Crooked Corporations Backing Crooked Politicians
While Hurricanes and Tornadoes grab more public attention, HAIL leads
tornadoes for the costliest disasters in Texas since 1950.

Sobering Reality Check on Increasing Storm Intensity in Texas
For some reason a newpaper published Hurricane Rita's expense to Texas
ranked by other weather extremes to Texas since 1950. There were 15
total storms of note, and Rita came in second. I took their list and
examined it further.
First is their list., Secondly I sorted the data by dates. Third I
subtotaled the three distinct groups. From 1953 through 1983 (31
years) there were one third of the storms. From 1991 through 2005 were
two-thirds of the storms in half the time period length.
There was a lull periods between storms from 1953 through 1991 of 8,
9, 9, 4, and 8 years between storms. From 1991 the storms came 1, 2,
1, 0, 1, 0 years apart, then a lull of 5 years and 1, 2, 2 years
apart.
One can say that the population increased and property investments
increased and is reflected in higher damage totals but the population
and build-out didn't change that much between the 1990s and the 2000s.
The damages in the 2000s are 74% higher in four storms than they were
ten years earlier for 6 big storm events. Three billion dollar or
higher hail storms exceed the damages for the worst tornado calamity
in the record, consistent with global warming theory. The costliest
storm was coastal flooding from a mere tropical storm, again an
increased risk created by global warming. Expensive hail storms don't
even appear on the record until 1991.
Has Rita struck Houston directly these records would be far different.
The flimsy tract homes built in the past decades cannot take even a
moderate hurricane, let alone a major one.

China: Egg-sized hail, violent storms kills 13
02/04/2007 16:08 - (SA)
Beijing - Hail the size of eggs has ravaged southern parts of China,
killing 13 people, closing an expressway and damaged crops on at least
81 300 hectares of farmland, said Xinhua news agency on Monday.
Seven people were killed and one was injured when a bus was hit in a
landslide triggered by hailstorms since Sunday in mountainous areas in
south-western Sichuan Province, Xinhua said.
The other six were killed by falling roofs and lightning, it said.
More than one million residents were affected around the city of
Chongqing and economic losses stood at 198m yuan ($25.6 million), said
Xinhua.
The hailstorms pelted five counties in Fujian province, on the
southeast China seaboard, punching holes in thousands of homes and
damaging power supply facilities.

Looks like Texas got hit pretty hard. God might be punishing the Red
States again for voting for Bush.

Look up the thread to a list of 15 most expensive storms in Texas --
the top four were all cyclones (hurricanes or tropical storm, but the
next three billion dollar storms were hail storm events. Hail is more
expensive than tornadoes.
