Early days but this looks like trouble in more than one area

1. yes, and I hope FEMA is prepared

[malaise]

4. Have they reached Iowa yet?

I hear the Con is heading there today

[2naSalit]

12. I guess they don't realize...

that Iowa is in the middle and several other states were hit by the same storm, Iowa's pretty small comparatively.

I hope all his appearances are unattended.

2. Was the seasonal forecast a busy one?

[malaise]

We were warned - looks like we will escape again

6. Looks like they got this one right. Not even September yet.

[malaise]

7. Late August is just as bad although the peak day is September 10

9. TS/Hurricanes Alpha, Beta, Gamma are possible names, per NOAA

IOW, we'll run through the A-Z options in English.

10. Phew!

[malaise]

13. A storm which, one hopes, will spin pointlessly at sea, and then vanish into obscurity

[malaise]

15. Just like lil Marco - let's hope

8. Thanks for the weather reports.

You are on the ramparts.

14. just watching the weather channel

the 98L (possibly named Marco, how ironic) looks like it may impact Florida, although still too early to tell. As someone who lived through Charlie-quick, little, sneaky thing it was, Frances-slow moving, lumbering, nail-biting event and Jeanne-the one that finally took shingles off my roof and Irma-lost my fence, I pay attention to every weather update. Thanks for the warning and update. Hope they all miss you. Stay safe. Fish spinners are the best kind of hurricane.

16. Yikes. We're gonna need a bigger Sharpie.

Seriously, though, stay safe and updated my East Coasters!
