Tropical Storm Erika Bears Down on...?

User avatar

Weather Alert For Different Places:

Tropical storm Erika is spreading strong winds and heavy rain throughout the eastern Caribbean Sea. Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands prepare for devastation as torrential rains and 60 mph winds approach from all directions. The easily excitable inhabitants of Dominica panicked, claiming their island might be washed out to sea. Local officials reassured them, explaining that their island was already out to sea.

Erika's highly organized center of circulation could be disrupted if it were to pass over the 10,000 foot peaks of Pico Duarte in the Dominican Republic. In this case tomorrow is likely to be sunny with a pleasant southerly breeze. The more likely scenario, however, is catastrophic flooding and 250 mph gusts as the result of the long anticipated westerly wind shear.

If Erika survives its passage over Pico Duarte, Florida and the Bahamas could be in for strong winds, high surf, beach erosion and heavy rain. However, warm Gulf Stream currents could lure the growing storm northward toward the Carolina's Outer Banks and a possible run up the eastern coastline with a probable landfall at Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

For now, all eyes on on the tiny town of Los Patos in Dominican Republic. If Erika spares this tiny coastal village then North America could be subjected to the highest winds ever recorded on Earth. (since last Tuesday) But don't worry - it may not happen. You have been warned.

It's about time we got our fair share of the horrendous Climate Apocalypse that Al Gore promised us was coming in 20 15 10 5 years next year this year real soon now when we least expect it.

Medical experts warn that bearing down can cause hemorrhoids. Allow some extra time, relax and let nature take its course. And more fresh fruit may help.

Komrades! As you may know, Dear Komrade Congress Womyn Sheila Jackson Lee as korrectly noted that no African-Amerikan names have been use by our national hurricane center for naming hurricanes, a clear case of racism!
I suggest correcting this with the following suggestions for names: Hurricane Nutrina

Hurricane Latasha

Hurricane Rotunda

"Black Names Matter"

Uberdave, when you invoke the name of She-Jac you MUST display imagery of the People's Triple-Crown Weave, which strikes fear of a discrimination lawsuit should it be mentioned, and simultaneously provides "cred" on the streets of her district.

The projected path looks somewhat like a boomerang. This one may come back on us and devastate the entire contiguous 48 states. Everybody should prepare for the worst possible outcome ever imagined.

Well kamrade Stakhanovets, I tried but it refused to load. Some one will pay for this...

Dave, you are a victim, and shall be duly compensated as soon as we redistribute funds from millionaires, billionaires and corporate jet-owners not contributing to the DNC. Your claim has been referred to the compensation experts borrowed from the Veterans Administration for their expert expertise. No doubt you can expect a direct deposit at any moment-keep watching...

Comrade Uberdave, there is a way around that problem. Click the link to Member Controls (at the top of this page), then Gallery - Manage Personal Albums - Upload Image - browse for image and select, then hit enter. Once the image is loaded. click on the image BBCode and copy it, then just paste it where you want it to appear in your post. you'll have to mess around with the image size a little so it's not too big but I'm sure you can figure that out.

There are likely to be waves, wind, and pieces of paper blowing around in the street. Listen to your weather radio for wave warnings, wind alerts, and litter scoldings.

And weather-dudes/dudettes clinging to the ends of microphone cables yelling, "It's windy!".

I'm not concerned. The government will take care of everything.

Ivan the Stakhanovets might have been a stool pigeon when he wrote:... more fresh fruit may help.

I find that Flamin' Hot Cheetos are efficacious in such situations so long as one is cognizant of the potentially unamusing side effects.

No, Comrade, it's a hockey stick.

Just remember that no matter what this storm does, my climate models predicted it.

Misogynistic weather-MEN are today calling Erika disorganized and weak. Had this storm been named for a white male, it would have known where it was going, plowed in at full strength without a lot of prepatory nonsense, gotten the job done and taken a nap.
Image As it is, the diminished remnants of that which was a storm may or may not make landfall, at a location we may not know until the last minute, without enough strength to open a pickle jar.

Deprived of adequate attention, Erika will go pout and soon find solace among her commiserating friends (all still jealous about how that bitch Katrina is STILL being talked about ten years later), and a pint of ice cream.

Probably Sour Grape Delight ice cream.

Comrades,
Hurricane Leroy is not an option. It will set that Emancipation thingy back 150 years. We no longer have 750,000 souls to sacrifice for the glorious cause of Federal Tyranny.
