30 Days or Less to Live - Forced to Evolve
Hypothetically speaking-
If these were your last 30 days on Earth,
What would you do?
What would you do?
How would you spend them?
Would you make up for your past mistakes?
Or would you live without a conscious of what tomorrow holds?
The calendar is coming to an end, and the real countdown now begins. The Maya were an incredibly intelligent group of people with knowledge that far exceeded their time period, let alone what we now deem as 'genius'. While I don't necessarily believe that the Mayan calendar ending on December 21st 2012 means humanity will end per se, I completely disregard new reports about a older calender being found with 'conflicting' information.
Riddle me this, say there was a devastating magnitude 10.2 earthquake somewhere in the world tomorrow- would you wholeheartedly take the first news article you find and print it in history books? Or would you wait until all the details emerge, until all the facts have solidified and print the last found report? The simple fact that anthropologists are actually coming out of the woodwork to 'disprove' what was already largely viewed as a myth is quite strange and troubling at the same time. How convenient for a calender to surface months before to 'calm' the small percentage of people who are 'fearful'. Do you see how silly this is? Debunking the already debunked, why bother? I'd rather maintain my good standing as a 'respectable' scientist.
Enough with the nonsense, because I could sit here all day going on and on about this but in the end it does not matter. What matters is the 'What ifs', and how you decide to handle them. Will you ignore, as RapNews so eloquently put it, "The self-imposed deadline for correcting our way of life"? How will you use the 'warnings', if you choose to acknowledge them at all?
The biggest question I find myself asking is how you can even ignore such a 'statement', as so many are at this very moment in time. When someone threatens your life, do you not acknowledge the threat? When someone gives you a grave warning, does it not sit at the back of your mind bugging you?
If the world does really end in 30 days we will be comparable to that of an ant hill, largely unaware of the giant wave of uncertainty coming for us just beyond the hill we preoccupy ourselves with daily. We would be gone, and the universe would not even let out a sigh.
The Mayans didn't really believe the world would end in 2012, but that doesn't mean we're out of the woods either. They believe that their Gods created four worlds, of which the first three were failures. The last world, our world, was successful- but it is also 'doomed' because everything with a deadline has to end. December 2012, our cut off date, is upon us my friends. The 5th world is coming, but the question still remains- what does that say for the fate of the fourth?
So I ask you, ironically hours after a holiday that you are supposed to take a moment out and be thankful for what you have, will take these days and make the most of them? Will you evolve to survive? Will you enter the fifth world without any regrets, leaving the past in the past- or will you cling to a dying world, ultimately sealing your fate?
CHOOSE YOUR WORLD CAREFULLY.

FL Beach At Normal Last Week FL Beach 3 Days Before Isaac
Tropical Storm Isaac made landfall in Haiti, barreling Port-Au-Prince as it almost gained hurricane status early Saturday morning. Isaac is forcasted to strenghten into a category 1 hurricane before it hits the Gulf Coast sometime between Monday Evening and Tuesday. Warnings have been issued for much of the gulf coast and Florida panhandle, with all other warnings and watches issued for Florida being discontinued.
On Saturday, Florida Governor Rick Scott placed the entire state of Florida under a State of Emergency ahead of the storm. Residents in the Keys were asked to evacuate as well as citizens that reside in low lying areas in Southern Florida. Port of Miami is scheduled to close at 7PM on Saturday night, as well as Key West International Airport- several flights from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and Miami International Airport have also been canceled as of midday Saturday. More closures to come soon.
Tropical Storm Isaac has already claimed the lives of at least four people in Haiti as well as one in the Dominican Republic. The Republican National Convention has not been cancelled but activities have been postponed until Tuesday afternoon. Florida Governor Rick Scott has already cancelled all of his activities in the convention center, as well as the Governors of both Louisiana, and Mississippi.
State of Emergencies have been issued in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and the Florida panhandle as of Sunday evening. Mandatory evacuations have been ordered for Louisiana, Alabama, and the Florida panhandle- and voluntary evacuations have been issued for Mississippi.
Hurricane Isaac made landfall at the mouth of the Mississippi River at 6:45 PM on August 28th, 2012. It was a category 1 hurricane at impact with wind speeds of 80 MPH +, multiple impacts may be expected. Isaac made a second landfall in Port of Fourchon and 2:15 CDT on August 29th, 2012- 7 years exactly from Hurricane Katrina's impact with Louisiana. At his strongest Isaac was a Category 1 Hurricane with sustained winds of 80 MPH and gusts over 100 MPH.

"Hello Boys, I'm baaaaack!"
Alas, we meet again.
It's been a while, hasn't it?
Over the last couple of weeks I've been busy hauling my tush across the Eastern Seaboard, from Bergen County New Jersey to the shark attack capital of Florida. Moving a thousand miles away isn't as easy as I thought it would be, but the rewards are by far reaching my expectations. I am now stationed a block from the ocean and luckily, I am just in time for Isaac.
I've missed you all so much, most of all I've missed the users who worked with me daily at my Above Top Secret forum during the 2012 Zombie Anotcalypse. Sorry guys, but the hunt had to be abandoned- I can assure you however that it has not been forgotten. Now that I live in the heart of the people-eaters, I am in more of a position to report instead of speculate.
Tomorrow morning I will be resuming hurricane monitoring beginning with the threat in the South East, Tropical Storm Isaac. Isaac is forcasted to become a hurricane by the time it rolls by Florida, so hopefully I'll get a show.
While The Disaster Caster has returned, I am on a bit of a Hiatus. I am currently working tirelessly to add new features to the site including.. DUN DUN DUN... videos! Yes, you heard (or perhaps read) me correctly- I am taking a stab at failing miserably in front of a camera.
While these changes are happening the site will still be at full access to you all and with 50+ articles and an amazing 'Resources' section you should be fully entertained. My hope is to first add video reports/coverage of hurricanes, and later segments on other material (don't want to spoil the surprise.. or perhaps prolong my suffering).
This is kind of a big deal for me, because I'm more of a writer than I am a video personality so hopefully I don't suck at it. My ideas and vision for the videos will hopefully pan out as planned and I hope that everyone enjoys the work and research I put into them.
I will still be updating on tropical storms and hurricanes that are a threat to US land. If I find time to write and post more articles I will certainly do so, but as of now I am trying to school myself in video editing, etc. Honestly, it'll probably seem like I never even left ;)
Stay Tuned for Tomorrows Update on Tropical Storm Isaac!
