On topic, some people have said this wasn't that bad a hurricane but try telling that to the people still without power for day number 4 now and the one's that had their basements flooded out. I don't know about other areas of the world but here most basements are finished so that just compounds things even more.

Well the effects of the hurricane weren't all bad. Engrish_Major

I would actually call that sad really. It looks like you are being sarcastic, but still, even if the beach was that trashed before the storm, that garbage ended up in the ocean and is an environmental catastrophe. All the flood waters from the storm also end up in the same place, but with raw sewage added to it.

Katia is next. It is expected to go form tropical storm to hurricane later today. And is expected to become a major hurricane before reaching the Caribbean. This one is concerning, because it developed quickly and far away that it has plenty of time to just get stronger. The future track is uncertain, but it is currently right on hurricane alley.

[QUOTE="Dracula68"]Yeah I just saw a pic and it looks really formed already which is never a good sign.Michael0134567

Tropical Storm Katia has all the relevant information you seek.

Also, 45 have lost their lives due to Irene so far. Damages are expected to exceed $10B. Irene affected a large area and due to some places already being waterlogged, the rain from the storm had no where to go, hence the extent of the flooding being as large as it is.

Due to natural processes such as the Trade Winds and the Westerlies and oceanographic happenstance, this is the time of year that the US encounters hurricanes. Same with the western Pacific and Asian countries with typhoons.

The Weather Channel's historical hurricane tracker is really neat. You can adjust it to any period of time you want to see how often hurricanes hit during a certain period of time. Case in point in 79, only 3 hurricanes/tropical storms hit the US. It really is a cool tool.

That's the way the world is. These things have been going on long before we ever settled the East Cost like we have. They'll go on after we've killed ourselves off.
