Would be a bit of a bugger if the sell thread got zapped.
It's become a bit of a financial blog.

Slowing trafficA farmer lived on a quiet, rural highway. But, as time went by, the traffic slowly built up at an alarming rate. It became so heavy and so fast that his chickens were being run over at a rate of three to six a day. So he called the sheriff's office and said, "You've got to do something about all of these people driving so fast and killing all of my chickens.""What do you want me to do?" asked the sheriff."I don't care, just do something about these crazy drivers."So the next day the sheriff had the county go out and put up a sign that said: SLOW: SCHOOL CROSSING. Three days later, the farmer again called the sheriff and said, "That sign didn't help a bit. They are still hitting my chickens."So the next day, the county put up a sign that said: SLOW: CHILDREN AT PLAY.Again, no change. So the farmer called and called, every day for three weeks.Finally, he told the sheriff, "Look, your signs are just not working. Mind if I put up one of my own?"The sheriff told him, "Sure thing, let's see if yours works better." ...He was willing to agree to anything to get him to stop those daily calls.Well, the sheriff got no more calls from the farmer. After three weeks, he decided to call the farmer and see how things were going. "Did you put up your sign?""Oh, I sure did. And not one chicken has been killed since. I've got to go. I'm very busy." And he hung up the phone.The sheriff thought to himself, "I'd better go have a look at that sign. There might be something there that we could use to slow down drivers..."So the sheriff drove out to the farmer's house, and he saw the sign. It was on a whole sheet of plywood. Written in large, yellow letters were the words: SLOW: NUDIST COLONY. Sodium Chlorite

^ :think2:

anyway looks like ike finally clearing cuba can't imagine what the country looks like right now they've taken a beating this hurricane season......a category 1 cane now but still has good circulation going for it

we'll see how much it can strengthen in the gulf over the coming days

looks like the target for now set for southern texas

man ike is a big boy

should bring quite a surge with him

looking like high end cat 2 or so at landfall

hopefully ends up going east of galveston/houston although that probably puts ground zero at port arthur where alot of refineries and such are at....not good for gas prices.....

also some mets on forums i lurk during times of hurricanes starting to think they might be doing some cloud seeding with ike....as its not strengthening as much as one would expect with some pretty optimal conditions in the gulf.....below a quote not my words.....

"Wow....mission 29 just took off!!....maybe they are sending so many planes into ike for cloud seeding operations....it would explain the weirdness of this thing!!! "


like china was talking about similiar stuff to fend off rain in shanghei for opening ceremonies

man battling mother nature quite interesting

my god local news saying 40% of the people on galveston island (20,000 people) decided to stay

unreal

this might be really bad as far as loss of life....hopefully not.....

surge of 20 feet or so predicted

and with these big boys surge is usually underpredicted like katrina.....a weakened levee all the way in SE LA has breached due to water from ike......

also wind speeds look like they may be picking up and eye contracting a bit
