I can't wait until they start giving hurricanes cutesy "virtue" names like Precious, Destiny, Patience, Journey, Serenity, etc. The kid usually ends up being the antithesis of the name, as will the storms.

What we need are more ethnically inclusive names because clearly you're all a buncha racists.

The National Weather Service needs to issue gender identity and pronouns for hurricanes. For far too long, we've been shamefully presumptious, bigoted, and narrow-minded toward these misunderstood immigrants.

Finally. Somebody around here gets it. Thank you.

Why does it have to be a HER-icane? Why can't it be a HIM-icane or a They-icane?

Henceforth, all hurricanes, err, uhh, personcanes shall be issued a suitably diverse name AND appropriate pronouns depending on how the personcane chooses to identify (which can change depending on the personcane's feelings that day) or whatever the personcane's kindergarten teacher wants to call it.

No matter what they call themselves or how they identify, the real problem with them is they all spin to the left.

Tropical depressions, and CAT-1 storms could be either hericanes or himicanes (rather meek in relation to the more powerful storms). CAT-2 and above are obviously hericanes (very angry just like most women when not getting her way) and should be named/renamed accordingly.

Weather channel was just broadcasting live from the downtown Gville plaza. No homeless were spotted in the background. UF Hilton?

Publix out of bread and ice. I was prestocked on essentials anyway, so no big deal. I'll throw some bottled water in the freezers tonight to make more ice. The liquor store at Publix was closed though, so I had to circle around Winn Dixie for vodka and Rumple. Plug in my Halos tonight, and I'm all set.

I topped off my gas tanks, and have 4 tanks of propane, rum, coke and food. I’m ready.

Well, so much for my game watch party.
Likely deployed to work Logistics/USAR coordination at Orange County Convention Center. They asked me to be there Tuesday night but Ocala is on the front side so I said I'll get there after the storm passes my house

One bright spot is that there are only really nice places to stay near the Center.
