Today, Ivan hit the southern gulf coast, and once again, I am hearing the names of places I’ve lived and worked devastated by Mother Nature.

And right behind that is Jeanne, and right behind that is the makings of Karl.

I can’t help but wonder if we aren’t doing something that is tipping the scales in favor of these big, monster storms dancing from Africa to North America.

Tonight’s sunset was beautiful, though, with the northwestern most limb of Ivan in our sky. No devastation here in Missouri, but I do feel for the folks in the South who are having to live through another round of hurricane remnants.
