    "Jimena still looked awe-inspiring even when it diminished to a tropical storm."

    Well, tropical storms are kind of awe-inspiring. Lotta energy in a system like that.

    Actually, Jimena was a Category 4. There's speculation that it was briefly a 5, but it was never official. I think it dropped down to a 3 before it made landfall. And Southern California isn't getting any of that rain. Dammit.

    I just sprained my brain thinking about life based in that environment instead of ours. Methane=Water, Ice=Magma, etc.

    As you sit and enjoy the view from your condo overlooking our beautiful methane lakes, spare a thought for other Titanians less fortunate than you.
    Did you know that some latitudes of our beautiful moon rarely see rainfall? That massive drought has left many struggling to survive?
    But there is something you can do! The Titanian Omnipresent Deity Believers Larva Fund urges you to consider sponsoring a larva, pod or small collective in a drought struck region.
    For Just $2.50 (Titan) a day, less than the cost of a cup of coffee you can make a moon's worth of difference to the nymphal offspring of Titanian's less fortunate than you! Please consider donating today.

    Around the time of Katrina, I came across a government web site which had lots and lots of satellite photos of hurricanes, and I downloaded this image (of Katrina), which is now one of the desktop pictures of my laptop. Unfortunately, I cannot recall which web site that was.

    @Stephen Goldmeier:

    No problem.

    Of course, though, these images are all fake because, really, who is naive enough to believe in satellites?

    Besides, we all know that the Earth is flat, and you can clearly see that the pictures show a curved Earth. And no stars!

    Damn you, government agencies that use Photoshop...

    So realtors working for Super-Villains looking for a secret lair location will be falling all over each other in a mad bidding war, the likes of which have never been seen before?
