Well I had a pretty good search and couldn't find anything sensible so here goes...
Last month it was catastrophic flooding in Texas. As I write its Hurricane Irma and lil brother Jose.
The thread title is deliberately opaque - cos in a year's time it will be something else....San Andreas,Yellowstone,Yucatan asteroid...place your bets folks.
Question: what have you lot done to piss off the weather gods?
Hurricane Irma regains Cat 4 strength as it targets St. Petersburg
The governor activated all 7,000 members of the Florida National Guard, and 30,000 guardsmen from elsewhere were on standby.
In the Orlando area, Walt Disney World, Universal Studios and Sea World all were closing Saturday. The Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Tampa and Orlando airports shut down.
Given its mammoth size and strength and its course up the peninsula, it could prove one of the most devastating hurricanes ever to hit Florida, and inflict damage on a scale not seen here in 25 years.
Hurricane Andrew smashed into suburban Miami in 1992 with winds topping 165 mph (265 kph), damaging or blowing apart over 125,000 homes. The damage in Florida totaled $26 billion, and at least 40 people died.
National Guard getting a heap of Disaster Relief practice in...
Good luck folks,stay safe
