hurrican coming my way! pray for me and my family and my unicycle:(
In case power goes out i will miss you guys and gals:(
Put that hurrican in a garbage can. Would that be the one that Weather.com is calling tropical storm Katrina?
I hope you guys don’t get any damage or injury! The same goes for my dad’s winter home in West Palm Beach. Last year it got flooded and they lost their orange tree.
hurrican leval 1 is what it should be at the least when it hit down
Re: hurrican
absa-pasa-tootly, will do.
I saw that on the news, is it realy that close?
Be safe, and careful and all that. Hope it doesnt hit you.
yes i should be fine its not a strong storm. it is planed to hit south West Palm Beach. I live in WPB but the central part of it so the eye will not hit us.
whoa… crazy… i wonder what it would be like to ride a uni in a hurricane… that would be gnar… dont get your head taken off by a rouge roof or anything though… maybe that was a bad idea… dont listen to me…
my house actually got destroyed last year in ivan. the roof caved in and stuff was destroyed. im just hoping it doesnt happen again. red u should go wakeboarding in it.
Wakeboarding???
Are you nuts???
I should go wakeSKATING in it but i had to take my little 10 foot race looking baot out of the warter this morining. but i will go skurfing tomorow.by the way the hurrican turnd south( thats good) poorr poor miami:(
oh ya i went uniing in the hurricane YES
I live in Hobe Sound, about an hour north of where Katrina made landfall near Pompano Beach, and it’s been cool and windy all day. I went to the beach and flew my stunt kite for a little while, earlier today
It’s nice unicycling in the strong winds with the wind at your back.
Never mind this…
Suprisingly the board has been curiously quite about this since it is now a National Disaster. I wonder how many posts and offer to raise funds there would be if it hit somewhere outside the US. Lots of lives lost, over a million people displaced, homes destroyed, businesses that will never reopen… Wheres the love?
I heard several countries, mainly Germany, have offered to help.
Walmart inc. alone has just donated $1,000,000 to the Red Cross in LUA.
Eh, here’s a news article about it:http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2005/08/31/national/a104845D91.DTL
Its said that this is the worst natrual diasaster to hit the US.
I think part of it is people still getting the full picture. Though many of us already know it’s going to be huge and possibly unprecedented in scope, it seems people are holding their breath, hoping it won’t turn out to be so bad maybe?
Unfortunately it already is. Biggest natural disaster ever to hit the country? And we still don’t even know how big yet. Help is needed now. My wife was thinking of the value of filling a car with local donations of food and supplies, and having it driven all the way out there. I told her the gas would cost enough to make that a less-than practical approach, how about jus sending money to the right organizations, like the Red Cross?
Boy am I glad I live in an area not prone to natural disasters (knock wood). Our most likely one is flooding, but at least we’re above sea level. Certain parts of the Sacramento area have flooded multiple times since I’ve moved here. This area is not prone to earthquakes, which is one of the reasons why Intel has a big operation here in Folsom. But earthquakes are still possible. In fact, we’ve even had some tornadoes here, though nothing like what you get in the more tornado-prone states.
One of the scariest things I heard about this disaster is what it will cost in structures. Even many of the buildings that survive all the flooding may have to be torn down, because they will have toxic mold.
Yeah, and the sewer leaking into it all 
On the news I saw one reporter’s camrea showed a spot were brown ‘sewage’ was literally leaking all over the sidewalk. Nasty!
That would be in the early stages of flooding. Since the flood level is way above sewer level, it’s all mixed together. But along with sewage will be gasoline and oil from all the flooded cars, chemicals from flooded businesses, pesticides that may have been on the ground, and anything else the water picks up along the way.
Plus the waters in that part of the country have water mocassins, alligators, and all sorts of other critters you wouldn’t want to meet up with in your underwater living room. All of that is one of the reasons residents are being told not to return to flooded areas.
INXS rocks. They just took the time to mention their concern for all people in the Southern States being impacted by Katrina, and especially New Orleans. They also mentioned that they made a donation to the Red Cross for aid, then encouraged others.
Most anyone else that is famous is blaming all this on us for causing Global Warming. I would say it is more likely our fault for building/overbuilding in areas that are prone to Natural Disasters than me using deodorant.
Now that you can’t get gas, it looks like the global warming issue will correct itself. 
Isnt it ridiculus? Give 'em time, it’ll somehow be ALL Bushes fault.
Not quite… I’m not a big enviromentalist, but I am a liberal libertarian. I donb’t think that Bush is horrible when it comes to the enviroment. The only things i think he did dumb are not signing the kyoto accord, etc. What gets me, is as a big mountain biker and backpacker, is how uber enviromentalists are killing access for mountain biking and oter trails.
