« A case of libel? | Main | RESFEST 2004 » HurricanesLooks like Hurricane Jeanne will come in right behind Ivan, projected landfall is Sunday, probably striking Florida or the Gulf Coast. This series of four back to back hurricanes will strain systems - probably beyond the areas that are getting slammed. As one who's been concerned for several years about global climate change, I find myself wondering if this will be an annual problem and grow worse. It's certainly the sort of thing we've expected to see as an effect of warming trends and shifting climate, though on the other hand it's not unprecedented to have multiple hurricane strikes in a season, and there have certainly been hurricanes as intense as Ivan, Frances, and Charley. What's troubling is the proximity of storms, one right after the other, and the fact that each storm is high-intensity. Of course we're not thinking enough about mitigation yet. jon posted this at 11:07 PM |
