. Hey, I still have some time left to develop my sensitive side.

I heard on the news, the other day, that there was another Hurricane coming and that no one should be alarmed and they should just be careful.
Thats some real good advice, especially if its looking like that (pic above)

Also where has the fuck head some people like to call the president of America...
Whats he done to help the New Orleans people.......7 letters....NOTHING!

Whoever tries to stick up for him after my post isnt worth replying to/arguing with.

Dear lord, look at the size of this thing Hate to say this, but I wonder what it'd be like to stand in the middle (the "eye") of the hurricane. Must be quite a sight.

Whoever tries to stick up for him after my post isnt worth replying to/arguing with.

Be ready. Riot's gonna come a chargin'!

NY warned to prepare for hurricane like Katrina
By Claudia Parsons Mon Sep 19, 3:49 PM ET

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Manhattan could be flooded and New York could suffer as much damage as New Orleans if it were hit by a catastrophic hurricane like one that passed just north of the city in 1938, experts warned on Monday.

"Major hurricanes are not limited to the Gulf Coast and Florida," said James Lee Witt, who was director of the
Federal Emergency Management Agency from 1993 to 2000 in the Clinton administration.

He was speaking at the launch of a campaign to improve preparation for disasters such as Hurricane Katrina, which killed at least 883 people when it slammed into Louisiana and neighboring states last month with 140 mile-per-hour (224 kph) winds and a 30-foot (nine-metre) storm surge.

The ProtectingNewYork.org coalition, which includes insurance companies, will work to create a catastrophe fund like those already in place in Florida and California that would kick in if damage from a natural disaster, accident or attack reached a certain threshold, Witt said.

The former FEMA chief, whose consulting firm lobbies for Allstate Insurance Co., was asked by Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco to advise on relief efforts after Katrina.

Witt said that the 1938 "Long Island Express" hurricane missed Manhattan by only 55 miles, yet caused damage worth over $300 million and killed 700 people. "A similar storm today could cause damages in the tens of billions of dollars," according to a factsheet handed out by the organization.

Katrina was a Category 4 hurricane. The 1938 hurricane slammed Long Island and New England with winds of 121 mph (194 kph) and peak gusts of 183 mph (293 kph).

Witt said the September 11, 2001, attack on the World Trade Center cost some $30 billion and experts estimated that another spectacular attack could cause damages exceeding $250 billion, perhaps more if it involved a nuclear facility or nuclear device.

NEW YORK DISASTER

"You like to think in modern times that these events can't happen," said Cherie Burns, author of "The Great Hurricane: 1938," published in July by Atlantic Monthly Press.

She said the 1938 hurricane was especially devastating because there was no warning, whereas modern technology meant that forecasting was much easier so people could be evacuated.

Still, Burns said, the impact of a major storm could be enormous. "A surge of 12 or 13 feet might really put water right in downtown Manhattan," she said.

The plan would be to use a portion of property insurance premiums to create the fund, which would enjoy tax-free growth. Witt said no tax dollars would go to the fund, and insurance companies would not be able to dip into the special fund for any purpose other than paying claims from catastrophes that exceed a threshold to be determined.

"New York has a very high population. If there was an event in New York the costs would be astronomical," he said.

Witt said FEMA's problems handling Katrina in recent weeks reinforced concerns he expressed to Congress in March 2004 that the agency's ability to respond had been damaged by putting it under the control of the Department of
Homeland Security.

"My hope is they will look at this seriously and put FEMA back as an independent agency with the position at cabinet level that I had," he said. "Whenever you take the leadership and take the resources and funding out of an agency that has the role and responsibility that FEMA has ... then it's difficult to be able to respond."

It's funny how there's an article on New York when there's no indication of a hurricane heading to New York.

Do you know what would be really cool?

Oh yeh, Im supposed to tell you.....
It would be cool if a huge Hurricane went and blew the fuck out of Washington, just a 30 km radius of the White House, but only if in that 30km radius, George Bush and his wife(if he has one, i dont know if he does) were the only ones there!

That would be so cool! I would buy a ticket to fly over there, just so I could take a piss on his grave!

they predicting with in the next 20 years.
its possible.
One this is for sure, you better not be in the subway if it does come. Cause you going be washed up witha bunch of dead rats all around you.

Zmac, I can't understand what you are saying but what I could comprehend you sound like a dumbass.

I don't know what you said in your other post, something like what has Bush done for the New Orleans people. He gave them $10 billion dollars, he gave most of them $2,000 and he sent in 50,000+ troops to help on the whole gulf coast. But then you wrote something about 7 letters...I don't know what the fuck that means. Are you trying to say people are writing him letters and he isn't replying?

