I am so ready to cry. We’ve planned an outdoor wedding in a rose garden with an outdoor barbeque at a park and the weather forecast says thunderstorms. We have rain site at the garden thats inside, but obviously not as pretty as the garden…but at the park we’re just under a shelter, but nobody will want to be there if its storming. i can’t believe this…i’ve spent so much money on the barbeque reception.

My wife and I live in a manufactured home in California and are thinking of retiring to a manufactured home community somewhere less expensive. Central Florida sounds nice, but my wife is concerned about hurricanes damaging mobile homes. My view is that there are thousands of people living there in mobile homes, many for decades now, and only a tiny number get hit. Also, I believe that a new manufactured home is almost as hurricane resistant as a site-built home. Can anyone living in a manufactured home in Florida share any opinion?

How large are these mid-latitude cyclones?

It will cover only one state at a time.
It will cover several states/thousands of miles..
The maximum width would be only one mile.

Does it make a difference if it is just the motor that needs to be replaced and does the timing make a difference in cost as well? Does anyone know a ball park range of how much it would be? It is for a large (13ft) window that is an electric roll down metal panel.

i need them to be for free (its for aproject)

Do you have supplies stockpiled, and are you also prepared mentally?

Jasper-Style Lynching in Paris, Texas!

Jasper-Style Lynching! Reporting on the Grounds in Paris, Texas
Reposted from: Brother Jesse Blog

Written by Jesse Muhammad

On Saturday, October 4, I received a serious phone call from Krystal Muhammad of the New Black Panther Party (NBPP) in regards to a possible dragging death in Paris, Texas which is located about five hours north of Houston. The first thing that immediately came to my mind was that 2008 is the tenth anniversary of the lynching of James Byrd, Jr. in Jasper, Texas. Liken unto that case, the victim in Paris was said to be a 24-year-old Black man and his killers were two White men.

I immediately Googled the town and saw that there were only a handful of media outlets that had covered the story which involved Brandon McClelland and these two White males. One reason possibly that there was hardly any coverage was that this killing took place on September 16, which was the tail end of Hurricane Ike hitting landfall so I am sure the town officials were hoping this would be swept under the rug. Too bad, because the Final Call is on top of it!

Sister Kyrtle told me that members of the NBPP Dallas Chapter were on the grounds already to meet with the family. So myself, Sis Krystle and my older brother Deric Muhammad hit the road on Sunday, October 5 to do some on the grounds work to see what really happened.

After a five hour drive, we arrived in the ‘hood of Paris. We then caravaned over to the home of the McClelland family where Brandon’s mother sat on the porch with tears in her eyes. Ms. Jacqueline McClelland and her family gave recorded statements to me for my Final Call story as well as the NBPP for an independent investigation. We were also joined by local activists, a head of the State NAACP chapter and other friends of the family.

After hearing their accounts, it was verified that her son was dragged on the back of a pickup truck by these two White males and his body was dismembered. Jasper all over again. Afterwards we drove over to the grave site.

We then went to the scene of the crime in Lamar County. You would not believe that parts of that Brandon McClelland’s skull was still out there on the ground! Shows how much the police cared. It was like an episode of CSI:NY with blood tracks up and down the road and tire marks chased by the blood trails. This was one of the most painful stories I have had to cover in person.

They tied my son to that truck and drugged him until his body parts were detached", said his mother Jacqueline McClelland to the Final Call. "His body was so destroyed that it could not even be embalmed by the funeral home. This is a hate crime. I don’t want the death penalty for these killers because that would be too quick. I want them to suffer for life in jail without parole since I will never have my son back."

Read my entire story in next week’s edition of the Final Call Newspaper.

Venereal: It wasn’t verified? They have pictures of the scene. I wouldn’t have asked the question if it didn’t happen.

i live on the southwest coast…which is basically where it’s projected to.
i’m used to super bad hurricanes. do you think fay will turn into at least a category 3 hurricane? or is too early to tell?

thanks!
i’ll keep watching the news/weather channel though :) yah usually they never turn out thaaat bad.
(except for katrina obviously)
the worst one for me was charley.

The following table lists the number of U.S. mainland hurricane strikes (from 1900 to 1996) for various intensities according to the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale.
Intensity Number of Hurricanes
1 57
2 37
3 47
4 15
5 2

Construct a probability distribution of the data.
Find the mean, variance, and standard deviation fo the probability distribution.
Find the probability that a hurricane selected at random for further study has an intensity of at least 4.

Like Hurricane/flood insurance and stuff.

will the National Hurricane Center retired the name? Dont they usually do for monster storms such as Katrina and Camille?

Extreme tornado video footage clips of the violent and deadly Oklahoma and Kansas tornado outbreak on May 4, 2007, the same day Greensburg Kansas was hit by a violent F5 tornado. This footage was shot in NW Oklahoma just hours before the Greensberg twister. Storm chasing journalist Warren Faidley shot this tornado video footage. Extreme Weather Journalist Faidley as seen in VOA TV special. Faidley, recently called America’s “Top Storm Chaser” by MSNBC, is one of the few journalists and …

Living on the Gulf Coast we have to watch the weather all the time, can not avoid it. Last time one was heading here I couldn’t remember what emergency supplies to buy, I froze. I have lived here all my like and I couldn’t remember anything. I am trying not to panic as the Season approachs. But it’s hard. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you all.

I will be experiencing my first hurricane season as a homeowner and would like to know good storm/hurricane shutters to protect my windows. My home is built of stucco and I’m aware of potenetial hazards from drilling/nailing into stucco. Any suggestions?

How strong was Hurricane Ivan when it hit the Caribbean? When it hit Florida?
ive been searching google…when it hit the carribean was it a level 4 or 5?
and florida?….i havent found anything on when it hit florida…

Our neighbors just lost everything they own in a fire from a house that was struck by lightning. No one was injured, but they are just in the first few days of figuring out how to get their life moving again. I’d like to coordinate a donation and support center for them and will start with a blog and our local church.

Does anybody have any other thoughts or recommendations of groups or organizations that help families with rebuilding?

Red Cross has already been in contact, is there anything else?
