Yes, Hurricane Ivan which is predicted to be a class 3 or 4 by the time it makes landfall (Frances was a 2)

i'm starting to feel sad for florida. by the time ivan gets here, how many other states will be in trouble? [curiosity]

[bascule]

Did anyone notice that second hurricane that is coming in to florida also?

another picture, just for kicks.

That is a really beautiful picture.

there is something very beautiful about destruction. what it is, i'm not quite sure yet. but there is; i promise.

That is a really beautiful picture. I have to admit though, that when it looks that scary from outer space I'm really glad I live in volcano, flood, freezing rain and earthquake country instead.

Not knowing Florida has hurricanes is like not knowing the Internet has pr0n.

the internet has pr0n? i do not believe it.

i wonder how my grandmother is doing... she just moved to florida, how unfortunate. she should have given me her damn piano before she moved. the citizens of florida should learn how to swim. especially the grandmothers.

But truthfully there is some people who have no choice/ no money. So i mean it can swing both ways.

Some people "choose" to live in (on any other day) tropical climent with averages of 70d in winter time? What gets me is the fact that people live in trailers out there, and want people to feel sorry for them! Who lives in a trailer willingly in southern Florida?

This is not to belitle their character. If your going to have that lifestyle, do you really think it's fair for the rest of us to feel bad that you choose that in Florida? Com'on now!

I thought it was the site of the next Defcon conference.

Sick you can see the core of it. Yea I still donated regardless, i know that they chose to live there. But truthfully there is some people who have no choice/ no money. So i mean it can swing both ways.

Perhaps the filename of the image will lend a clue to that puzzle!

I noticed that when I tried to save it for use as a desktop background. :)



Because I like controversy...

Do you donate to causes such as the Florida hurricane-relief fund or, equivalently, Kansas tornado-relief funds? On one hand, most of the victims chose to live in a dangerous location where disasters are not uncommon. On the other hand, people are suffering (foolish or otherwise).

PS: I apologize to bascule in advance if I get his thread kicked into /dev/null. :)
