Hurricane Ike – a really big one

Watching the news, and reading about Hurricane Ike making its way towards land, I see that it has hit Cuba.  Cuba has never seen a hurricane this bad, and the residents are making way towards safer ground as best they can.  This storm is a really scary one – I am worried about what will happen when it reaches the United States.  From what I understand it WON’T hit New Orleans, which is good news, but wherever it DOES land, it is going to do a huge amount of damage!  I think that this is just one more example of what global warming is doing to our world.  I don’t understand why the “administration” keeps insisting that global warming has nothing to do with this type of thing.  I think it has EVERYTHING to do with this kind of thing!
