What planet are you on? A stalled hurricane leads to catastrophic flooding.

Up to 30 inches expected in some areas, few places can handle that much
rain.

Consider this scenario: There is a propane tank near your home and it
springs a leak. The emergency crews say that if it blows, it could
take out your entire house.

1) If it blows and takes out only 1/2 of your house instead of the
whole house, would you consider it a dud?

2) Even if you predict that it will only take out 1/2 of your house,
would you stick around to find out?

3) If a category 1 "dud" hung out over your house for 3 days, would
you be able to observe planets and star clusters through the cloud
ceiling?

In 1995, the forecasters erred on hurricane Marilyn, but in the other
direction: conservatively. The devastation was unreal. It was "only"
category 3, yet it left 1/3 of St. Thomas homeless, destroyed 1/2 the
schools and our only hospital, and turned one steel framed building
into a heap of twisted scrap metal.

(bows to the adoration ..thankyou thankyou)


I understand that weather forecasting is not an exact science. When
you second-guess the meteorologists, you're bound to be right at least
some of the time. But don't expect me to come to you for my next
weather forecast.

Sorry if i sound cranky. Half of my extended family lives in the path
of this monster. The other half is now looking anxiously at Ivan.
Please excuse me while i go listen to the weather report.

And precisely how much larger does this make your penis?

I'm watching it via Weatherbug when I'm online.

I'm happy to be out here in the Mojave Desert and not back there.
