I'm curious, how do 180mph cyclones routinely hit pacific rim countries with relatively little damage and loss of life, and yet category 3/4 hurricanes on the East Coast (like Hurricane Andrew or Katrina or Ivan) with significantly slower winds cause apocalyptic damage. Is there a fundamental difference between cyclones and hurricanes I am not getting?

Jesus christ, I'm not one to really put much weight into global warming or 2012 shit...but lately with the gulf spill and all these disasters, looks like we're getting pretty close to something big...

but...

probably the earth just taking care of itself, I'm sure it recognizes it's overpopulated.

And these disasters always happen.

I was watching this documentary about the volcano krakatoa in Indonesia and how when it exploded/imploded into itself and sunk into the ocean it could be heard in Australia.

Well it formed a new island/volcana "child of krakatoa" and it's looking to be twice as deadly/dangerous and cause a huge tsunami and that should happen in our lifetime. Most likely.


Also, Beetlejuice will explode in our lifetime and we'll get two suns (though probably nothing TOO extravegant looking) and we should have no night for a week or two. It will apparently shoot photons through the earth and our bodies, possibley changing our DNA.

Shit is crazy.

Australia's building standards are apparently fairly high in the world standings. The cyclone cut in between high population points and went straight through but destroyed alot still. Where the cyclone hit (the big one, there has been 5 in the last month) people have to build by cyclone safe standards. The houses may be still standing but the towns are smashed by the floods that have followed the cyclones.
