"So Mr. President Bush, what are you going to do about Hurricane Katrina?"

"We're going to find Katrina, and we're going to catch her. We have every reason to belive she is associtated with the Al Qaeda. Katrina, Al Qaeda, both start with a k."

But on topic, thats too bad. Get in your basement or something.

Basements don't exist here. Mr. Broward, the guy that developed the whole county, wanted to build some, but then he found out that there was  limestone that couldn't be broken under the earth. Under that was miles and miles of underwater caverns.

So that's why we don't have basements. Instead, we have 50 pound titanium shutters my dad has to lug around and put on the windows.

Oh damn, that sucks.


So they thought it would be too much trouble to blow up the limestone to make space for basements? If you ask me a pure limestone basement would be invincible in a hurricane or tornado.

Blowing up limestone for basements would be expensive and dangerous.

Am I gonna die, mommy?

Why are we worrying about expenses? According to everyone else, spending apparently boosts the economy. Also, unless you are standing in the middle of your own bomb charges, standing away from the explosion zone should keep people alive no?  :cookieMonster:

Not to mention the caverns.

IM SAFE HERE IN MY BASEMENT AHAHAHAH- WHAT IS THAT LEAK

Thou shalt utilize the caverns for evil scientist secret bases.

Remember. Back in 1850, Florida was pretty much a beautiful wetland. Even with all the water drained, the explosives that they could have used may have destroyed miles of swamp and killed hundreds of animals.

Sorry for the double post, but good news.

The forecast models are predicting that the storm will stay off the coast of Florida, meaning that us here in Miami and Fort Lauderdale will most likely get the feder bands instead of the actual storm.

Start laying out those plans for that HQ- I mean basement.

Georgia doesn't have hurricanines.
We have tornadoes.


Hurricanines are loving big and they hit everything tons of times for a couple days.
Tornadoes last about ten minutes and tear the forget out of whatever they hit.

Assuming we dump the animals on top of our explosives. There is a reason we look for wild life before blowing stuff up, even underground. As for the swamps, I wouldn't think of excavating there. There are plenty of good places that Florida has that can be blown up without major loss.

It's called being careful. Same goes for oil drilling but apparently even thinking of drilling oil kills the animals.
