What is with the Category 2 rating? Have the ratings changed? Due to global warming, weren't the meterologists expecting Category 6 continental destruction storms? Maybe that is next year. Of course, sunspot cycle 23 is still waning, cycle #24 which is supposed to be the solar equivalent of Katrina, has not yet begun. My, My! A little cooling, a little rain, Al Gore's minions in chains. RS |
