POST FAST - Randall's not here!

[Quickurt]

All of us in hurricane land don't consider that even the remnants can be serious for areas not used to getting the full hit of the storms. After the long, cold (global warming, my ass) winter, the late fast thaw and very wet spring and summer, something like Ike coming through the midwest was the last thing you guys needed. For all the hype of the GW crowd, real climatologists explain the differential between hot and cold is what causes radical weather. Warming would settle it down, not make it worse.

Gee, and we only had 6 to 8" of rain over the weekend here in Chicagoland...my house sits high on a hill, but many were not so lucky. Hope all those affected by Ike are OK and lives get back to normal (if there is such a thing).
