Hurricanes Suck

[Mzo]

Hurricane Frances also has a heraldic quality. Camille Paglia observed on Salon in February, 2003 that the explosion of the Columbia shuttle on the eve of the war on Iraq was a "stunning omen," one that would make a Roman general think twice. A catastrophe strewing death, fire, and human remains across Bush's home state of Texas was inauspicious to our undertaking; and so it has proven to be. Frances is the second hurricane to afflict Florida, home of brother Jeb, in rapid succession.

The gods are not pleased.

But but but... this is the first time in 90 years I've felt that god was truly in the White House ;__;

Yeah okay, there are nutjobs on either side of the fence. This guy is no different than Pat Robertson saying that hurricanes and fires are divine punishment for all the gays in Florida.

I figured that nature just hates Mzo... maybe Ivan will fling him into Oz this time around...

Our power just got back on today around 4 pm, after being out since 2-3 PM on Sunday. Fuckin' hurricanes.

Same here - but from what I hear it was out since Saturday night in this area. Good thing I was out of town I guess.

My apartment has some pretty good water damage - like whenever it rains now, water runs down the walls from the ceiling in certain areas but besides that nothing else I own got trashed or smashed --

but if Ivan comes this way, Im sure that will change. Category 5 - damn - I dont think Ive seen a Category five since Camille. And I didnt see Camille, Ive just heard it was the apocalypse of all hurricanes.

Was Andrew a 5 ?

[Mzo]

I'm pretty sure Andrew was a 4.

It looks like it's veering to the west a bit... good news for me. But it's so huge we're gonna get some of it no matter what =/

You know, I was going to do a pic of Ivan transforming into Onslaught and saying "Behold my mighty hand". However, the proposed budget for that picture, including Photoshop, motion capture technology, immigrant workers, cocaine for all of my actors, would put the cost at 80 mil.

I have 80 cents to my name. :emo:

You mean hang gliding?

Shut up no. I meant gliding with your hands. It's popular right now amongst the hip. Get with it unhipster.

I'm pretty sure Andrew was a 4.

Oh you... 4 or 5, i'm flattered either way. tee hee.

I have to say, I'm really disappointed in the Ivan coverage thus far. "Ivan the Terrible" is a satisfactory but cliche name, but the media could have hit it out of the park and called it "Ivan Draga" complete with Dolph Lundgren's head superimposed over the eye and kickass soundbites.
