Another Hurricane has its sights set on the East Coast - "Katia"

This past week, we all watch our televisions and listened intently to any news updates concerning Hurricane Irene.  Many people have said that Irene was a "non-event".  Perhaps hoping or expecting a little more action that Irene was willing to deliver.  One thing is for sure, those that were displaced or directly effected will certainly disagree.  To them, it was Armageddon and the "End of the World as They Know It.  One thing is for sure... if asked or directed to evacuate again, many will not.  It's the old "cry wolf" scenario.  

There is a chance that we may get to test my theory.  Brewing in the Atlantic Ocean right now, is Katia.  A category 3 hurricane, with wind speeds of  over 125mph and its just getting warmed up.  Its still too early to know for certain which path Katia will take.  Some forecasts show it veering off into the north Atlantic.  Others show it making landfall somewhere near Charleston or Virgina Beach.  One shows it going into the Gulf and hitting Galveston, TX.  It's still too early to say where Katia will go.  This might be a good opportunity to watch for HAARP activity.  Either way, we should know in a few days.  Let's all hope and pray that Katia is even less of an event than Irene.
