Hurricanes

It looks like the first hurricane is going to hit Texas. Last I heard they thought it would be a category #1. However, it could become category #2 once on land. But they are also thinking the winds could die down once it hits land. Today I saw pictures on television of all the people on the beaches, little children playing in the water and on the sand. Are they nuts? People are boarding up their homes and businesses and people were out playing in the ocean like there was nothing wrong. I can't believe people sometimes, can you?

Huge Hurricane Rages On Saturn

A hurricane-like storm, two-thirds the diameter of Earth, is raging on Saturn's south pole. New Images from Nasa's Cassini space probe reveal this. Measuring 5,000 miles across, the storm is the first hurricane ever detected on a planet other than Earth. Scientists say the storm has the eye and eye-wall clouds characteristic of a hurricane and its winds are swirling clockwise at 350 mph. It looks like a hurricane, but it doesn't behave like a hurricane. So whatever it is, they are going to focus on the eye of this storm and find out why it is there. Interesting, isn't it?
