Subject: RE: RE: Again the fingers get pointed at Florida....... Bob,
What effect is this year going to have there? Oklahoma has had a declared state of emergency and requested FEMA four times this year for unprecedented natural disasters. F5 tornadoes and flooding.
According to the people that claim to know what's going on in weather patterns, it's not going to stop. It's only going to get worse. They are already planning to 'revisit' the scales (Fujita and Saffir-Simpson) due to storms going above and beyond the level 5. What was considered an 'anomaly' is now becomming common, unfortunately.
There are 7 states NOT ON THE COAST that have each cost as much as 2004 Florida this year. FEMA has been activated to assist twice in Fla - central and northern for tornadoes. Out of I believe (I could be wrong) 23 times in the country.
What's the answer for them when their private carriers start pulling out or writing X-Wind?
Half the country could end up in the same situation Florida has by the end of 2009. That's what we need to prepare for.
