      yes i feel like there was an undercoverage of Michael, perhaps because there wasn't a lot of buildup for it and it all happened really fast. Many people don't think back to last year and say: hey we just had one of the strongest landfalls in american history and no one's talking about it!"

    Do these folks have a good water cycle model because thats the crux of this entire hurricane business. What are the various components of the water cycle and just knowing the hurricane is not good enough . What the bottomlie is how can we dissipate the hurricane before it hits land. Any thoughts about it. Even crazy ones will do.

If our earths climate is ever 'changing'...due only to man's 'irresponsibility'...why do storms like Fiona fall off the media 'radar'? Why are 'experts' not 24/7 promoting stuff like prep supplies and such? Why do ppl who say human breath is a 'pollutant' and seas are rising quickly, keep buying coastal properties?
