Re: words are inadequate to describe Katrina

on a completely unrelated note, i just wanted to convey one thing: my weather here...katrina's remnants are making their way well west of me, but the air is as moist and tropical as i can ever remember feeling..



Phil - that is exactly what I was thinking here in Ohio - I left work last night about 8, it had been pouring rain all day and was still falling - the air reminded me of a florida rainstorm - very warm, very sticky.

(As a side note - I was pointing out to my students that the water falling from the sky came all the way from the Gulf of mexica and was the same storm (albeit much, much , much weaker) that hit the coast. They were amazed...they had never really thought of it that way).
