Comments for New Type Of El Nino Could Mean More Hurricanes Make Landfall »

Posted By ameliog 6 months ago in Science & Technology

El Niño years typically result in fewer hurricanes forming in the Atlantic Ocean. But a new study suggests that the form of El Niño may be changing potentially causing not only a greater number of hurricanes than in average years, but also a greater chance of hurricanes making landfall, according to climatologists at the Georgia Institute of Technology.

      Yeah but the last big hurricane pretty much cleared the black people from their real estate so who the F cares. Is that a good thing?

        I hope that was tongue in cheek? Or were you just calling Calitenno a racist?

        I read his/her statement a few times,,,,,,, what's racist about it, the word 'south" the word 'Washington' or the words "New York"?

          I will go with choice A the south. I read that business dropped at restaurants after equal rights because half the fun of eating out as a white person in the south was seeing the negros get inferior treatment so white **** kickers could feel a little better by putting someone lower than their useless ignorant ass.

            I'm sorry you have such a low opinion of people solely because they live in a southern state. It must be a burden to live with.

            Ah but today you can go into these same restaurants and see bi-racial married folks, gay people, and minorities eating peacefully and even without a second thought/glance. I think you really need to get with the program, it's actually 2009 now not 1955.

        I've been thinking this is an El Nino year. Lower humidity here in Houston but NO CLOUDS (yikes that sun is something without a break in Houston),,,, no afternoon rains to break the heat (we are in some drought this summer) and temperatures that are above 100 for days on end.

        Pulllleeeeze give me back the brutal High Humidity, clouds, afternoon rains of 6 inches and temps in the mid 90s.

          I think Colorado is getting all your humidity and rain. It's been one thunderstorm warning after another, more so that the usual 'monsoon season'.

          I haven't had to water my lawn yet this year.

            I remember when I was a scout those long years past. I went to a camp called Philmont in NM near Cimmeron. This flat lander freaked out being way up in the mountains as the monsoon storms rolled in and we were only in tents and actually in the storm. Man oh man, that was something.
