For the past few days, I’ve been paying close attention to Isaac, the nasty tropical system that’s churning through the Caribbean right now and that at one point seemed poised to wash out the Republican convention in Tampa.
While I’m still going to pack along some foul weather gear for the Tampa trip, one of the weather gurus I follow says Isaac is heading not for Tampa, but for either the Florida Panhandle or southern Alabama — possibly as a category 3 storm.
It still means a wet, windy time in Tampa. But it also means the convention won’t be cancelled had Isaac decided to come to town — and the poor sap(s) who booked the GOP into Tampa during hurricane season won’t be tarred and feathered.
One other thing to ponder about that other storm lurking out in the Atlantic. That’s the one Virginians should keep an eye on. According to Wxrisk, the farther west Isaac goes, the greater the chance that other storm will hit the southeast coast…and possibly bring a very rainy, windy and generally stormy time to, you guessed it, the Democratic conventioneers in Charlotte.
And Virginia.
Sort of makes you wonder what Gaia has against the two political parties, doesn’t it?
