatever you can put your fingers on. Earlier today I tried to post on the Arrow just to see if we could start something different that the US/Canada relations, or lack off these days. That went like a lead balloon. Back to my point, you two should try to avoid each other for a day or two. Doesn't matter what the other one posts, it's just oppinions.

Well now young M, methinks you've allowed yourself to become entwined and entangled. . . . don't go worrying your pretty head about he and I. For your information and elucidation the piccy I posted is absolutely not in competition with him, but is meant solely as a contribution only to his thread for as it happens I was considering a thread on precisely this topic.

Too bad about your thread, some work and some don't - don't be overly disappointed and keep at it. . . .

Now getcher ass on back here and tell him "thanks" and me "cool pic."

   

They can only blame themselves for it. After all the polution they created is causing global warming that in turns causes this type of weather. Maybe someday they will learn and start doing something to save the enviroment.

   

Comtech the entire world is guilty of polluting this planet. Kicking someone when they are down is not the Canadian way. While you make your flippant remarks, you might consider these are real people that have lost their homes and lives.

   

I live in BC and almost within reach of the giant Okanagan Mountain Park fire last year. Waking up and everything in the house smells smokey. Again this year, even less rain and more heat. We broke 50 year records the other day for a 42 degree celcius afternoon heat. Stayed like that for like 3-4 days. I was listening to the radio and some guy was like "This heat wave and lack of rain this summer has nothing to do with global warming" BULL-SCHEISSE! Everyone looks at global warming as everyone else's fault. But truthfully if we all drove one day less a week and carppooled more, we'd all be better. But some people see it as "the next generation's problem" o well, I'll only be alive (if I live to life expectancy of 80 years) for another 63 years.

   

I'm with Zen on that one. Nobody deserve loosing their home.

Global warming isn't to blame for every single weather phenomena that occurs these days.

You said it was a 50 year old record you broke DMP, so how do you explain the extreme heat 50 years ago? It wasn't global warming, sometimes stuff like that just happens.

   

Extreme weather events are becoming more common all over the world. It matches predictions that have been made since the onset of global warming theory. What were previously hundred year events are now happening every 50 or 25 years, heat waves are lasting longer and getting a little hotter, droughts are a little drier, floods a little deeper.

We ignore such signs at our own peril.
