Actually, London sits a few feet above sea level. And while they are at risk from the Thames, it's not really in same 'boat' as a place like New Orleans (and one can only hope they are better prepared).

Should sea levels continue to rise however, there will be a time when places like London are drowned completely.

Some victims of Katrina are on their way to be helped with free housing in my area in Ohio, and my wife and I have donated goods to the local organization that will deliver them. Only mention it to encourage fellow gaming Americans who can afford it to do what they can as well.

Just be careful, lots of sub-human scum faking Red Cross web sites and stuff to steal donations.

what a bunch of wankers

Thats low

Anyway, on the london front, the new barriers changed a 200 year problem into a 500 year problem ...

its still a current problem as the thames is a tidal river

Anyway, yeah still not the same as new orleans

Infact, the huricane missed, they think a wave hit the levys and weakened them

But they actually broke beacause the lake next to it's water levels rised so much they buckled under the pressure ...

Indra must have a urinary sphincter problem or something...

Rains are just falling, trains have stopped, paranoia fills the air once more...

Anyways, I have no school this Saturday, thanks to the rains. Damn it! I still had to wake up at 5 because of the damn school...
