    The infrastructure should have been in place by the time Ike hit. Ike was technically a miss and still caused $30 + billion in damages.

    This is horrifying and completely sobering.

    With temperatures rising, we can expect storms to get more frequent and stronger as the years go on.

    These few months out of the year are getting to be a bit much to handle and It honestly may be time for me to head a bit north.

    Can the ISS not just drop a big ice cube in the gulf?

    You guys remember the blue shed guy? He's broadcasting from Hackberry, LA and the water is already coming up. He's going to head north.

    Greenland and Antarctica are working hard at melting ice fast enough to cool the oceans. It might have some other consequences though.

    Yeah, it may be old info for that ship. Hopefully they made it. There are a bunch of these vessel tracking sites out there - I had no idea. I have to add these to my list of "time wasting sites". :D
