  1. Warming to the subject

    As much as this week's bone-chilling temperatures might offer "cold" comfort to those who deny its existence, the threat of climate change earned a prominent spot in President Barack Obama's inaugural address on Monday. That was welcome, if overdue, given how little discussion this enormous challenge to the nation's well-being received during last year's campaign.

  3. Researcher aims to take guesswork out of utilities' storm preparations

    If a hurricane threatens to barrel up the Chesapeake Bay in the next month, many Marylanders will watch the forecast with dread. Memories of spending days without power after Hurricane Irene and the June derecho are fresh and painful.

  5. Citizen involvement made the difference when Hurricane Isaac struck

    In the interest of journalistic accuracy, Hurricane Katrina did not devastate the city of New Orleans ("We built that," Sept. 3). The hurricane itself did very little damage. Monday, after the storm left, citizens discovered that water was rising in the...

  7. We built that

    The whole nation was metaphorically holding its breath last week as Hurricane Isaac bore down on New Orleans, almost seven years to the day after Hurricane Katrina destroyed large parts of the city. Fortunately, the destruction inflicted by Isaac didn't cause anywhere near the damage wrought by the earlier storm, which left much of the city underwater after the levees protecting it collapsed. Though Isaac flooded some surrounding areas to the roof-tops and left hundreds of thousands of residents without power, the loss of life in the city proper was minimal compared to Katrina's toll, and the scale of property damage was also substantially less.

  8. Katrina didn't devastate New Orleans; faulty levees did

    A few comments on your editorial "We built that" (Sept. 3): Hurricane Katrina was not the cause of the massive devastation, destruction and deaths in New Orleans these seven years ago. Rather, it was the failure of the man-made levees and floodwalls...

  11. Hurricane Isaac almost forced ALMS starter to miss race

    Dennis Paul nearly didn't make it to the start of Saturday's American Le Mans Series race. Considering that Paul has served as the starter since the circuit began in 1999, and has only missed two races in North America, his absence might have been noticed in Baltimore.
