I was listening to one of the Fox News babes this morning as I was preparing for work and she was talking about how it was frustrating that Isaac was not turning into a hurricane.
"Frustration" is what you feel when you get a knot in a shoe lace; not when tropical storms are not turning into a hurricane - unless you have a strange way of getting your jollies. I'm beginning to think a substantial amount of mental disorders is a requirement for being a television newscaster.
I've never seen such bony, skeletal women as on the Florida news. And it's obvious they dress out of the basement, in the dark. What's up with this area?
ReplyDeleteI don't like how Isaac is turning more and more eastward. Not that I'm worried about the rich folks at the NRC. I'm concerned about our poor butts and the damage that would come out of OUR pocket.
ReplyDeleteHurricanes need a lot of warm water to survive, or grow. If Isaac tracks more to the east and comes up through Florida, the result will be a lot of nasty rainy weather, but no severe wind or tidal damage.
I'm just learning about hurricanes, having become an expert at tornadoes, this is something new.
DeleteNow, it's supposed to turn west and 'graze' us.
That means WIND more than rain. Right?
Now what am I supposed to hope for? *confused*
I certainly pray that Isaac just turns into a rain storm, and heads up my way.
ReplyDeleteDon't see too many people around here that complain that the NWS tornado watches don't turn into tornado warnings all the time.
ReplyDeleteI evacuated from Rita, which involved over 24 hours in traffic, sleeping in a parking lot and spending hours worrying everything I had was gone. It was one of the most unpleasant events of my life and I shared this misery with literally millions of people.
Next time, would you choose to stay and ride it out? I think the fear of returning home would be worse than the fear to bug out.
DeleteStay safe. I was worried (again) about our p,ace in Ft. Myers but it looks like it might not be much of a worry for that area.
ReplyDeleteAnd I have to admit you're right about the Fox News chicks. I don't think they hire average looking girls. What's nice is that they don't just find cute ones, they are some damned SMART women. Compare that to Rachel Maddow.
I think it's really cool that Jess commented that he "evacuated from Rita".
ReplyDeleteand then Rita posts a comment...
ReplyDeleteYep, and I didn't get very far.
Not the first time someone's referring to Hurricane Rita saying only Rita and it gets me very confused. I'll admit to reading Jess' post a couple Ike's before I realized he wasn't talking about me. ;D
ReplyDeleteAs a child of the 60's, I always equate the name Rita with "Lovely Rita, the meter maid".
DeleteLocal WX guys are visibly disappointed when they have no brightly-colored pixel bursts to point to.
