Rita makes landfall as Category 3 storm ? oh, if only we had signed the Kyoto protocal like the European Union states! (Theeeeeeey never get hurricanes, do they?)
Here are the deadliest Texas hurricanes of the 20th century:
Storm ? Year ? Category ? Deaths:
Galveston ? 1900 ? 4 ? 6,000
Corpus Christi/Keys ? 1919 ? 4 ? 600
Audrey (Sabine Pass) ? 1957 ? 4 ? 390
Galveston ? 1915 ? 4 ? 275
Carla (Port O’Connor) ? 1961 ? 4 ? 46
Velasco ? 1909 ? 3 ? 41
Freeport ? 1932 ? 4 ? 40
Brownsville ? 1933 ? 3 ? 40
Since the timeline of those is in inverse proportion with that suggested by current global warming theory, and the intensity of many of them was greater than Hurricane “This is global warming” Rita, we shall not speak of them in the media.
