Re: [RC] [RC] Alive in the panhandle - Truman Prevatt
At one time back in the late 60's there was actually a research effort
to use nuclear bombs to vaporize hurricanes. When the calculated the
tonnage required it would have taken four of the biggest suckers we had
and then if it didn't work you would have radioactive rain - oh boy
just what you need - not only does you roof get blown off but the
inside of your house glows in the dark for three years.
There is a tremendous amount of energy in a hurricane such as Ivan.
Just look at how much damage it did and think about how much energy it
would take to snap a power pole in half - not multiply that by the
thousands of power poles that were snapped, the number of houses that
were blown down the number of roads washed away, etc.
These storms are awesome. Now it's headed for the mountains where it
will dump between a foot to two feet rain on saturated ground that will
drain into swollen creeks that dump into already flooded rivers.
Howard, better go check you land in Tennessee - it may be washed away
after this Ivan gets through.
I sure hope Ivan didn't wreck havoc with Talladega. I've already missed
one ride because of Frances, the Biltmore more had to be canceled -
enough is enough.
We in Florida promise not to screw up the election this time - we
really do so the election Gods can go away, we've got your message.

We cannot afford to lose one horse or one endurance rider to these
stupid, awful, global warming freaks of nature. Truman, can't you
invent some sort of ice lazer device where my Air Force could go up
there and freeze the water surrounding the eye of these things to save
us from ourselves? I saw something like that in one of those old
Batman movies ("Mr. Freeze," I think).
There's gotta be a way. I swear, it's those damn fossil fuels; we're
killing ourselves here by burning it all up so fast (before the Chinese
catch up to us) and Florida will be the first to go. A hurricane is
gonna find it's way up Florida's uretha and we're all gonna implode,
making Florida a chain of islands from the Louisiana coast the the new
one in Georgia.
