yeah well, i'm tired of all the hurricane hype. time to have a real one roll through or have the weather-tards shut the fuck up about "catastrophic" storm of the century bullshit and end up with weak ass tropical storms and shit.

I'm wondering if many people understand just how bad Irene was. Its probably going to rank as one of the most expensive and destructive storms to hit the US mainland yet. Its not that it did complete total destruction to one city...but the fact that it caused serious damage to an area from South Carolina all the way north to the US border..not to mention the Bahamas, Puerto Rico, Canada, etc. The damage path just in the US alone is about 1400 miles long. A LOT of people died from Irene too.

3 more fires started up in the neighborings areas... Looks like we have a serial arsonist on our hands

Hope thats not the case. It could also be embers flying away from the original fires in the wind.

It's been so dry I don't even know how the dove season is going to be. I'm picturing the doves to explode like dry paper and burn when shot.

The field across the road is loaded to the hilt. We're going to try to hit them up tomorrow afternoon if you want to drive out.

Dramatic much?



Irene [est, depending on source]:
Insurance Institute, an industry trade group, told the Los Angeles Times that she expected total losses to be somewhere between $2 billion and $5 billion, while catastrophe modeling company AIR Worldwide put it between $3 billion and $6 billion

Over the weekend, Hurricane Irene left an estimated $7 billion to $13 billion of damage



Costliest U.S. Hurricanes
1. Katrina $105,840,000,000
2. Andrew $45,561,000,000
3. Ike - $27,790,000,000
4. Wilma - $20,587,000,000
5. Ivan - $19,832,000,000
6. Charley - $15,820,000,000
7. Hugo - $9,739,820,675
8. Rita - 11,797,000,000
9. Agnes - $11,760,000,000
10. Betsy - $11,227,000,000

A LOT of people died from Irene too.

Irene: 44 as of Aug 31 AM


Deadliest U.S. Hurricanes
1. Great Galveston Hurricane 1900: 8000
2. FL (Lake Okeechobee) 1928: 2500
3. Katrina 2005: 200
4. Cheniere Caminanda 1893: 1100-1400
5. Sea Islands 1893: 1000-2000
6. GA/SC 1881: 700
7. Audrey 1957: 416
8. Great Labor Day Hurricane 1935: 408
9. Last Island 1856: 400
10. Miami Hurricane 1926: 372

And some of those are probably low... Katrina killed over 1200 when you take into account what happened after the storm itself was done.

Yea the fire at PK is spotting like crazy... While that could be the case usually these were all 30-45 miles from the current fires...
