Anyone who says they're not afraid at the time of a hurricane is either a fool or a liar, or a little bit of both.

Through meteorology, we know essentially how hurricanes form, even though we can't say where the next storm will arise.

There is no significant man-made Global Warming underway and the science on which the computer projections of weather chaos are based is badly flawed.

I also believe that Hurricane Katrina did reveal a weakness in our energy supply systems, highlighting the reliance this country has on the gulf coast for our energy resources.

If a hurricane strikes, we can blame the president for not being there; we can blame Congress and FEMA; we can blame the state governments; but in the end, it's the mayors and the local city governments that have to be prepared for emergencies and be prepared to act.

It's not just a hurricane. It's the demand for gas in China... We're paying $3 a gallon, and the oil companies are making historic profits every quarter.

I've been through quite a few hurricanes. I worked in North Carolina, where there's a housing development whose name was Landfall.

Hurricanes are dangerous things, and they're no fun to go through. And if you come out of it in one piece and your house comes out of in one piece, it's no fun living with no electricity for a day or a week, a month, whatever it is. And I speak, unfortunately, from personal experience on that matter.

We ignore slow environmental changes unless they are crisis-driven, such as hurricanes in Florida.
