Tracking Hurricane Katia

Is that smoke I see rising from Texas and Arizona?

Yes and the remnants of Lee may well be coming to flood up the East Coast. There are still people in NJ without electricity almost two weeks later and people are still on evacuation watch due to rivers cresting due to record rains... and people claimed Irene was hyped. It's not so much the category its the residual effects as well. By those standards Irene was a whopper.

Its not the people in Texas who work hard to put food on the table and pay rent, its those freaking politicians who live in a plastic bubble. May their bubbles burst with a huge pop.

Flick,
This is getting scary. How terrible that Obama skipped VT but cozied up with Fat Fatty. (Chris Christie) Take care, my thoughts are with you and hopefully your area can dodge one more bullet.

right on and we should be doing this before disaster hits.hope everyone recovers well
and be safe.

NJ got hit bad, I have a lot of friends there, so I hope they get help - but I also wonder about the Christie vs Leahy dynamic... Support for Obama was eroding in VT over the summer. I also suspect because the financiers live in Westchester they perhaps got a little more love than the Catskills did, even though they were much harder hit and less able financially to help themselves.

That domestic disaster relief doesn't automatically come before wars of intervention and bank bail-outs is unthinkable. Not enough funding? Really? What have we become?

I agree with you. We have to come together in communities to plan for these events. We are virtually on our own. I wish recovery for VT. It is a beautiful state.

Along with Leahy, even more so Bernie Sanders who has been much more vocal in his opposition to the Obama agenda. We have become a plutocracy, Flick, but not only that we have become a society where Americans hate their fellow man/woman in growing numbers. Only when they need help, does the story change.

This makes me puke, Flick!

Thanks for this image. It could actually cross Florida as well and go into the Gulf. It could actually do a few things. I guess we will have to wait and see in the next couple of days what course it takes.

Yes, it is said September is usually the worst month.

I plan on doing the same. Thanks very much, and Al Gore is a kindred spirit to me. I have learned so much from him.

One after another, hurricane after hurricane, those in the path of anyone of these will realize the weather s so screwed up it's time to move. Too higher ground, maybe, away maybe, inland maybe. There is no escape from the seed we have sown, it is projected the now fragile economy will be brought to it's knees by climate change Jan. The final nail in the preverbal coffin is being hammered in, while we dance with the stars. I commend you Jan for all your efforts over the past, but people are so stupid and denied it was happening for too long. Climate change is very real, now it's time to pay the piper. I hope people like you are going to be safe from the weathers wrath, those who have stood in the way of any real change are doomed to suffering. Please take care Jan, you are a remarkable person that did her best to warn us all.

People have been warning of this for over thirty years Kenny. And so many still won't listen. And don't worry, I will do what I need to do to stay safe. I wonder sometimes if this isn't what needs to happen to wake people up, but then I wonder how many will it take? I honestly don't know anymore.

I don't think we can stop it now, the tipping point has come and gone! I have been hearing of Laser tech that has been being developed that actually can effect the weather. Forming big drops of rain in cloud formations, too little to late possibly. We shall see, Governments around the world are scrambling to do something. I am sure the Elite have known this was coming for sometime, and have actually worked against stopping it from happening. End result is what they have wanted for sometime, depopulating an over populated planet is exactly what they want. Climate and Earth changes are happening for sure, keep safe Jan you will be needed in the future!

Thanks for that. Looking at the tracker at the link, depending on wind sheer I'm hoping it doesn't make a beeline for NJ. I actually hope it goes East and stays away all together. We won't know until the end of this week I would guess. And even though they make me nervous when I see them getting closer to land, I am fascinated watching them.

Jan, I'm glad that you made fine with Irene visit. Hurricanes are very dangerous, I have experience a few of them with Wilma taking the roof off my house. I spent that night inside my tub with pillows and blankets on top of me, it was a trully scary experience which I hope never repeats itself. So make sure you are well prepared for what might come. Sometimes these storms make unexpected turns so it's best to be prepared just in case.

That is so true. Nothing is guaranteed with a hurricane. Thanks.
