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."

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

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

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

[annathepiper]

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

*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)...

:)

[brightbeak.livejournal.com]

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

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.

[annathepiper]

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

I hear Tropical Storm Lisa is brewing now!

[annathepiper]

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

[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! :)

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, I've been hearing news reports coming in--and all jokes aside, yeah, the state's gotten hammered. :/ I heard on the radio this afternoon that 2 million people down there are still without power. That's just got to be majorly sucktastic.

[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!

[brightbeak.livejournal.com]

what they don't tell you is that there are some places that were just getting power back from Charley when Frances came calling, and were just getting power back from Frances when Ivan came calling, and well, just starting to recover from Ivan, and well... here came Jeanne!
this could be a record season for the number of hurricane names being 'retired' too :(
this is just WAY suck-tard!
