What does that have to do with Green Cars??:confused: How cooked do you want the planet to be? Hurricanes more frequent, more powerful from climate change & a warming tropical region - you know, like the one that just ripped through the east coast here..

Just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round, you know I really love to watch them roll. It's a different world today. Everything instant, kinda numbing at times the overload of news.. people committing themselves to causes, lost in the flurry of information, wonder if it matters, like a comet plunging into the planet Jupiter.. but just maybe it sends out ripples. Gotta send some mail then to Hedges..

Things out of context can only make you wonder?! Anyhow, memories and objects, if anyone was watching as well..

Wow, what a disaster. Sorry to see it taking such a toll. There are times when we are no match for the fury of nature...

I gather Viri's either going to sleep now, or her communications device is going to sleep now?:laugh3: Take care Viri, keep Albania free.;)

That's just not true. Jesus was actually a Chinese merchant who turned left when he should of gone right in the Philippines (or was that Philistines?), and wound up crossing through the Panama canal before he reached the Mediterranean (digging the canal slowed him down, and they didn't have barbers in Panama in those days, so his hair got all long and curly). After finally going up river from Carmel Shake (later changed to Sharm el Sheikh), he arrived to greet the fishermen in the Sea of Galilee on a Sunday. Hence the Sundae was born. And there was much rejoicing. YAY!! :P And you know, they forgot to include that story, it really was one of the best ones. Two loaves of bread and some fish, but they left out the dessert Jesus brought! Oi.

:laugh3: This fellows so ridiculous I can't believe it - can anyone really be that simplistic and locked into a frame of mind? Everyone knows the world is actually 6,000 years old, sheesh, he's off by a good 1000! I think when they were carving the last Fjords of Norway they left a little inscription somewhere at the base of one of them (you know how artists like to sign and date their work, they're sneaky that way), but the water rushed in and it's hard to see it now - things got a little silted up over time. I dunno - he thinks the world is highly anti-Semitic, a little less anti-Zionist, and generally other people are misinformed. Well to me it seems that the world isn't all that anti-Semitic, but has grown tired of any intolerant ultra-ists. Imperialists, Nationalists, Zionists, Capitalists, Communists - all those ists tend to think they're all there is. Silly really, we're all just like a bunch of fleas arguing over who owns the dog when we get like that...

Blue Cars are really Green if the Blue is from Solar Cells!!:P

Well naturally, the first land to get struck gets whammered the hardest, then diminishing gradually over time. But if there's a couple of hours yet, the winds will get pretty fierce as the eye approaches. excitement then into the night.. here, just clear starlight and cool air. ^^ Wild Subway Shot! Wow!!

a redwood Chinese fishing vessel.. interesting combination! Anyhow, totally unrelated, something from San Francisco's historic maritime preservation department... Wonder how they handled storms?

Didn't you know that Lore?:laugh3: Wildlife in NYC is quite exceptional.. But the question is: Are some of those rats tame, and who's side are they on? Will they defend humans from predatory giant squid and sea lamprey getting washed into NYC? Actually though, I wonder where will all the rats go? Should be exciting to see them heading for higher... apartments? roofs? car garages?! Sounds like something from a sci-fi novel.

Tasmania

Probably not. TNP likes broccoli

Yes, that's true - I think the one that hit that part of Florida was a category 4 or 5, and the structures were wholly inadequate for anything. I've seen some charts of tornado tracks inside hurricanes, oodles of tornadoes actually, but I'm not sure if that's mainly in the more powerful storms. Something to be on the lookout for for sure! ;) That, and occasionally the sharks and electric eels get washed into people's basements. :laugh3:

Should be exciting then! What can you do though?? Hunker down, bathroom plumbing is the last thing to blow away if you're on a ground floor and don't have a basement.. (thinking of the hurricane that hit the panhandle years back.)

Trenton New Jersey:rolleyes::laugh3: Tranquility Bay, the Moon then for T:P (and we should be building a colony there - that's where mankind's future is.)

Is the eye of the storm heading dead center towards where you're at?

Republic of South Sudan.

maybe.. hitting land does tend to take the power level down a few notches.

Site 1 for Landing, Tranquility Bay, Earth's Moon. Seattle, Washington State, United States of America, Planet Earth?

Peru, Inca Land of the Andes.

:vanish: Nairobi Kenya

Liswa, Western Australia.

Meanwhile, the tiny ship was tossed, and if not for the courage of the fearless crew, the minnow would be lost. I guess there's an actual Hurricane barreling down the East Coast, heaven knows if the cities will handle all that water! We shall see.. or sea..

2.75X10^16th Watt-hours, but that's probably a high figure. Hotter then the surface of the sun for a brief flash of time, probably giving off all sorts of radiation! Probably the duration is less, the voltage and amperage is on average much less - that's an extreme I think.. Anyhow, cool to experience! :cool: Lots of UV and Beyond
