Riveting satellite image: double-whammy storms approach USA

[SpiralHawk]

Original Update
We are continuing to watch two Tropical Storms.

First, Tropical Storm Gustav, which is starting to leave Jamaica, and approach the Cayman Islands. Hurricane Warnings are up for the Cayman Islands. People there should rush preparations to completion. Beyond that, Gustav has a chance to clip the western coast of Cuba, or enter the Yucatan Channel and has a window for rapid intensification somewhere between Jamaica and the west coast of Cuba.

2. Is it just me, or is Gustav moving REALLY SLOW?

IIRC, that's how Katrina rose to such city-destroying intensity.

6. Exactly right

Picking up all that moisture from the Gulf.

It's already a Category 3. That's not good.

7. It's supposed to pick up speed in the Gulf

and be a pretty fast moving storm. Remember, though, it wasn't the wind speed that did the damage. It was the torrential rain.

Hanna, on the other hand, is projected to mosey around east of any land until her tops get sheared off and she poops out.

8. Unless Gustav pulls a Massive Republicon Suck Jobbie

and lures Hanna on to shore in an epic 'No-such-thing-as-a-Republicon-Global-Warming-Smirk' Blackside Occultist Dance of Destruction.

Gack! All this shit going down, and we still have republicon homelander occultist FAIL Freaks at the helm of our Great Land.

3. It's amazing.

The wind charts look ominous:

4. Looking for gays

Looking for gays to punish??:evilgrin:

5. Looks like a one two punch

but hey, there is no such thing as oh global warming

9. Double Whammy
