I never believed in orbs myself until I caught some on camera. This picture was taken after a tornado just missed our house and took out our shed.

No it wasnt raining or snowing. And this was years ago and I still have this camera, and it’s never taken photos of orbs since that day so how could it be dust particles if it takes fine pictures now? I’m not saying I think these are ghosts for sure, but I’m not for sure what they could be. If anyone has a scientific explanation for these, please share.
also I have more pictures from this day of these orbs and they are in different places in the picture so it can’t be something stuck on the lens.
oh and tb, the camera I used for these pics was a point and shoot digital, no settings available to change aperture.

it was meant to be a 1 but it was worse than that! eveyone had mold and shattered windows and blue tarps. a 1 cant even blow down a big tree. so was it cat 2,3, 4, or 5?

Ok, I am 18 years old with a sibling that keeps leaving the doors unlock. So my mother decided it would but good to bult lock the doors before she goes to bed. So I can no longer go outside at night or go out without being able to stay out late. I would have to come back to my house by midnight or im just fucked. I have no key. She thinks I will let my little sister outside. She does not trust me even though I have never own a key. So the question is how would I get out of my house? I have no windows. They are all hurricane windows with shutters. Would I be able to unscrew the bolted doors without making any noise. Would the doors even open lol. I can get an escape ladder cause the windows up stairs are not shuttered up. But I just broke my clavical bone so I’m not sure if thats a good idea. Atleast a safe idea. And I think the bolted doors are drilled in. I DONT KNOW.. I need megga help. I cant live like this. I cant live in a cage. I just fucking graduated and want to party.
Lol and I cant move out. I dont make enough money and cant get another job. I’m in a bit of a mess right now so I cant get another job. I would like one to get out of here though

1)why might the fed want to decrease the money supply? 2)why are checking account balances,but not credit cards,regardedas "money"? 3)in what ways do future generations benefit from this generations deficit spending?cite three examples? 4)how do you close an inflationary GDP gap? 5)why would a hurricane depress consumer confidence?

Basic shelter, for walls and a roof against the weather. At least to spend a night with dignity. Simple food. Scrambled eggs, pancakes, tang. It would return dignity to people. Solar heated shower would not cost a lot to run. This set up would not deter people from working, I am sure.

I am 55 yrs and always been socially conscious. Homelessness as a lifestyle did not exist in America until Reagan. The first wave were the mentally ill, released from care and unable to fend for themselves.

I am asking because we are in Florida where that storm is growing over us. Well,… I just watched the news and they said that it can turn into a cyclone. That made no sense to me.. why wouldnt it become a tropical storm or a hurricane? I hope you can clear this one up.

