In 10 minutes, a hurricane releases more energy than all the worlds nuclear weapons combined...
Really??? C'mon...that may have been true back in the 50's when the whole world had...2...I've witnessed hurricanes first hand...lotsa wind and rain...possible structural damage...with a moderate chance of collateral body counts...and altho I haven't witnessed nuclear weaponary up close and personal...all pertinent data suggests a forecast somewhat different...complete devastation...with a fair to damn good chance of catastrophic loss of life...property...environmental ramifications...oh and the apparent ability to transform the generations that follow the survivors of said fallout into technological prodigies...(see Japanese)...remember those little...post samurai, sword swingin', asian elves of the East...drop a couple bombs on them and they start buildin better...well everything...cars...computers...tv's...cell phones...cameras...you name it...I don't seem to recall any hurricane in history being able to accomplish anything even closely resembling something as close to the next step in human evolution...the only good that comes out of a hurricane are the bigger than average swells it creates prior to making landfall...giving a select group of suicide surfers...(the Japanese call them ka-mi-wa-ve...kinda like kamikaze...only on water)...an opportunity to perish on an otherwise unrideable wave...making headlines the world over for his fearlessnessism...don't ask me...if Dubya can do it...so can I...lead by example I always say...unless that example is of someone who's greatest achievement is comparable to passing flatulence orally...and...uh...if I recall correctly hurricanes come in 5 classes...nuclear weapons...1...Extremely Dangerous...misuse of contents will result in bodies that glow at night...3 eyed babies...hermaphodites with tails...drooling, pus filled, bags of flesh that make lepers look like Beauty Pageant contestants...Hurricanes...class 1...it's gonna be a tad bit windy...class 2...windspeed is gonna increase by 10 mph...NOT good kite flyin weather...class 3...might wanna consider gettin to higher ground...gonna get a little wet with that wind...class 4...wetter...windier...smart money says your neighbors already have a 2 hour head start for relatives in the middle part of the country...class 5...buckle your chinstarps boys and girls...this sonofabitch can blow the hair off a cat's back in Kansas...if you look out your front bay window you might catch a glimpse of Dorothy and her little fluffy hairball Toto as they gently make their way to Oz...what kinda warning do ya get with an impending nuclear holocaust on the horizon...Ladies and Gentlemen...somebody pushed the wrong button...we are under attack...nuclear weapons have been launched...can NOT be intercepted and will destroy anything and everything within a 50 mile radius...DON't bother running we've volleyed enough to terminate even the stoutest of cockroaches...NOTHING will survive this...and if it does I highly doubt it'll possess the knowledge to rebuild...all by itself...tragic I know but it coulda been worse...at least it wasn't a hurricane...monsoon...or cyclone...this should be far less devastating as we have conservatively kept over 50% of the world's stockpile in bunkers...this little morsel of mind numbing educatory evidence reminds me of a similar...yet less known factimification...given 8 years...(yeah it's a wee bit longer than 10 minutes...bare with me)...and enough nonsensical notions with which to clamor aimlessly thru the English language I bet old Dumbya could produce the mental energy equal to a handful of gin soaked cottonballs wrapped in hacked up feline hairballs...that's right folks...Hurricanes...Holocausts...Hacked up Hairballs...and the Handi-Hero of the Halfwits...all brought to you in one concise commentary...courtesy of Kevin's Conscience...and you heard it here first!!!
