And Now, Ophelia

In Shakespearean terms, Ophelia was a madwoman, destined to commit suicide in a world gone even madder.

And so we have the Hurricane, Ophelia, hot on the trail of the now-departed, and much-rued, Hurricane Katrina.

Ophelia's path, like that of her namesake, is erratic, but she threatens America still.

Has any seriously thought about doing something about these hurricanes? Maybe an atomic blast or two near their cores might possibly do the trick, to disperse them into the four winds?

Ah, how we underestimate the power of Mother Nature. For hurricanes pack the punch of entire nuclear arsenals.

When it comes to madness, Nature is a true tempest.
