Hurricane Comings And Goings
I keep hearing that the Bermuda High is part of what causes hurricanes to move along the familiar path that so often takes them into Florida and its adjoining states. I wonder if this phenomenon is also part of what feeds all the mysterious talk about the supposed Bermuda Triangle. I doubt very much that meteorologists think the two are connected, but people seem to love a good mystery, so the talk continues.
We heaped a great deal of praise, and rightly so, on firefighters, police, rescue teams and utility workers after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The people who work for Florida Power and Light and the law enforcement folks who patrolled streets long after others had gone to shelter have proved themselves to be heroes during this hurricane.
Once the storm has weakened and folks begin the task of cleaning up its destruction, I hope all the workers get some rest, because all current indications show that, within the next week or two, folks on the East Coast will need to turn their attention to Ivan.
