(34,857 posts)Remember in 2012 when Romney had to cancel the first night of his convention because a hurricane hit? It was in Florida, but I think the hurricane (maybe tropical storm) was in Louisiana, so, it wasn't out of danger or anything.
Think Trump would do such a thing?!?

By the way TS Laura will affect Puerto Rico, DR, Cuba and parts of the Bahamas before strengthening in the Gulf. Marco may also affect North West Cuba.

(14,971 posts)Oh, great: NASA says an asteroid is headed our way right before Election Day
Yep. The celestial object known as 2018VP1 is projected to come close to Earth on November 2, according to the Center for Near Earth Objects Studies at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
Its diameter is 0.002 km, or about 6.5 feet, according to NASA's data. It was first identified at Palomar Observatory in California in 2018.
NASA says there are three potential impacts, but "based on 21 observations spanning 12.968 days," the agency has determined the asteroid probably -- phew! -- won't have a deep impact, let alone bring Armageddon.
The chance of it hitting us is just 0.41%, data show.
