Hurricane Dennis

Dennis took 32 lives (Ivan took 29 last year) in Haiti and Cuba and passed to a 4th category this morning.

Quote:

"Category 4 is not just a little bit worse - it's much worse," Max Mayfield, director of the National Hurricane Center in Miami told The Associated Press

"Damage increases exponentially as the wind speed increases. And no matter where it makes actual landfall, it's going to have a tremendous impact well away from the center."

Our mother nature is in a very bad mood again. I hope she'll calm down soon.

Only one additional life lost due to Dennis here in Florida - someone stepped on a downed power line after the storm.

Just remember - Global warming is a myth and a complete fabrication by liberal commies.
Make sure you repeat this mantra as the ice caps melt & Florida becomes New Atlantis...

Global warming is a serious problem nowadays.
