  • Hurricane Katrina 4th Strongest Atlantic Hurricane

    There's plenty of blame to go around. But for now it makes me sick to hear people point blame at anyone person or group, especially when people are still being pulled from that mess.


    In these situations the chain of command (responsibility) starts at the local level!


    Mayor > Governor > Federal.


    The local authorities are the first responders...


    If I remember right, the national guard (in each state) is under the control of the governor of that particular state. It appears that the local authorities couldn't execute their own disaster plan.


    Well, that's all I have to say about it, I've been seeing people on TV throwing blame at others, so when I read the same thing here I just felt the need to post.


    I'm thankful that a friend (and his family) made it thru the storm and flood. That's really all that matters to me.

  • Hurricane Katrina 4th Strongest Atlantic Hurricane


    Hurricane Katrina is an extremely dangerous Category 5 storm on the Saffir-Simpson scale. Maximum sustained winds are at 175 mph. Katrina continues not only grow stronger, but it continues to grow larger. Hurricane-force winds extend 90 miles from the center on the eastern side of Katrina, 75 miles to the northwest and 50 miles to the southwest. Sustained tropical storm force winds are not far from the Gulf Coast and should move in later this afternoon. Katrina has turned and is moving northwest at 13 mph with a turn to the north expected tonight.


    Everyone along the northern Gulf of Mexico should be completing preparations for a major hurricane and take heed of evacutation orders. Hurricane warnings are up from Morgan City, La., to the Florida-Alabama border. This includes the city of New Orleans and Lake Pontchartrain. A tropical storm warning and a hurricane watch have been issued from the Alabama-Florida border eastward to Destin, Florida and from west of Morgan City to Intracoastal City, Louisiana.


    A storm surge of 20 to 25 feet or more is possible along and to the east of Katrina's landfall point Monday. On top of the water rise, pounding waves of 20 to 40 feet will produce catastrophic damage at coastal locations.


    Effects from Katrina will not be confined to coastal areas. Once Hurricane Katrina makes landfall, it will progress inland Monday into Tuesday with a trail of flooding rains and damaging winds across Mississippi and Alabama and then into Tennessee. Torrential, flooding rainfall is possible with the remnants of Katrina well inland, possibly into the Ohio Valley, Great Lakes and the Northeast later this week.



    Elsewhere, there are two areas of low pressure in the central Atlantic. The first area of low pressure is located several hundred miles east of the Lesser Antilles. This system continues to show signs of organization and could become the next tropical depression later today or Monday. It could approach the Lesser Antilles in the next 2 to 3 days.


    The other area of interest is a low pressure system that has just come off the African coast. This system also has the potential to develop into a tropical depression later today or Monday.


    Tropical Depression Irwin continues to weaken in the eastern Pacific Ocean. Top winds are down to 30 mph and it may dissipate in the next 24 hours.


    In the northwest Pacific Talim has become a typhoon and is forecast to grow to a 120 mph typhoon before moving across Taiwan and into mainland China in the next 3 to 4 days.

    Kevin,


    Can you tell if these non posters may have visited the board recently?





    Yes, but I would have to look at each one separately. An example is AEC23, this member has 65 posts but was last here on 22nd April 2004 - 09:40 AM


    http://www.dukewayne.com/index.php?showuser=28


    Basically I'm unable to pick and choose what members should be deleted and who shouldn't. All I can do is mass delete based on date range. So AEC23 would be removed if I deleted any member who hasn't visited the site within the last 12 months.


    The more I look at this the more I'm thinking that we leave well enough alone.

  • New Members

    I like the idea of "flushing" accounts out that haven't been used in say, the last year. the problem (for me) is finding the best way to accomplish this. At this point I haven't found a sure fire way to do this without possibly removing accounts that should stay. I think that anyone that posted (even once) should stay on the board, for the future history of the site. But as for the members that sign up and never post then yea, after a certain period of time, remove them.

  • What Kinds Of Music Do You Like?

    Interesting topic.


    I too can listen to alot of different music. My taste in music changes it seems with the seasons, ^^ In the fall & winter its country, in the spring & summer it's more rock and roll. I like the 60's era rock (Haggard, Twitty, etc.) I also, like mainly one band today and that's U2. Yes, like The Duke, "I'm a man of contradictions" :huh: I like U2 so much I even have a fan site devoted to the Irish group at http://www.U2exit.com :agent:

  • Rest In Peace Mr.johnny Carson

    It is a sad day....


    I grew up on Carson (sort of) my Dad was an avid tonight show watcher, which he passed on to me. I still have the vhs copies of the shows from the final week in 1992. I pulled them out last night to re-watch them
