Reply #7: Yeah, and I enjoyed tracking Katrina, and watching the satellite imagery of it. Beyond that, we can

do nothing about storms like this. They talk about experimenting with cooling the ocean waters or seeding clouds, or trying to alter the atmosphere to create low pressure systems to push storms away or make them hit "less populated areas," but I think much of that is fantasy.

Katrina caused a lot of damage, but less damage than development patterns, marsh destruction, and Bush administration negligence did.

Why would I blame the storm? Hurricanes have been hitting the United States forever.

I still like Hurricane Season. It's a rush. Now, I'm terrified of tornados.

People fear things they don't understand. Hurricanes, you have weeks to track most of them. Tornados just spring up out of nowhere. We need to rebuild natural barriers to prevent storm surge, and rethink development patterns. If people want that prime real estate on the coast, then it comes with a price.
