HOLY CRAP!

According to posts by catrysa, who is quoting the the Weather Channel, Ivan is coming back to smack Texas and Louisianna as a tropical storm. I am flabbergasted. That is one HELL of a determined storm! If I weren't a heathen, and I were a Southerner, I'd be wondering what the hell my states did to piss off the Powers That Be!

One word, many incarnations: Bush.

The Almighty is working on Florida. His aim's a bit off, that's all.

Cue, in voice of thunder. "Dang. Missed."

Lucky for me I didn't have any tea in my mouth when I read that. *chortle*

[annathepiper]

Bwahahaha!

Sounds like Nethack, under the right conditions! (Why yes, I AM a hopeless geek...)

*snicker* I wasn't going to say...

I think being a heathen *is* your answer. ;) Mama Nature is getting angry with certain peoples in that region.

Innnnteresting!

from a stand point of a deity that is on record for weather-related catastrophes & smiting, this could/would/should be considered "el clue" ;)

We'll have to see how many more storms smack Florida before November. ;P :)

[brightbeak.livejournal.com]

i just hope that if there's more of them, that they leave well enough alone in the caribbean! those folks are BEYOND their level of being able to cope. oy!

[annathepiper]

Yeah--another thing I heard about on the radio this afternoon was how badly Jeanne had smacked into Haiti. Lots of people getting killed by the weather down there.

[brightbeak.livejournal.com]

the caribbean as a whole will be lucky to escape the full hirricane season w/ a deathtoll under 3k :( and that's WAY too many! and yes, haiti is expected to have a death toll nearing 2k when they finally tally up the missing/dead/etc :( that's just not good!

[annathepiper]

Yeah. Occurs to me that some energies or prayers sent to one's divine power of choice for those folks are called for. Like I said--all jokes aside, and all that. Half of me is appalled at the brutal weather beating they're taking and half of me is thinking, what can you DO but react with a bit of gallows humor? (That's easy to say, I suppose, when I'm not actually DOWN THERE.)

And it makes me think of Newfoundland in a way, and how the B'ys on the Great Big DVD talk about how all the folks in Newfoundland have developed this rather ironic way of looking at life, just because of the climate THEY have lived in. *grins* Not like it's hard to make me think of Newfoundland, but hey.

charley, frances & ivan all pommelled repulican counties in their trek's across florida & other southern states, maybe there's work to be done in texas? :) :)
one can hope :) :)

the link leafy just pointed to, THAT would be to what i as referring :) :) :)

bb

[annathepiper]

*snicker* Yeah, one must wonder. ;)

[brightbeak.livejournal.com]

considering my deity-of-choice has gone on record for smiting, this would be a more subtle manoeuvre, but still consistent w/ dealing blows by weather-related catastrophe's (of which He is on record also)...

:)

[annathepiper]

Hehehehehehe. "Smiting". I love that word. ;)

I hear Tropical Storm Lisa is brewing now!

[brightbeak.livejournal.com]

considering how devastated the state already is, how much more can they literally endure?
and yes, 'smiting' is SUCH a lovely word! :)

Acutally, Hubby's quote was:

"God is exacting his revenge upon Florida for Hanging Chad."

My quote: I bet you're asking yourself... was that four tropical storms or five. Well, you should be asking yourself just one questions... are you feelin' lucky.. florida?

[annathepiper]

*snorfle* And I wonder how many more storms are brewing down there! I wonder how far we'll make it through the alphabet before hurricane season is over.

[brightbeak.livejournal.com]

esp considering hurricane season goes till Nov 30
oy!

[annathepiper]

Yeah, I shudder to think. Gah! On behalf of Florida, I do rather hope things settle down down there soon.
