Projected path of Tropical Storm Isaac as of August 22, 2012 (NOAA.gov)
THE GOP CONVENTION in Tampa could be in for some improvisation.
It’s been 90 years since a major hurricane made a direct hit on Tampa. The last to strike Florida’s west coast was Hurricane Charley, a Category 4 packing 150 mph winds. The Aug. 13, 2004, storm was small yet powerful — and was initially forecast to strike the Tampa Bay area before it turned and slammed Port Charlotte, about 100 miles south
Jeff Masters, director of meteorology at Weatherunderground.com, said long-range storm track predictions five days in advance are notoriously inaccurate, often off an average of 260 miles. But Masters said the climate situation has improved chances that Florida could be in the system’s sights during the GOP event that runs Monday through Thursday.
“It would take a perfect storm of a scenario where a bunch of factors all conspire together,” Masters said. “But we definitely have to watch this one.”
Guess GWAD is gonna punish all the UBERChristian/repugnantklan/teabaggers for not doing enough to make forced pregnancy mandatory and to at least brand all gays on the cheek with a G.
LOL
ROTFL. Exactly. Mr Robertson, Mr. Graham and company, are pretty quiet.
Are we 100% sure It’s not Allah…
Ah yes, rooting for a hurricane to put 20 million Florida uninvolved residents at risk of death to tickle your trite political fantasies. Taylor Marsh labels me a hyper-partisan. Humanity labels you sick and depraved.
Don’t take it too personally, co, there are a lot of hyper-partisans around here.
I’ve lived through some serious storms, including the Northridge earthquake, so I don’t find anything funny about extreme weather.
Ahhhhh….the crocodile tears of concern and caring from the right when it’s them rich white repugnantklan/teabagging.UBERChristians who might be in danger…it is soooo heart warming.
That’s just wrong.
If lovin you is wrong….I don’t wanna be right!!
