Humm.....and then there are those that don't believe that global warming even exists - mighty strange we have seen a big increase in these storms each year and its getting worse and worse. Its a well known fact that the warmer the water temperature is, the more these storms are fueled. sigh Im terribly upset to hear that you may have lost everything Deb. I know lots of people are in the same situation, but that doesnt make it any easier to accept. It must be a very humbling situation. I know we have had lots of loss in our area due to some of the famous F5 tornado's but nothing in comparison to the damage Im seeing on the news channels. My heart goes out to every person down there (except those looters) I could understand them taking necessity's like food and water, but TV sets, Microwaves, Shoes, Clothes, Toys, etc. that they cant even USE or do anything WITH right now? Its pretty hard to use a TV without electricity, so what do they think they're gonna do with all this stuff; pack it all on their back while they evacuate out of the city for heavens sake? To me that is the lowest of low, and for those that are doing this looting for any other reason than basic essentials, I have no sympathy whatsoever for them. That part of 'human nature' (if you can call it human instead of animal) is repulsive to me.
