I’m in Houston :( ..I’m really hoping that Ike is the same as Gustav…

Emergency Supplies:
Bottled Water
Some band-aids
canned peaches

the grocery store nearby is EMPTY…the only stuff left is the perishable stuff and really unhealthy crap that I refuse to eat…it’s also kind of sad that they ran out of beer before they ran out of water and ice…

There is like 6 gas stations in my town, and they were all out of gas until like 30 min ago….

ugh..I’m freaking out :(

We are going on Carnival, leaving a week from today. If a hurricane prevents the cruise, do we get a refund?

A hurricane destroys most of the fishing boats on the Macro Islands but leaves the lobster traps untouched. Boats are not needed to collect the trapped lobsters. People enjoy eating fresh fish with tartar sauce and lobster with drawn butter equally. Explain the effect of the hurricane on the demand and supply for fresh fish.

Demand / Supply

The last hurricane that passed through were the gas stations equipped with backup generators, were the shelters properly surveyed for proper usage, were inventory made on food and medical supplies that could be made available for use after the disaster passed away. Were the hospital and other emergency establishments equipment with backup generators. We should always be prepared,the season will soon be here again. Just look around you and what do you see?

There’s a program @ my university where they give a MEMORIAL Loan to students who are in financial need & are receiving financial aid, & the money is deducted from my refund checks. But they told me that if I am in DIRE need, I have to write them a letter of being in extenuating circumstances, so I can get the money earlier. I’m on a fixed income, my electricity bill is high because I had to pay a deposit on it, & I’m low on food & clothing, & I need books & school supplies. & this type of loan is NOT credit-based. My financial credit is poor as a result of Hurricane Katrina (long story) but I became in debt, trying to replace my necessities.

I only have 3 towels & washcloths left. I didn’t realize my brother was stealing my stuff when I was living with him. Now I have my own apartment.
I’m asking in the ETIQUETTE section since this has to do with trying to persuade politely & properly & not rudely.

Even after all the devastation last year people are still not ready for this hurricane season (that started today).
Are you ready?

The news said that over 80% of people have done nothing to strengthen their home.
Over 2/3 of the people have NO hurricane plan (they do not stock any supplies or have any evacuation plan if the need arises)!

If I lived in Florida or Louisiana I would be scared of hurricanes (the hurricane season is getting worse every year because of Global Warming). How can they not have plans to get out?!?

I’m trying to understand how supply and demand works but I’m overthinking it and could use some pointers.

Assume that a major hurricane wipes out over 50% of all rubber trees in Central America. How would this effect the demand, supply, equilibrium price, and equilibrium quantity (Increase, Decrease, or No Change) of Rubber.

… or just the ones I date or marry? My last girlfriend called me this afternoon and was actually being real nice and offered to give me some hurricane supplies since I’m planing on staying here and riding it out. That evil woman drove up to my house and tossed a rope (with a noose tied in it) onto my driveway and told me to tie it around my neck when the storm hits, then she drove off in a cloud of dust. Does anyone else have problems like I do?

As if some kind of radiated pulse or modifier is aimed at water supply near storm to increase the storm development in a certain area.

I have noticed this and have copied several instances to my hard drive. Whenever I have seen these patterns – these storms became major disasters.

Could our Government have some kind of Weather Modification satellite in space? You know, some kind of microwave pulse or beam directed at nearby water supplies to warm up the water and creat more moisture/power in the storm.

I saw this during hurricane Katrina – A major glitch flashing right across the Infrared weather screen right befor ethe storm intensified.

And it is only visible on the Infrared screen

Just throwing this out there.

You seem to think you know me. I don’t show my questions or answer so you are either watching what I do or you have nothing to do all day and look at every post on every board.

The World is not what it appears to be from an average citizens point of view.

The fact that I connect on all these issues is nothing more than a way to help people wake up.

The World doesn’t belong to man and my life doesn’t belong to my Government.

Freedom of Speech

I may ask what I want, where I want and when I want.

Get a life

I can show you the screen grabs if you would like of Hurricane Katrina spiking on the infrared.
HERE ARE FOUR OF MY SCREEN GRABS

I know that I am safe, I have sprinkled holy water and garlic cloves all around the perimeter of my home, drawn the blinds, and locked the doors. Should I board up my windows as well? I am also well-stocked with hurricane supplies. My neighbors think that I am insane, do you? Nothing has happened yet, do you think all the bad stuff will happen after it gets dark?

First we were told it was because of hurricanes in the gulf and the need to shut down platforms; then we were told the supplies were low; then we were told it was because of the fear of terrorists attacks. As the price continues to climb what do you think are the REAL reasons oil is at 0 a barrel?

It looks like President Obama found George Bush’s hurricane machine – you know, the one he used to send Katrina to hurt all those poor black people in New Orleans – and has now used it to send Hurricane Bill to hurt the white people in New England. Does it actually make the hurricanes or just attract them like a magnet? And if the latter why did President Obama take such a risk bringing it to Martha’s Vinyard himself?

Isn’t this foolhardy as there is so many threats of violence in the middle east.

Won’t prices double or triple should another hurricane hit the gulf coast, and our reserves are low? Remember 2005?

What will happen to our economy if we actually run out of oil???

NO TO DIPPING IN TO THE RESERVES!!!
