From what I saw on TV, the Mexicans were way better prepared than those people in Florida. The shelters had real beds, not cots, and a very nice buffet. That was at a swanky resort was it not? Where the folks were taken out of their individual bungalows and brought into a main building, hence the very nice buffet? I rather doubt all of Mexico is that prepared, elsewise they'd be ready to welcome back all the illegals that are here. dxAce Michigan USA |

I doubt too many are fleeing for economic reasons. |
NO ONE
no one.. would ever assign a Reporter / Filmcrew to the area where a Cat 4 hurricane crosses the coastline - I mean, unless they want to get into the Body recovery / Liablilty Lawsuit Business.. Dealing with Grieving Widows & Orphans & such..? All the film crews I've seen have been parked well inland, in fortified buildings, possibly with Aux. Power Please go back to Sat Radio & don't venture out side of Strip Mall America |
One of the Dumbest responses I'v read in a Long time.. NO ONE would send a reporter to go into an area where there would be major devastation.. They're parked somewhere safe, well away from the coastline in a storm proof shelter.. Possibly at a place that has Aux. Power.. Send a Film crew down to where the Cat 4 eyewall is going to hit the coast..? Unless you like Million Dollar Liability Lawsuits.. Grieving Widows & Orphans - Don't think so,.. David, you have outdone yourself.. - Please stay where you are in Strip Mall America.. |

- Sorry David, Dan Rather was Probably just reporting innacurate info... Possibly making incorrect inferences from wind speeds recorded high up over open water and extrapolationg to whatever inland place he was at the time read info in the links below for clarificatin.. http://clemsonews.clemson.edu/WWW_re...er_Sparks.html " In the most recent example of Hurricane Georges, the National Hurricane Center reported maximum sustained winds of 100 mph as it made landfall. But Sparks said an analysis of information from data buoys and land stations by the Hurricane Research Division of the National Oceanic and Aeronautic Administration put the figure at only 84 mph for ocean exposures -- which would mean overland speeds would be even lower. " SNIP " He added that erroneous reports also went out after Hurricane Bonnie, with the National Hurricane Center issuing reports that a Category 3 hurricane with sustained winds of 115 mph had swept over Wilmington, N.C., even as the National Weather Service at Wilmington measured and reported a maximum of only 56 mph. " - and if you look at this wind speed. / description / effects scale you can see that a 50+ MPH wind is probably what he was talking about.. A Non trivial speed.. Ever stood up , unsupported..in a convertible going 55 MPH ?? ( They Call Him.... " David Road Rash.." ) http://www.marinewaypoints.com/marine/wind.shtml Cozumel has very few trees to slow things down and is ~20 feet high at it's highest.. - So I Hope the forcasts of wind speed ( at the surface) were similarly exaggerated.. ( Still no news.. ) |
Some news trickling in.. http://www.khou.com/news/local/stori...s.b26fedc.html " Cozumel is a different story. That airport has apparently suffered some major hurricane damage, including broken windows, fallen trees and a leaky roof." http://tinyurl.com/8fyem dxAce wrote: wrote: - Sorry David, Dan Rather was Probably just reporting innacurate info...

( Still no news.. ) That's interesting as I heard on CBS radio news earlier this afternoon that at least at that time there were no reports of fatalities on Cozumel but that there was a lot of destruction. dxAce Michigan USA |

( Still no news.. ) I have experienced 2 severe hurricanes and 100 MPH+ sustained Santa Winds on the San Sevaine. I think they use Doppler radar to determine wind speed, not mechanical devices. |
