This storm is now 430 miles wide...I have experienced many hurricanes in my 30 years and I just have a bad feeling about this one. Its almost certain I will have no power tomorrow at this time...heck I just hope I have a house tomorrow at this time. It's almost game time! I will report back as soon as I get back online.

Back on topic...I think if we see major damage we will see the PMs dip. Just like when it hit Japan, and the Japanese sold, sold, sold, to get rebuilding cash. Remember one of the reasons for PMS is for that day after "the dark and stormy night".

I'm inbetween Greenville and Wilson. I have the bottle waters, candels, batteries for flashlights, and everything has been brought inside or secured. - Connor Don't forget the multi-band battery or hand crank powered radio. Might be able to pick up some useful info from it. |

This link here says the 10th billion dollar disaster of 2011, passing the prior recored set in 2008. Again, I am not "the world is gonna end guy", but the numbers do point to an unstable planet, nothing more than just a cycle of sorts IMO.... http://news.yahoo.com/hurricane-ire...2603576.htmlMy thoughts an prayers go out to the entire east coast, hang in there an keep us posted when you can.... I am watching CNN, an already a tragedy has occured. God be with the lost and their family.... |

I guess the flooding was bad in some areas, floods can be very bad destruction. Glad the wind wasn't too bad.

Well, that's just it, Hawk... the Earth has NEVER been a soft, warm, or fuzzy place. It is a relatively harsh and quite variable environment... and it has been for billions of years. It has to be or there would not be a sufficient driving force for adaptive evolution, which we see all around us. The Earth is not a static environment but it is a dynamic one. It is always changing, whether that be from excessive heat or cold, high winds, excess precipitation, earthquakes, lightning, volcanoes, meteorites, tornadoes, or hurricanes. There literally is always something going on and a lot of it is kick a**... and usually ours. We haven't had an ice age in a while but they too are recurring phenomena. In fact, we are over-due for one of them. Heh, maybe it is all this carbon burning that we are doing that is holding that off? No one really knows. What we do know, however, is that we get immediate news from all over the world now, so when anything happens, we know about it very quickly. The psychological effect of this is that it seems as if there is a lot more going on now, when in fact there is probably the same amount as always. As to the Earth ending... everything ends. Just a matter of time... and thermodynamics.  |

Heh, maybe it is all this carbon burning that we are doing that is holding that off? No one really knows. Heard an interesting theory about our carbon output putting off the coming cyclic ice age. So, do we let the carbon run and put off the freeze over until we run out of carbon, or do we cut carbon output so the possibility to use it to put off the next cold snap is available, some thousands of years later. I'm of the cynic side and don't see us doing much at all if any long term planing if no immediate profits are involved. Might not be a bad idea for the longevity of the species for the monetary system to crash and overhaul. Maybe we'd get it right the next time, |

Satellite images show what appears to be a city lost in the antarctic, which was in theory devoured buy the topside shifting land plate.... I read somewhere a few years back that the oldest known map of the world (Egyptian) showed the coastline of Antarctica as it is UNDER the ice cap. That suggests several things. First, population, which fits in with the city you noted. Second, a warmer planet, and no ice cap on Antarctica. Third, world travel, millenia before Columbus. I wonder what the global warming nuts would say if a forest was found under the Antarctic ice. |

Probably they would say they were right. They say they are right no matter what, they just call it "climate change" so that they can play every bet.

Well I am back up and running. Power was restored late last night. Spent yesterday assessing the damage to my properties. Very minimal damage to report. I have a damaged section of fence in my yard and have to remove 5 trees and put a piece of vinyl siding back up on my garage. Took me a whole 45 minutes to clean up the dozen or so small limbs down at my coastal home which was only about 15 miles from the eye of the storm. My neighbor, who is a shrimper and gives me great deals on 50lb boxes of fresh shrimp, didn't far as well. He had 2 very large oak trees fall on his house. He lost part of his facade and a window.
