I've been thinking a lot recently about how powerful nature is. Take a look at this picture of Hurricane Rita. It really looks like some sort of monster set to devour the coastline. Almost like the Allseeing Eye from the Lord of the Rings. Whipping trees and the like about at 150 mph and over 250 miles wide--this is a wind spirit I wouldn't want to encounter. Has this hurricane season helped us realize that there are some places that man cannot overcome? Will there be a time where mankind has advanced enough technologically to overcome nature...from the mild inconveniences of a summer rain to the upheaval of an earthquake? As long as the first few utterances of a casual conversation involve weather, I doubt it.Regardless, the people of NOLA still need our help. Visit the Red Cross to donate.
