Marianne Pearl Interview

Hurricane Season 2008

Hurricane Dolly bringing rain to South Texas.


Watch it on the Brownsville Weather Radar Loop

or this satellite water vapour loop

"Dolly is expected to produce total rain accumulations of 6 to 10 inches, with isolated amounts of 15 inches, over much of South Texas and Northeastern Mexico over the next few days.

Coastal storm surge flooding of 4 to 6 feet above normal tide levels, along with large and dangerous battering waves, can be expected near and to the north of where the center makes landfall."

The truth is, it has elements of both ruthlessness and martyrdom. And I have tried to make them appear in a true proportion."

    "War may sometimes be a necessary evil. But no matter how necessary, it is always an evil, never a good. We will not learn how to live together in peace by killing each other's children.
     The bond of our common humanity is stronger than the divisiveness of our fears and prejudices. God gives us the capacity for choice. We can choose to alleviate suffering. We can choose to work together for peace. We can make these changes - and we must."
