5. The weather channel announced there would be at least "several"
more "named" storms (hurricane status) that would form before the end of the season on November 30th.

7. I didn't forget
I was counting on "Other" for these. Volcanoes are actually a real possibility. Another "not if, but when".

8. Housing bubble bursts.
Housing is to 2005 as credit was to 1929.

At least that's my chicken little impression.

9. We have something forming
in the Atlantic off of Florida's east coast. I live in SC, 25 miles from the ocean. I know I'm watching it because with so many republicans elected here, they are good "christians", they will let us all die.

You forgot... it's alphabetical
What was "L"? I think it was "Locusts"

15. Other: A giant meteorite shaped like a Ford expedition w/ a W04 sticker on
it will crach on either New England or Kalifornya and only diebold technicians and ceo's will survive. The meteorite will contain a magical property that allows eternal youth which the government will confiscate and Dick Sleazey pritatizes it to Haliburton which in turn provides it only to 700 club members and other pedophiles.

16. Fact: There will be several more years of more numerous hurricanes


per season and stronger ones as well. The warmer temps in the waters of the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico gives them strength.


Home insurance premiums in the southeast will skyrocket.

17. The continued agenda of diminishing the public good - cause
if business could handle some jobs properly - they would already have them.

18. Peak Oil hits hard this winter. Heating Oil and Nat. Gas...
are going through the roof even as we sit here. No amount of releases from the petroleum reserves are going to replace lost refining capacity and lost natural gas from the Gulf.

Combine this with a slowed Gulf Stream and we are likely to get a cold winter in the Northeast. Jobs lost due to economic disruption will complete the suffering.

Have fun.

22. Don't worry, Carla in CA, you can count upon a quick, professional
Federal response to an earthquake of flood in California. The country has spent 4 years investing in Homeland Security and I have no doubt that any response to a large scale disaster will be quick and efficient. SARCASM.
