There is something that isn't sitting right with me regarding the fact that after a Cat3/4 hurricane (Katrina) devastates New Orleans, Houston, the place most of the refugees are taken is on course to be hit by a CAT5 (Rita)! Cat5s don't happen very often, they are as rare as F5 tornadoes.

Last night when I saw the weather pictures on the news, the first thought I had was "Oh My Lord! It's chasing them!" Them being the people of New Orleans. My rational mind wants to think this is pure bunk, but I am wondering if someone hasn't released something bad, really bad, that is centering on the Gulf of Mexico. (Please remember, Mexico is in just as much danger from this particular hurricane as the USA is.)

I am interested in others comments about this. I realize this may sound like the ravings of a madwoman, but my mind keeps wandering back to that thought -- and I have spoken to others who reluctantly agree that this is the case. Many of those agreeing are not folks I would normally would think would.

I don't remember where I read this, and I didn't give it much credence at the time, but somewhere I had heard that some group had had a voodoo ceremony go very bad and they released a bit of bad juju that may be causing Katrina and Rita to be as bad as they are.

I am praying for those who are in its path. There has been too much death and destruction.

Pax.

Doesn't a hurricane expend alot of the available heat energy in it's path for the next storm? And just out of curiosity, how many hurricanes have ballooned from a Cat1 to a Cat5 in two days as Rita has?

twitchy,

i was wondering that myself and i was watching the weather channel the other night and a meteorologist was explaining that very thing. he said that those golf waters are like no other water area around and that they actually have raised by 1 degree this year. and while the waters had cooled off some because of Katrina they warmed up a considerable amount in the week afterwards and the acceleration process of a hurricane has always leeped pretty quickly once it hits those warm gulf waters.
