Tropical Storm Isaias Strengthens As It Moves Up The East Coast | Talking Points Memo

VERO BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Bands of heavy rain from Isaias lashed Florida’s east coast Sunday, with the tropical storm strengthening slightly and forecast to be near hurricane strength by the time it reaches the Carolinas.

This doesn’t look as strong as it did last night. I seriously doubt this makes it to hurricane strength. This is the dress rehearsal. There will be more to come this season.

Will Impotus Americanus send FEMA to his new home state ASAP or will they get TP?

And

Will Impotus Americanus claim “hurricane damage” again like he did before? :point_down:

The season is still young, plenty of time for that to happen.

I’m surprised DeSantis didn’t scream ‘fake news’ or something equally Rumpian.

It’s not particularly kind to mention this to the voters of Florida and the southern east coast, but it is timely. Remember, "Elections have consequences."

The storm did not affect the successful return of two astronauts aboard the SpaceX Dragon capsule, which splashed down into calm waters in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Pensacola.

Wonder if they brought back the blueprints the aliens used to build the pyramids?

Aliens built the pyramids obv

Of course they did Elon. Or do we call you Tony Stark? As in stark, raving mad.

But it is trying to. Running out of space relative to the coast though. Note the storms are starting to develop around the center a bit more than previously.

Even without the winds, I was hearing something like 7 inches of rain. That’s going to be a fair amount of flooding.

Weather news here says four to six inches of rain, maybe more, and we’re 100 miles inland.

NEW STUFF

Fresh from Larson’s Lab

I don’t want to mislead anyone here. This corner of the website—“New Stuff”—is not a resurrection of The Far Side daily cartoons. (Well, not exactly, anyway—like the proverbial tiger and its stripes, I’m pretty much stuck with my sense of humor. Aren’t we all?)

Give Trump a Sharpie and he will move Isaias out to sea.
