The way time seems to fly so fast, it will soon be hurricane season again, before we know it!

Here’s hoping it won’t be too bad this season.

I missed the actual hurricane but can only guess how awful it must be to have gone through it.

Kiko,
I have been checking on maroonspoon periodically.
Stormpulse is great. A coworker shared that one with me recently.

After a busy month, I am glad the storm activity has slowed for the moment.

Thanks 2bucks. I’m still watching them! I added the McCain Lobbyist link to my blog too–I’m collecting all the good bits from here and there.

Have you see the StormPulse site? Scroll/drag around the tracking map to see what’s cooking out there.

I added you to my bloglist, 2Bucks. I’m another hurricane/political junkie, in Pennsylvania.

W. Butler,
Very well put. Having been through Andrew (and other weaker storms the last couple of years) I have seen what these storms can do. Add the levies breaking and the flooding and the last thing you expect is the government letting you down.
It’s amazingly sad that the politicians use these disasters as photo ops. The Bush Brothers actually had ice withheld from the people that needed it so they could get their picture.

I survived Katrina and have just watched part of Spike Lees documentary while thinking about Gustav. I am glad to see that Spike Lee has the passion and concern to record and display such needed footage. As a survivor of this calamity, I am stirred in my soul when I see what a disaster, nature could bring upon a nation. However, the insult that was added to injury is my purpose for composing this message. I believe that those who don’t study history are doomed to repeat it. Therefore, my prayer is that such a moralistic decay in the fragile framework of our great nation, will be realized and remembered.

I have a great deal of lowly happiness, for those who were not there to witness this tragedy. For they will never know the feelings or despair brought on by the hurricanes. Nor, will they know the mind shattering devastation caused by the lack of government response. It was like being violated, disrespected, hurt, tortured, and finally killed. just to be brought back to life for a repeat of the offense each day. Except this offense was done by someone who you respect, love and trust. Of course, all of this takes place while you are starving and so thirsty, that the toxic water looks tempting to drink. The worst part is that those we love and trusted with the power to help us were elected from among us, to speak for and defend us, to an end the came all to late: and has changed the way I view my beloved government of the United States of America.
