Tropical Storm Barry

[Lucas Wiseman]

The National Hurricane Center just put out an advisory that the storm off the coast of Florida is now a tropical storm. Yeehaw! I love visiting Florida.... I'm supposed to fly out of Tampa tomorrow.

Mr. Bat. Mr. Football Bat.
To the bridge immediately, please.

I'm supposed to fly out of Tampa tomorrow.

Just go to the Keys and stand on top of something. You'll get a much cheaper flight.

And isn't June 1st the very first official day of Hurricane season? Not a good sign.

 

[Lucas Wiseman]

Yes, today is opening day for hurricane season.

"Yeaaaah baby, I'm gonna get you all wet and windy..."

Eh. It's a marathon, not a sprint.

Remember, Tuffy Rhodes was impressive on the first day of the season.

Besides, we're talking about bad weather in the Gulf of Mexico. What's the worst that could happen?

I thought the Giants were in Philly this weekend?

 

[poindexter]

I heard this thing grows larger as it gets older. And has a nasty disposition.

 

[MileHigh]

I've got friends flying out of Tampa tomorrow. Hopefully.

Florida needs this rain in the worst way.

This is probably more of a good thing.

it's the ****ing rainy season. we'll get plenty of rain here in florida.

a tropical storm - much less a hurricane - is not a good thing.

Don't even think of bothering me until it is a 2.

All child's play until then.

And, yes, Lake Okeechobee needs a WET rainy season.

Not true. The Southeast relies on the rains from tropical systems. Yes, it's the rainy season in Florida. But if you recall, the state -- and region -- are in a drought in the worst kind of way. The area, as long as the system doesn't grow any more in the sense of wind and is quick moving, is exactly what the area needs.

The region's undergrowth (and we're talking forest floors and such) is so dry right now. While I don't wish a hurricane/tropical storm on anyone, I do, for the sake of the region's natural life, hope the rains can put a dent in what has been a really dry spring.

Wet I can see. Windy, not so much.

I always thought that meant he was going to make her blow ...

This will be mostly rain. Too much all at once, but mostly rain.

If the path holds, it oughta cure some of the fire stuff going on in SE Georgia.

 

[novelist_wannabe]

Metro Atlanta has been getting smoke from those fires for the past two weeks. Tropical storm sounds pretty good right now to people there who could use some clean air. 'Course, if the Flint or Oconee crests at 25 feet above flood stage, they'll surely look at it differently.

Yeeeessssss? Sorry ... was en route to a high school playoff game and just got settled.

I worry more about the storms which take a more westerly trajectory.

I think Florida and Georgia could use a good rain right now, myself.
