GLOBEY CATASTROPHES

A whole world of trouble.

UPDATE. P. Froward comments: “Has somebody told that Wolcott moron about this? Free porn for him.”

  1. All the trouble in the world at my fingertips—how cool is THAT?

  2. What a fantastic site, and not just for catastrophists.

  3. Holy Gaia Gas!  The list for erupting volcanoes is bigger than any of the others!

  4. I agree, a most useful site.  Why doesn’t FEMA have anything like this?

    Granted, I clicked on one disaster icon in Florida, only to discover that 24 non-endangered fish were killed during an underwater blasting operation to demolish an old bridge pier.  I guess it was a “disaster” for the fish involved, but to me that’s not much to worry about.

    Of course, I guess that proves I practice “specism”?  But I still like that map.

  5. I didn’t notice this incident listed. BTW, you don’t suppose this was the mighty Islamic fist or whatever we were going to get in the nose today?

  6. That really is a great site (and somewhere out there is a lefty who will see it and truly believe that George Bush has the “interactive” version).

    Some strange things: the guy in Scotland who died of anthrax, a man in England who died from rabbit flu, and an outbreak of blue tongue disease among the Belgians (oddly omitted is the outbreak of brown-nose disease among Ned Lamont’s new friends in the U.S. Senate).

  7. The ‘event’ in Hawaii is that a volcano is not erupting.

    I hear a rumor that an asteroid is not hitting New York City right now, too.

  8. Wow. There’s a biohazard in the “Charles River” in Portland, Maine, that was so catastrophic it has not only completely obliterated the river, but also erased is existence from written record and human memory.

    Damn you, wronwright, I told you, not in my backyard!

  9. Umm…what do the giant chickens mean?.

  10. Yeah, the Romanian rig is odd, a prelude perhaps.

  11. Wicked cool site! And not in a schadenfreude sort of way…

    Posted by Not My Problem on 2006 08 22 at 12:40 PM • permalink

  12. The giant chickens were normal chickens once — until they ate… GENETICALLY MODIFIED FEED! AARRGGHH! RUN!

    Has somebody told that Wolcott moron about this? Free porn for him.

  13. I must admit, the image of a giant blinking chicken over Spain made me laugh.

    Posted by Achillea on 2006 08 22 at 03:32 PM • permalink

  14. Yeah way cool. I missed the report on the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric telling me about the family staying in a cabin in Gatlinburg, Tennessee that had to move to another cabin because their floor got dirty from a small mudslide—but there is a three week old heat advisory for New York City. In a few months the site will be reporting snow in the northern latitudes. Shit like this is interesting for those with no base line with which to compare.

  15. 13: Achillea, there’s nothing funny about giant chickens.

    Heck yeah!! Just imagine the gazillions of dollars it’d take to retool our kitchenware’s industry to make ovens and fry pans big enough for those critters!

    Probably make good barbecue though.

  17. I’m not surprised at the Italian eruptions. I had a big bowl of stromboli last night, and I’ve been going ever since.

  18. #16: Grimmy, I’m thinking that they’d probably be kind of tough. Incidentally, when “giant chicken” was mentioned, I immediately thought of the Chicken Boo character in the Animaniacs cartoon series.

    #17: Andy -  “It’s an ill wind that blows no one any good”. NOW I understand that expression!

    ’m thinking that they’d probably be kind of tough

    That’s why I’d think barbaque is the better method. Slow roasting for a few hours with indirect heat and smoke from some good apple wood. Heck, even an old Marine Gunny’d come out tender.

  20. #19 Grimmy, now you’re making me hungry. Fire up the grill and bring on the Chickensaurs!

    Posted by paco on 2006 08 22 at 06:03 PM • permalink

  21. But how do you propose to kill a giant chicken?  Screw trying to take one out with a sword.  I vote for hitting ‘em with a truck.

    Posted by RebeccaH on 2006 08 22 at 06:24 PM • permalink

  22. Why did the giant chicken cross the strait?

  23. #15 - Hey, I remember that module!  They had damn-all for treasure, too.

  24. Storm names ain’t what they used to be.

  25. A bottle of red I opened last night was undrinkable - that was an absolute disaster.

    How come that didn’t make it?  What other catastrophes aren’t they telling us about?

  26. In global catastrophe news, raccoons have turned into cat-killing monsters.  I blame garbage bins.

  27. What a hoot that site is.  They go to the trouble of showing a magnitude 3.0 earthquake in Washington state.  And when the crowd at a Seahawks game is in full roar at Qwest Field it registers over at the University of Washington as a magnitude 3.2 earthquake.

  28. Australia and New Zealand are the only safe countries in the world, hehe.

  29. Holy crap, we’re all gonna die unless Algore or John Kerry becomes President! 

    Nothing bad in South America though, not with the firm hand of socialism guiding the continent…

    Even cooler is that Rove has the version where you can move stuff around!

  31. Dammit Spyder, I was going to say that - I will add, however, how do i apply for refuge in Oz?

    OH! Please say it aint so! You haven’t been took in by that cover story have yeh!?!

    I thought everyone knew all that was an MSM spin to a market/resource dispute between Popeyes Chicken and KFC!

  33. Why do we miss out down under??

    There was a pretty big earthquake down near Antartica in the past few days.  Why doesn’t that show up??

    Posted by Razor on 2006 08 22 at 09:27 PM • permalink

  34. Razor

    ... because it was down under?

  36. Anyone notice something about the hurricanes?

    This time last year we had got as far as Katrina (ie “K”) with all the turmoil that entailed, this year we’re only at “D” for Debby and no serious problems have so far been reported this hurricane season.

    Could last year’s freakish storms have been just that; a “freak” and not in fact the fiendish work of George W Hurricanemaker?
