This should shut up those people who think there is global warming. What is surprising is that this year, there have been NO major hurricanes.

One Texas man trucked his to Louisiana and sold it. A few other tenants have hooked them up to vehicles and even taken their trailers to deer leases to have a place to stay while hunting.</em> Robbie- a little tip on wading through the media: Beware of words like '<em>some</em>'. Unless the journalist tells me exactly how many trailers were used as meth labs I'm going to believe<em> two</em>- (and maybe just <em>one</em>, if the reporter is especially dishonest). Just imagine the 24 year old reporter who likely wrote this story and what he had to do to make his story interesting enough to run in the Chronicle- a small number won't cut it.
