Linda Howe leads off with a special report on why hurricanes have become so much more intense and are forming so much faster. Then Charles Hall describes his experiences with the “Tall Whites.” Is this real or not? Decide for yourself as Whitley performs his usual magic with Charles Hall, questioning him in such a way that he reveals himself for you to hear. After that, Linda returns with the story of our unquiet sun: why is it so active when it shouldn’t be, and does this mean something is wrong with it? Mr. Hall’s website is www.millennialhospitality.com.

As Hurricane Rita came ashore near Beaumont, Texas, it wasdowngraded to a tropical storm and continues to weaken as itmoves inland. The system is moving slowly and is expected todump upwards of 10 inches of rain across east Texas andLouisiana, with 5 or more inches in New Orleans.Nevertheless, early damage assessments suggest that there isextensive wind damage in many coastal communities. NewOrleans’ stricken 9th Ward is once again under 8 feet ofwater.

The storm did not gain energy as it neared land, which hashappened with some hurricanes recently. Damage is stillbeing assessed in coastal communities where it hit as aCategory 3 hurricane, but it is not expected to be on thescale of the damage caused by Katrina.

Michael McCarthy reports in the Independent that climate change isn’t just a theory any more?it’s become a reality and we’re now paying the price for centuries of spewing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Hurricanes happen when the ocean surface gets warmer than normal?much warmer than the air above it. This is what turns an ordinary tropical storm, which is a storm on the ocean, into a hurricane. The damage starts when a hurricane blows moves onto land.
