I remember that one. My mom totally freaked out and was crying cause my uncle (her oldest brother) lived in SF at the time when the earthquake hit. (Uncle survived it, moved to Florida a few years ago). Scary.

Wow, really? If you are from USA then you have rights to moving to anywhere what you want. What happened with court? also you have rights to live with immediate families and supposed not to get permission from courts. Not all part of Hawaii is expensive, just depends on what place to live but you wouldn't susprised that Hawaii have alot of government housings to treat people that who are low income, like work at low wage. Handicapped person can get short wait list then get in so quickly but wait list in Hawaii aren't long as in NYC, LA and Chicago. I will rather to live in managed apartment over government housing because it's more clean and good maintenance. Many managed apartments in expensive cities (like LA, SF, Miami, Honolulu and even more) have rent control and some provide market rate but market rate is limited. Hawaii isn't expensive but gas prices are expensive as in CA but cheaper than in Vancouver, grocery are so-so, little more costly than in California and Florida. People is just don't know how to use wise with money and javapride helped me alot.

I just enjoy to help you but it's your decide. :)

Naw, I don't want to live in Hawaii now. I like living on the mainland cause then I can easily travel anywhere without having to fly.

It would have been cool to live in Hawaii if I was still a kid, but now, nah. Would certainly like to visit someday though.

The reason I had to get permission from courts was because I was in foster care. The state and the judges get to decide where I live. I was a kid. For some reason they wouldn't allow it. *shrugs*

Some courts are stupid... I understand that some people feels so sick when live in island.
 
TS Alberto is 70 mph, if get to 75, it will be our first hurricane.

Florida people need to leave now and board up, or they be like New Orleans victim.
 
TrippLA said:
Nah, Typoons is only happened in Japan and rest of Southeast Asia but Hawaii has hurricanes, it happened at few time in 1959, 1982 and again 1992. In 1992, it's called Hurricane Iniki, it was occured in Kauai Island also it happened at same island in 1959 and 1982. No hurricanes are hit in Honolulu, rest of Oahu, Maui and Big Island. I wouldn't live in Kauai Island because it hard to escape to other island. Eastern Pacific Ocean have hurricanes, opposite from typoons in Western Pacific Ocean but hurricanes in Pacific Ocean are just playing around water, several hit in west coastal of Mexico and Baja California, rare to hit in Hawaii and extremely rare to hit in California. California haven't got hurricane since 1858 after hit in San Diego, when about 8 years after became statehood.

A typhoon is the same thing as a hurricane.

:lol: Get a grip!

Yes, people on the Western coast of FL need to be prepared for a minimal hurricane, but to say it'll be like New Orleans is being a bit rash. Educate yourself about hurricanes before you make statements like this.
 
ButterflyGirl said:
So true that it is best to be prepared than be sorry. I also don't think Alberto will be a bad one but never know. I am in Central Florida and right now it is getting very cloudy with looks of some rain coming down. I see you are also in Florida. You hang in there too :)

Thank you, Butterfly Girl. We actually saw our bad weather from the not-yet named Alberto this weekend. It's past us now, and heading towards the west coast. I am somewhat shocked that it's as strong as what it is. I really only expected a medium tropical storm.

Be careful!

Nah, both of cycle is different. Hurricane is name in Eastern Pacific Ocean and typhoon is name in Western Pacific Ocean like Japan and Southeast Asia.

Well, sort of. A tropical cyclone is called a hurricane in the Atlantic basin and the Eastern Pacific. In the Western Pacific, it's called a Typhoon. Basically, tho, they are the same thing.

That's because they form in the Eastern Pacific. Storms over there are of greater intensity. It has nothing to do with being a "typhoon". The waters of the Far East are much warmer than the waters in this part of the world, and that is why the storms are stronger. But, a typhoon and a hurricane IS the same thing.
 
What's the latest on 'Alberto'? Any changes at all with the intensity and magnitude of this storm? For those that are in the path of this storm, please do take care and seek reasonable shelter.... ;)

That's fine that you don't believe me because I had learn about both of it in science class at school. Ocean in coast of CA are cold, around 50*F and we never got hurricane since 1858. Hurricane in Hawaii that hit in 1992 is about big as in numerous of hurricane in Western Atlantic Ocean, also many of hurricane had occured in coast of Western Mexico too. Typhoons are too huge that hit in Japan and Southeast Asia because news never show up on tv about hurricane damage in some area in Southeast Asia, that worse than Hugo, Andrew and even Katrina. Hurricane is an word that official in Eastern Pacific, also in Hawaii too. I'm not gonna waste of my time to explain.

Here is a link that you might like to look at to see the updates of the storm http://www.weather.com/maps/news/atlstorm1/stormtrack_large.html

Right now in where I am it is very cloudy with on and off rains. I am well away from the coastline so I am not too concerned about the storm but of course I am concerned for those who live on the west coastline. Hopefully they all are prepared in case Alberto decides to become more stronger.
 
Interesting because most of the time, the hurricanes are on the opposite side of Florida and up the Atlantic seaboard. Perphaps God is sending a message ? Just my two cents .....

Last I heard, the storm was just under hurricane strength at 70mph. It could strengthen into a minimal hurricane before making landfall around the panhandle some time in the next 24 hrs. It's picking up speed, too.

Right now, rain bands are coming on shore soaking coastal areas. A hurricane warning is in effect for much of the western coast. That's it, as far as I know.

That's because you don't usually get a storm this early in the season. Those that do form, usually hit along the Texas/Mexico border. But, a hurricane can form anywhere there's really warm water, and where the winds are favorable for development.

Later on in the season, you'll start seeing them coming off the African coast, and that's when you see them hitting the Atlantic seaboard. In late Aug to mid-Sept, they come off the African coast, and become a problem for US (extreme S. FL). Then, in late Sept to Oct, they spawn down in the eastern Carribean, and come up and nail us, too.

Eh, no thanks. I live in a hurricane prone area, so I know all I need to know, thank you. ;)

I have been told that witchcraft African voodoo priests and priestesses have on occassion been able to send hurricanes and this has been doucemented where the NOAA ( US Gov't weather station ) said they were not supposed to get a hurricane that was not scheduled to hit and there was a doucementary film maker all the way on the African continent filming African voodoo witchcraft prayers and fastings to send a hurricane to the USA coast then the Africans gather around the television set outside and watch the t.v. news and chant to cheer on the hurricane and give thanksgiving to the demonic spirits which is really sick. I will have to ask someone to send me the website link and it is a doucemented film which is for real.
