I have personal data and sensitive business information on my computer. I have an external drive for backup, but I am also looking to backup certain fiiles online. I am in a hurricane sensitive state and feel I need more protection. I have had virus issues and I lost data recently and had to recreate it manually even though it was backed up. On an attempt to restore, the backup files were corrupted and not everything was transferred.

condenses into tiny droplets that form clouds or all of these?

Gthat he can now order weather patterns to change and can direct cyclones into the paths of his enemies!!!

Or do any of you realize that weather patterns have been screwy for thousands of years with warm periods and ice ages and will continue to be screwy as long as earth exists?

You guys often sound sort of like the Church lady on the old Saturday Night Live show - Remember that? Just replace the word Satan with the word Bush and you guys would sound just like that!!!
That is how ridiculous I think you are!

I like anytihng that’s new. Well, mostly anything that’s new. I like songs like low, do you know, pictures of you, crushcrushcrush, how far we’ve come, cyclone, time after time, and some disney channel songs. please gelp me. thanks!!
pleaes help me, not gelp me
please help me, not gelp me

I live on the east cost (Virginia) and was just watching the weather. I realized that every year I hear about named tropical storms and hurricane’s in the Atlantic, but I’ve never heard of one in the Pacific. Why?

People that live in coastal areas answer this question.

Do you even have an escape or evacuation plan if a hurricane comes? Or a hurricane kit and hurricane shutters? Do you have a house built to withstand a hurricane? Please answer my questions.
Thanks!

What do we really need to survive: Air, water, food, shelter or protection from the weather, the sun and this planet that holds us all. The absence of any one of these, will mean the end our existence for sure. Without gold and money, nothing will physically happen to us. But what do you think will happen? Would the things that we do in our everyday life still make sense?

Ride Hamilton shows the SECOND intense video excerpt from his in-progress Hurricane Katrina Documentary. The only tapestry of stories filmed LIVE as it was happening. THIS PODCAST: Ride evacuates Robert Smallwood to the Convention Center, leaving him to be airlifted out. Elsewhere… Every morning Capt. Kenneth Kirsch sends out several Urban Search and Rescue teams to scour EVERY SINGLE HOUSE in New Orleans for bodies and those that might be left behind. Ruel Douvillier leads his USAR unit …

I know the answer. I just wanted to see if you did. The answer is that there is an endless supply of northerners that come to the state after selling their home. So real estate agents/ sellers in Florida can ALMOST charge anything they want. But those folks that move down here usually don’t know the downside to Florida. They don’t know how bad a hurricane really is, or that the cost of living down here is much higher than they thought, or that wages are low, or that crime can be very high, or that social services are not the greatest because od a low tax base, or that homeowners insurance is the highest in the nation, or that the sense of community is not very tight, or that the public schools rank quite low, or that etc… You can’t really warn them beforehand. Gotta find out the hard way like me.
It really isn’t like Disney World.
And also, employers always have an endless new crop of employees to choose from. Keeps the wages low.

But has no problem giving billions to defense contractors to build a police training facility in Iraq that was condemned as unsafe shortly after completed.

Pork is fine if it is going to Iraqis and defense contractors, but not to Americans in need?

When is a good time to travel to Bahamas to avoid hurricane season.

Given the tremendous amount of resources,already in place there, it would be a natural evolution to act as a center to co-ordinate specific needs being directed to those who need them. This is a perfect time to act ,as a unified nation, for the common cause of fellow americans, in need of help.
To 1mike;-I was speaking of the RNC site in St. Paul, MN. Its’ ready and waiting to begin world-class ,live broadcasting. To ignore the american catastrophe poised to destroy our southern gulf coast, in this reguard, is akin to the catastrophe of catrina. Is the media and the president going to sit on thier hands once more?

(other than plywood).

any thoughts?

What would the new picture be? I think mine would be a pic of outer space. Like a lavender & ebony hurricane of stars slowly swirling, slowly spinning, always. Like some eternal, slow-churning galactic cyclone roaring thunderously in silence forevermore.

Adrift on a sea of stars, so pretty; each twinkle of the stars the kiss of an angel, and each nova the quickening beat of my heart at the touch of the lips of my beloved. *sigh*

What about you?

Ps I love you all!

The Lindsey Family from Indianapolis lost everything when a tornado destroyed their home. At that time, they were saving to buy a home. Through the help of the United Way, they were able to get back on their feet and buy a home.

example : west winds at 16 mph are blowing from the west or to the west

Our rescue had lots of small pastures where the rescue horses were and the shelters were small, but now were moving to NY and aquiring a 75 acre pasture with 80 horses in it: How big should the shelter be and what kind of shelter should it be…we where thinking like a barn with doors all around that can be shut when we put the horses in there for bad weather. Any Ideas? PLEASE HELP!
Oh. and we hare scatering 3 sided shelters around the pasture.

the hurricane shutter contractor installed shutters in our ocean front bldg, using galvanized instead of stainless steel.

What can we expect for a life expectancy’s for the galvanized vs, the stainless steel. and isn’t it wrong for the contractor to have done this as htey knew that the installation was to be on the oceanl

I need to replace diseased trees with one that is fast growing, for shade, but is safe during hurricane winds.
Palm trees give little to no shade and crape myrtles don’t get very big here in central Florida. I’m looking for something to block the afternoon sun from heating up my backyard, lanai and house. I had 3 pine trees there, and they blocked the afternoon sun, but they were diseased and had to be removed.