Last Rites for Indian Dead by Suzan Shown Harjo

What if museums, universities, and government agencies could put your dead relatives on display or keep them in boxes to be cut up and otherwise studied? What if you believed that the spirits of the dead could not rest until their human remains were placed in a sacred area? The ordinary American would say there ought to be a law—and there is, for ordinary Americans. The problem for American Indians is that there are too many laws of the kind that make us the archeological property of the United States and too few of the kind that protect us from such insults. Some of my own Cheyenne relatives’ skulls are in the Smithsonian Institution today, along with those of at least 4,500 other Indian people who were violated in the 1800s by the U.S. Army for an “Indian Crania Study.” It wasn’t enough that these unarmed Cheyenne people were mowed down by the cavalry at the infamous Sand Creek massacre; many were decapitated and their heads shipped to Washington as freight. (The Army Medical Museum’s collection is now in the Smithsonian.) Some had been exhumed° only hours after being buried. Imagine their grieving families’ reaction on finding their loved ones disinterred° and headless. Some targets of the Army’s study were killed in noncombat situations and beheaded immediately. The officer’s account of the decapitation of the Apache chief Mangas Coloradas in 1863 shows the pseudoscientific nature of the exercise. “I weighed the brain and measured the skull,” the good doctor wrote, “and found that while the skull was smaller, the brain was larger than that of Daniel Webster.” These journal accounts exist in excruciating detail, yet missing are any records of overall comparisons, conclusions, or final reports of the Army study. Since it is unlike the Army not to leave a paper trail, one must wonder about the motive for its collection. The total Indian body count in the Smithsonian collection is more than 19,000, and it is not the largest in the country. It is not inconceivable that the 1.5 million of us living today are outnumbered by our dead stored in museums, educational institutions, federal agencies, state historical societies, and private collections. The Indian people are further dehumanized by being exhibited alongside the mastodons and dinosaurs and other extinct creatures. Where we have buried our dead in peace, more often than not the sites have been desecrated. For more than two hundred years, relic-hunting has been a popular pursuit. Lately, the market in Indian artifacts has brought this abhorrent activity to a fever pitch in some areas. And when scavengers come upon Indian burial sites, everything found becomes fair game, including sacred burial offerings, teeth, and skeletal remains.One unusually well-publicized example of Indian grave desecration occurred two years ago in a western Kentucky field known as Slack Farm, the site of an Indian village five centuries ago. Ten men—one with a business card stating “Have Shovel, Will Travel”—paid the landowner ,000 to lease digging rights between planting seasons. They dug extensively on the forty-acre farm, rummaging through an estimated 650 graves, collecting burial goods, tools, and ceremonial items. Skeletons were strewn about like litter. What motivates people to do something like this? Financial gain is the first answer. Indian relic-collecting has become a multimillion-dollar industry. The price tag on a bead necklace can easily top ,000; rare pieces fetch tens of thousands. And it is not just collectors of the macabre° who pay for skeletal remains. Scientists say that these deceased Indians are needed for research that someday could benefit the health and welfare of living Indians. But just how many dead Indians must they examine? Nineteen thousand? There is doubt as to whether permanent curation of our dead really benefits Indians. Dr. Emery A. Johnson, former assistant Surgeon General, recently observed, “I am not aware of any current medical diagnostic or treatment procedure that has been derived from research on such skeletal remains. Nor am I aware of any during the thirty-four years that I have been involved in American Indian . . . health care.” Indian remains are still being collected for racial biological studies. While the intentions may be honorable, the ethics of using human remains this way without the full consent of relatives must be questioned. Some relief for Indian people has come on the state level. Almost half of the states, including California, have passed laws protecting Indian burial sites and restricting the sale of Indian bones, burial offerings, and other sacred items. Rep. Charles E. Bennett (D-Fla.) and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) have introduced bills that are a good start in invoking the federal government’s protection. However, no legislation has attacked the problem headon by imposing stiff penalties at the marketplace, or by changing laws that make dead Indians the nation’s property. Some universities—notably Stanford, Nebraska, Minnesota, and Seattle—have returned, or agreed to return, Indian human remains; it is fitting that institutions of higher education should lead the way.Congress is now deciding what to do with the government’s extensive collection of Indian human remains and associated funerary objects. The secretary of the Smithsonian, Robert McC. Adams, has been valiantly° attempting to apply modern ethics to yesterday’s excesses. This week, he announced that the Smithsonian would conduct an inventory and return all Indian skeletal remains that could be identified with specific tribes or living kin. But there remains a reluctance generally among collectors of Indian remains to take action of a scope that would have a quantitative impact and a healing quality. If they will not act on their own—and it is highly unlikely that they will—then Congress must act. The country must recognize that the bodies of dead American Indian people are not artifacts to be bought and sold as collector’s items. It is not appropriate to store tens of thousands of our ancestors for possible future research. They are our family. They deserve to be returned to their sacred burial grounds and given a chance to rest. The plunder of our people’s graves has gone on too long. Let us rebury our dead and remove this shameful past from America’s future.

Im taking a family vacation to the keys (key largo and key west) and also going to miami. We are leaving July 26th, will we be affected by Hurricane Bertha?

Ok thank you so i now know hurricanes are a clear danger in miami!!! and the best thing to do is evacuate, but who is responsibel for the apartment, must i put the storm shutters and everything else on the apt?
Thanks
Jeff

This is part 3 of my videos of Hurricane Charley. This is by far the worst part of the hurricane. I am in Bonita Springs, Florida. The worst of this storm occurred about 45 to 50 miles to the north of Bonita Springs at Punta Gorda, Port Charlotte and Charlotte Harbor in Charlotte County. Hear the sound of the wind and see how amazingly strong this hurricane was even 45 and 50 miles to the south of where the worst of Charley occurred.

I am moving again. I am looking for a new apartment. What would be the best tornado shelter?
An older building with a basement that may not be up to current codes.
A newer buidling with tons of windows yet the lower level is made up of brick?(or it may just be a brick facade?)
A mall ten minutes away with a designated storm shelter yet in severe weather could take up to 25 minutes to get to.
A chain of department stores that are one level that have a concrete area that is 3 minutes in good weather and 6 minutes in bad.
A hospital tht is 2 minutes in good and 5 in bad.There is no basement in the last 2 or the apartments.
The apartments are not concrete and there is no storm shelter.
Which is the best solution?
I need some better suggestions I live in Kansas City, mo.I am open to any and all suggestions.
I know what makes a safe tornado shelter but only one of the above meets the critea and it is too far.
The walls needs to be concrete steels bars are best. Below ground is preferred and no windows.
I am sick of always picking apartments based upon this critea.
Does anyone know?

A certain individual asked a "question" the other day about FSU grad student Ryan Maue’s Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) data. He asked for an explanation why Maue’s data is at a 30 year low while hurricane intensity is supposed to be increasing.

I had previously asked a question about this, because Maue’s data contradicts NOAA’s data. I explained in my answer the discrepancy, and that Maue has written a paper attempting to reconcile the differences between his and NOAA’s ACE data, but it hasn’t yet been published. In other words, the individual’s question can’t be answered until this paper is published.

