KATRINA BEAT CAMILLE....RITA TO BEAT CARLA

I liked this quote from Joe Bastardi over at AccuWeather today:

TUESDAY 4:00 P.M.: KATRINA BEAT CAMILLE....RITA TO BEAT CARLA

GLOBAL WARMING: Please don't. When Rita is all done, just as Katrina, please consider that in Katrina, a situation that should have happened long ago actually happened, and really, was not even the perfect setup. Should a category 4 follow a track like 1947 or 1926 into New Orleans, then it wouldn't have been just levies breaking, but simply the water pouring over the top, and perhaps the whole levy system collapsing. A city built under sea level relying on man to defeat nature is a city living on borrowed time. And the upper Texas Gulf Coast, not hit by a major hurricane since 1983, has been way, way, way, past due. When it's all said and done, even if it's as bad as I say, then over the long haul, it's simply nature evening things out and reminding us of who we are in the face of the infinite.
