You want sadism? Consider that FEMA is at present the largest operator
of trailer parks in the USA, with locations concentrated within 100
miles of the Gulf coast.

Then consider that hurricanes often spin off multiple tornados -- and
we all know what tornados like...

It is kind of spooky that mother nature seems to
be aiming for NASA, with one hurricane hitting
KSC last year, a second hitting Michoud and
Stennis this year, and now a third lining up
to put JSC under water maybe.

I was last at JSC at the end of June, 103 degrees and 60% humidity.
After walking a hundred yards outside, the distinction betwen that and
"under water" seemed like a fine line...

Thanks for the thoughts. We really should pass a law or something to end
these hurricanes. Maybe require the NWS to get a permit for anything larger
than a tropical storm.
