Hurricane predictions way off
 
This was going to be the year of the "Hurricane" at least that is what the folks from the global warming group said at the end of last year ?? Where is Al Gore when you need him ? Man trying to predict what this planet is going to do next seems to have a long way to go. If we could predict the weather how boring life would be. What would we talk about then ? Check out this column on hurricanes.

Didn't Al Gore invent Jacob's Stone or something? :D

Isaac-Saxxon 11-28-2006 04:17 AM

Al Gore invented the net
 
That Stone of Destiney will crush Al Gore and all his far left tripe. The tree hugging folks seem to run to the hot buttons and the weather is not the hot button of this year they will come back to it as needed.

Gore
 
Well Sir-Isaac-of-the-stone, I bet Gore calls for a recount of the number of hurricanes this season. There really were a lot of hurricanes this season, really! :D But we just don't know about them! The Republicans kept them all secret to help in the elections. Its a conspiracy and next year will be even higher. It has to be.

Could this be a statement of some kind ? A major season and then a season with none ? We need Carl Sagen he could have told us. I like your thoughts though !

Yes a political point, with a twist of humor, for added effect. :D

Billions and Billions of stars .. (in my best Carl Sagen impersonation.) Caught a video of him on the Science channel. That guy could make Protons and Nuetrons sound exciting. :)

I think it was his fine collection of tutle necks that made him so cool. Good old Carl was trying his best though.

Forecasters: Fewer hurricanes for '07

Quote:

MIAMI, Florida (AP) -- Government forecasters minimally reduced their prediction for the Atlantic hurricane season Thursday, saying up to nine hurricanes and up to 16 tropical storms are expected to form.


This season has been tame, but August typically marks the start of the most frenetic months of Atlantic weather.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration maintained its estimate that three to five of the hurricanes would be strong. The original report forecast up to 17 tropical storms, with up to 10 becoming hurricanes.

Federal forecasters' move Thursday follows that of Colorado State University hurricane researcher William Gray, who slightly lowered his forecast last week.

Gray's initial projection called for 17 named storms and nine hurricanes, five of them intense. He revised it to 15 named storms and eight hurricanes, four of them intense.

After the battering by storms Katrina and Rita in 2005 there were widespread fears last summer of another powerful storm striking, but the unexpected development of El Nino -- the periodic warming of Pacific Ocean waters that affects wind patters and tends to result in fewer Atlantic storms -- helped dampen conditions.

There's only one Being that can accurately predict the weather and He likes to keep us guessing!:):pray:

If that's true then He is kind of a jerk.

Pocahontas 08-09-2007 10:54 AM

I'd be sure and take cover if I were you during the next lightning storm!:p

joepole some times your a smart ass then there are times you bring some good ideas to the board this time you show just what a fool you can really be.
Yes it is your right and your choice :rolleyes:

joepole 08-09-2007 12:00 PM

I'm a fool for thinking an entity that can do good but chooses not to is a jerk?

I actually had a different word than "jerk" but the forum edited it out.
