1. Gonna blow the RNC right off the airwaves.

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?!?

3. Nope. All trump cares about is that TV time.

2. Oh, no!

[Croney]

4. And I'm flying from Boston to Baton Rouge on Thursday.

At least...I think I am.

5. I would keep an eye on that flight.

6. Clear evidence that the Deep State has a weather machine.

8. It's the windmills.

10. !

19. Alternatively

nature may just hate the Con.

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.

7. Jeez.

Right now they are both projected to go to the same area.

9. Dang. :-( 2020 been drunk all year and definitely needs to go home! Lyft this mess outta here!

11. There's more!

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.

13. Eats, Shoots, and Leaves

Wow 4 hurricanes
Now that’s something!

14. Sharpie Stat!

N/T

18. More time for golf

15. Both may also hit Cuba but as tropical storms

although I don't think Marco will be a direct hit for Havana

[progree]

16. Those maps showing likely storm path look weird without the black sharpie, like they're

missing something. Can't look at those things ever again without imagining a black sharpie extension into another state or two.

17. Do you even bother cleaning up after the first one?

I say no.