The individual in question said I have "an excuse for everything" and was "attacking the author [Maue]", then chose a "best answer" which didn’t really answer the question, provided zero scientific evidence, and was really nothing more than an ad hominem attack against "alarmists".
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AraW4CLQnL.tOcsPnJp.8y4S.Rd.;_ylv=3?qid=20091101063014AA1VScJ

Clearly no matter what the explanation was, this individual was going to blindly accept Maue’s data because it showed him what he wanted to see - an apparent contradiction with AGW.

I know certain people object to the term "denier", but how else would you define this kind of behavior other than denial?

Yesterday, I saw many signs & boxes about donating food & school supplies to places, like Africa & Honduras. But do other countries do that for us when our country is struggling? I understand that those are poor countries, but I’m just curious.

People cared more about the tsunami in Asia than they cared abut Hurricanes Katrina & Rita. Why is that?
Yeah. That’s what I’m saying. People here in the US didn’t care about the disasters of their own country.

In June, 2007 Elie Manitoba, is hit with an F5 tornado - it was the strongest tornado to ever touch down in Canada. Wind speeds reached over 400 kms/hr. While a category F0 will see minor damage and has a relative frequency of nearly 40% a category F5 will cause severe damage, hurling objects such as automobiles through the air like missles and has a relative frequency of less than 0.1%. Miraculously, in the Elie tornado, no one was killed. Pictures set to Eli’s Coming - Three Dog Night…

Insane Deadly Tornado Video!!! F4/5 tornado outbreak on 5-4-03 in southeast Kansas. This tornado was a long track tornado that devestated the towns of Girard and Franklin KS. We got the storm before it went severe and were able to film baseball size hail and the monster deadly tornado.

I live in South Florida. West Palm Beach to be exact. And from the looks of it Ike is coming this way. I am a mom with a 2 1/2 year old and my daughter will be 1 the 20th of this month. My husband is like retarded when it comes to this. We have metal awnings for shutters and we have hard wood floors that have gaps. This house was built in the 60’s too. How do I know if this place is safe? I am afraid for my kids. I mean what do I do? How do I make my hubby understand?

A usually quiet U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Cemetery, has been unusually active lately. The National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona is a beautiful 225 acre facility located in Phoenix.

For the past 30-45 days in the early hours of the morning until sunset, a massive construction operation has been underway. Major amounts of earth have been excavated out about 9-10 feet deep and 600-1000 feet wide. There is multiple locations on the property like this. From the satellite view there appears to be more sections that have been covered with the concrete lids and backfilled to look as if nothing is there. ABC rock is put in place under the burial vaults for good drainage and solid bedding. This will help not contaminate ground water sources from decomposition of human bodies.

The cleanliness of the heavy equipment operation and the large perfect cuts of earth is im pressive. These Massive concrete boxes are transported from a nearby storage yard on various privately owned flatbed semi-trucks, then unloaded and put into place a half mile away at the actual mass grave site. They are installed tight together side by side with no space in between.

An interview was conducted between my friend and a truck driver involved in this operation. After beating around the bush for ten minutes, the driver admitted “ I got paid a whole lot of money to speak good english.” Take it for what it’s worth but that sounds suspect. The truck driver also admitted “Each burial vault holds four caskets.”
I took note that if caskets were not used you could fit 40 bodies or more in each one.

So if these were to hold four troops each and the truck driver did know what he was talking about; this would mean that there are plans in advance for over 4000 U.S. soldiers deaths.

If these are not to contain caskets and only bodies are inserted there could be room for over 40,000 civilians bodies.

See additional photos: photo 1, photo 2, photo 3, photo 4.

Editor’s note: On February 11, 2009, D. H. Williams, writing for the Daily Newscaster, reported on the revelations of an Indiana county municipal official in the vicinity of Chicago who revealed how FEMA and DHS were attempting to prepare “county officials to prepare a Hazard Mitigation Plan to deal with flooding, fires, high winds and tornadoes.”

“FEMA inquired to where mass graves could be placed in the county and would they accept bodies from elsewhere,” writes Williams.

The vinyl will wear out from weather and bird poop. I am thinking of either sourcing or making some hard tops that I can store inside the camper….perhaps fiberglass material that would mold/fasten over the support bars on the ends of the camper. This would make the pop up a more rugged shelter in harsher weather conditions. I’m looking to save money. Any ideas?

According to the Saffir-Simpson scale a Category 3 hurricane has a storm surge generally 9-12 ft above normal. However, in actuality, Hurricane Katrina had a maximum storm surge peak of 27.8 ft at Pass Christian. With the data indicating it’s storm surge was between 24-28 ft. Yet it was only a Category 3….

i live on the part right in front of the seawall. like i look out my window and there is the ocean. i live on the second floor. im just wondering if they are ok and my apartments ok. some reporter told my mom that they are ok but idk, im just wondering.

Cold-core cyclones and cyclones that are not pushed by the jet stream and just stay there are victims of this weather effect.

I think "fujiwaras" means the storm tries to move but goes only in a very slow CCW motion…the whole cyclone……but the storm still stays there and does not go away without any significant push at all.
