Tried taking refuge at a local university? That's what a lot of people at SFA did after Ike tore through town, since the university had its own dedicated substation. No Holiday Inn but at least it has air conditioning.

Hey look the heat index finally got down below triple digits....at 9PM...only 99F now!

You Glorious Bastard

Joecephus and The George Jonestown Massacre is some good shit

Kiss my ass Kiss my grits Adios, you son-of-a-bitch I think its time I say goodbye GOODBYE MOTHERFUCKER!

I doubt it would, hell I've slept through worse hurricanes

I'd much rather have an interstate high speed rail network. Kind of like Amtrak, only far more useful. Oh well

NYC to Shanghai nonstop is 15 hours @ ~500 mph, I don't think a rail can match that either

They're speculating that said rail system could connect NYC to London, although that is a bit far fetched. NYC, LA or Chicago to Beijing or Shanghai would make much more sense

they're also considering using the tunnels to run transmission lines for electricity developed by tidal energy stations and wind plants in Russia to Alaska and Canada, as well as high speed passenger rail lines.

its really nine individual tunnels: one eastbound tunnel, one westbound tunnel, one service tunnel from the Chukchi Peninsula to Big Diomede Island (both Russian) one eastbound tunnel, one westbound tunnel, one service tunnel from Big Diomede Island (Russian) to Little Diomede Island (American) one eastbound tunnel, one westbound tunnel, one service tunnel from Little Diomede Island to the Seward Peninsula (both American) Going straight from peninsula to peninsula was deemed too radical for reasons I can't recall at the moment

Intercontinental freight rail

Actually saw the proposed plan for this tunnel on a Science Channel program a week or so ago, pretty huge undertaking

Yes, yes I did just put a double decker Moon Pie in my protein shake...mmm...liquified moon pie...
