Almost forgot about the hurricane season. I really really really really hope we don't get hit by one. I also pray for the USA, cause if they have a Katrina like event again the OIL prices worldwide will skyrocket faster than the salaries of the DR diputados.

From the link that time2rize provided, thanks!

It looks like it is anyones guess where it will end up and if it gains stenght and momentum.

Whatever the outcome it is a good reminder and the DR and Haiti should calmly advise the public to be prepared.

One thing with hurricanes is that they develop slowly so there is plenty of time to prepare.

There is really no excuse for loss of life.
