Rain snow and Hurricane IKE

Post by Harold »

So it is raining like H... and the high ground is having snow, in places plenty of snow. In fact where I live it snowed today for the second time in 27 years, admittedly not enough to settle as we were having about 90% rain and only 10% snow flakes.
But check out this site to see what hurricane Ike was like:

And that is another reason why I love RSA... we don't have such violent forces of nature over here (maybe once every 50 to 100 years)

it's a sign our planet is not well.
we keep pushing pollutants in the air, and she is choking to death.
I thinks we might experience this sooner than 50yrs. Biofuels is the way forward. not only is it cleaner, it is renewable. I don't like the idea of electric cars. Where does the electricity come from , coal / nuclear. it takes about 250 000 yrs for nuclear waste to die out :o:
