Hurricane intensity forecasting studied by NASA scientists
GALVESTON NASA scientists Owen Kelley and John Stout presented findings at the American Meteorological Society meeting in Seattle. They linked hurricane intensity increases to the formation of a tall rain cloud or hot tower above the storm, offering a potential improvement in predicting rapid strengthening. Bill Read of the Houston Galveston Weather Service noted forecasters are good at tracking paths but struggle with intensity forecasts.

Episcopalians move to form protest group nationwide
Conservative Episcopalians meeting in Plano plan a church within a church movement opposed to the consecration of a gay bishop and liberal trends. The group, led by Bishop Robert Duncan, gathers 100 bishops and laity from about a dozen dioceses, representing roughly 235,000 members, though backers insist it is not a schism.
