Not looking good. I feel bad for people who are getting into their 2nd storm in less than 1 month. Life must be low for them.

also, about the person who said global warming has nothing to do with this... I am not trying to argue because I just do not know... but don't hurricanes pick up force from higher water temperatures? Water tempuratures rise from global warming right? So in a way it is a reason behind it? or was I just misinformed through school?

Global warming would actually contribute to a cooling of the ocean temperatures.

Heat the atmosphere, the polar ice caps melt, dumping millions of tons of ice water into the oceans...which get spread around by currents. Cools the water. Yeah, eventually the ocean temperatures would rise...after the ice caps went away //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Besides...global warming occurs on a much greater time scale (thousands of years) than what we're dealing with here.

While I don't have a lot of sympathy for those that aren't prepared...that's a little harsh, even for my standards //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

i say this because i got kids in my class already planning to leaving wed morning. And it was like a class discussion. People dont seem to realize why Katrina was so bad, they see her destruction and automaticaly know its gonna be the same here. If it starts to get sever (sp) im sure ill leave also but not until then.