As for you wishing a major hurricane comes to Washington, DC to kill thousands of people...you are an ass. I understand you want George Bush dead (I pity you) but saying you want a hurricane to hit a major city like that is just plan awful.

Anyways, I expect Hurricane Rita to be a category 4 or 3 when it hits land on Saturday.

Sorry I have to break my promise....

But then you wrote something about 7 letters...I don't know what the fuck that means. Are you trying to say people are writing him letters and he isn't replying?

I said, "...7 letters...NOTHING...." N-1 O-2 T-3 H-4 I-5 N-6 G-7, that makes up 7 letters.

As for you wishing a major hurricane comes to Washington, DC to kill thousands of people...you are an ass. I understand you want George Bush dead (I pity you) but saying you want a hurricane to hit a major city like that is just plan awful.

Again I will repeat what I said, and this time make sure you READ it with your eyes.

"It would be cool if a huge Hurricane went and blew the fuck out of Washington, just a 30 km radius of the White House, but only if in that 30km radius, George Bush and his wife(if he has one, i dont know if he does) were the only ones there!"

At you being the dumbass, and not just 'sounding' like one.

I'm the dumbass? You're the one who thinks a hurricane can hit Washington DC and only hit the white house and only kill Bush.

Anyways, I don't really need to spend time with you considering you don't know too much about the situation going on in New Orleans or the gulf coast or how the American government works.

I'm the dumbass? You're the one who thinks a hurricane can hit Washington DC and only hit the white house and only kill Bush.

Ever heard of like a j/k, or sarcasm. omfg, always serious you are....

Just coz you wanna ride Bush' cock all day long and I want to slit his throat, doesnt mean we have to argue.

It just pisses me off when you say Bush hasn't done anything despite the $10 billion bill he signed to go to the gulf coast and all the troops he has sent down there to help with the relief effort.

Oh yeah, and he also said it's only the beginning. This is just a small portion of the relief aid that he and the government will send down there. But...you are right, he has done nothing.

He did something: he killed innocent people in Iraq trying to make people believe that Saddam Hussain was acting like Hitler in Iraq, he's trying to make pople believe that was the cause of this war, and stupid people is believing him... There are only 2 reasons why he's making this war:
1.His fucking daddy started this fucking war in 1990 or so, but he wasn't able to finish it, so now he's trying to finish what his dad started
2. He wants to take control of more oil in Iraq.

If that's a great president, then Hitler was a great person.
I'm glad that some INTELLIGENT and NOT PATRIOT people understood this already, but unfortunely USA is full of people that says: "God bless America" and shit like that.

"Da King", I have no fucking clue who you are, but you sound a ton like Habakkuk. How the fuck are you the be all end all rightful information in a debate about the war in Iraq (which was completely on you by the way, no one said anything about the war being right or wrong)? How come before even one person says something positive about the war in Iraq, no matter what kind of evidence they may or may not have, they are a fucking moron and you are right? You are a dumbass.

And second of all, I don't know why you think people from America are supposed to be against their country, and if they aren't then they're morons (again, you're always right in the matter). I hope no one here would completely and passionately hate there country over one thing they've done that they think is unjust. And I don't get why saying something "patriotic" makes us arrogant and cocky. I'm sure the majority of people in other countries don't worry about being called arrogant if they say something positive about their country.

Back on topic I heard this would be a Cat 6 if it were possible...Also gas prices could jump to $5 a gallon. This is the 3rd largest hurricane ever to hit the US, and the strongest one to ever hit Texas I think.

I really hate that talk of a hurricane can turn in to a political argument.

Actually, I heard the biggest one hit Galvaston (sp) near Houston back in the early 1900's.

Would that be like an insult? To me that is. DaKing seems to be a moron.

DaKing is not a moron simply because he stated his political opinion, and give him a break, he's only 15.

Yea, killed 6000, but this one was bigger, or just a little smaller. It's dropped to a Category 4 last I heard.

You really don't know what you are talking about and you are lucky that I have to reformat my computer right now or I'd lay down the law.

I wonder if Yao's parents are there or they're with Yao at Hong Kong...

DaKing is not a moron simply because he stated his political opinion, and give him a break, he's only 15.

Not for his political opinion, that's not what I ment. I was probably to unspecific.

In the sense that he started arguing about something irrelevant out of the blue.

(Ok, not a moron. But that's such a fun word)
