- It's damn awful outside today... After such a beautiful weekend, I got up at 7 this morning to a developing hurricane. The winds got up to 95km an hour. It knocked one of my garden sheds completely over and I sure as hell wasn't going outside to fix it. It's in a tangled mess out there now, so I will take it to our local dump during the week... more

- Let's face it. They won't stop. Ever. After slamming Cuba, Ike is now taking aim at the United States and Mexican coasts. It shredded hundreds of homes... ... and caused significant damages. But that's not all. Gustav went on a rampage, flattened fields and ended up destroying $372 million worth of Louisiana crops. It's terrible... ... but it... more

- I am staying in a fairly large hotel in Austin, Texas. Austin has avoided the devastation of hurricane Ike and indeed has been a key shelter area for those fleeing Ike or the earlier Gustav hurricanes. Houston, the city where NASA's Mission Control is based has been devastated so it is obvious to ask who is controlling missions like the... more

- I am writing this from Chicago O'Hare airport - definitely not the worst entry point to the US - on my way to Austin. In two decades of regular travel to the US I have never been told by an immigration official that I will probably not make it to my destination but was this time. We were a bit delayed on leaving Heathrow but flying over Canada... more

- Hurricane Ike is continuing to gain strength, and is expected to be a category 3 storm by the time it hits the United States. The expected landfall will be on the coastline of Texas, near Corpus Christi, and Brownsville, either late Friday or early Saturday. I feel awful for the residents of Texas, hope no one is hurt or worse, Louisana can... more

- Hurricane Gustav moved through the Gulf Coast, and is going, up through the states with rain, wind, some hail and possible tornadoes. The damage to the area thankfully, not as much, as was thought to be. But in what appears to be a make-up for the limited number of hurricanes, during last year's hurricane season, multiple storm systems are... more

- Well “ Hello Dolly,” that’s what people in southern Texas are saying at today. They aren’t saying it to a lovely lady either, they are saying it to a hurricane that has winds of 100 mph and torrential rain! Imagine that, you’re sitting at your Pc drinking a cup of tea and playing a lovely calm game of Bingo, and suddenly the wind comes up and... more
