I hope it doesn't turn into a real mess - creating all kinds of madness and mayhem, like its name sake.

8. I hope it heads directly for the W House and stays there for a few days

dumping inches of rain, heavy winds and a tornado or two in the oval office.

A storm with tornadoes in DC helped chase the British out during the end of the War of 1812 and kept our country and government safe and intact. Maybe something similar would save us from the current enemy(ies) in Washington.
