Silver Train, the ‘Coast Starlight’ (aka Coast Star-Late) cruises south along the coast, as California slowly falls into the ocean… kinda like the market.

Did I mention that Hilo is the most ‘disaster prone’ city in the US?
Hurricanes, Volcano lava, earthquakes, and tsunami. Our ‘sinkholes’ have hot lava in them. Only thing Hawaii is missing is catfish noodling! (Yeah, we got wild hogs, too!) 🙂

I’ll see your two hurricanes and raise four tornados, three earthquakes, two droughts, and one sinkhole!

Louisiana Bus Crash Carrying Flood Relief Workers. Geez, what next??
Parts:
Fire Chief Among 2 Dead, Dozens Injured.
Rodriguez, a Honduran national, was in the country illegally and was driving without a license.
Authorities planned to charge the bus driver, Denis Yasmir Amaya Rodriguez, 37, with two counts of negligent homicide, reckless operation and other crimes, Matey said. Additional charges were expected.
After hitting a fire truck and a Toyota Camry, the bus struck three firefighters who were responding to an earlier crash, throwing them over the guardrail of an elevated section of highway, Matey said.

treefrog – Rumor Has It
That the east coast is going to be hit by a major hurricane on 9-11. Two weeks up coming.
god help louisiana
another tropical depression appears to be forming in the key west/havana area. tropical depressions are low grade hurricane-type storms that don’t develop the destructive winds, but often bring massive amounts of rain. this is the kind of thing which caused the recent flooding in baton rouge and the surrounding area.
…well, here comes another. it’s a little too early to know how strong this one will be or just where it will hit, but indications are that it will drop a lot of rain on somebody on the gulf coast later on this week. the forecasts i have seen show it landing further east than the last one. alabama? florida panhandle?
i live in the florida panhandle 🙁 on high ground 🙂 the porch is three feet above ground level. the ground floor is a foot above that. an inch an hour gives us big puddles in the yard – even for several hours continuously. some of our neighbors are not so well situated.
sometimes it’s good to be a frog.
