The Oil Drum

For informed people like yourselves, looking at all this data, it is about time to organise some of the vast stream into insight, as to why it is that these storms behave as they do. And no, I'm not thinking about God.

I happen to have some exquisite pictures taken from official radars tracking Ophelia showing a neat 60 degree sided triangle, where the eye would be, said triangle showing up on visible scale and rain fall. That Ophelia was triple looping around the ocean, is, again, nothing out of the ordinary, right?

You might need a hint to organise and focus your pattern of thinking: look up what former Def Sec Cohen said about weapons that could trigger earthquakes, hurricanes and such like. Also, I paraphrase Bush's visit to NO: "It looks like the coast was it with the worst sort of weapon there is."

You do remember then, when the US invaded Iraq, a major dust storm appeared just when the invasion was in full swing?

Now, two hurricanes heading into oil producing regions and big cities, back-to-back, is what? A coincidence?
