I typically write a few dozen articles every summer and fall about the Handmaiden media’s hyperbolic coverage of the Atlantic hurricane season. We didn’t have one this year. It’s approaching mid-October, and we’ve got our first of the year. And sure, yes, it absolutely has to have a mostly unpronounceable name. Isaias.
How about Cheniquwa or Lemonjello. Maybe something Nordic, or in Cyrillic, or just an unpronounceable symbol like the one Prince used briefly, after letting the quirky, creative side that made him a superstar consume whatever remained of his common sense. It’s a disease that infects wealthy entertainment types all the time, who then name their kids after fruit, then declare they have no gender. It has poisoned the well where hurricanes get named, and the absence of them all season long has made the wingnuts at the Climate News Network, CNN, delirious over this one.
Headline: Tropical Storm Isaias to threaten Gulf Coast as a dangerous hurricane
As opposed to the non-dangerous variety? And it’s not a hurricane yet, but it should be long enough to make landfall and count.
Isaias has sustained winds of 40 mph and is located about 600 miles south of the mouth of the Mississippi River. The storm is expected to push east above Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula and then turn sharply north toward the northern Gulf Coast as it strengthens.
It could peak as a Category 2 with 110 mph winds by Thursday night or early Friday before weakening a little before landfall as a dangerous hurricane.
CAT 2. Maybe CAT 3 now.
Not the coming of the CAT6 that climate cult enthusiasts prophesied, but they’ll take what they can get and hope it punishes Republican voters for daring to doubt their failed climate scientism.
Hurricane #!%$&! will then drift inland where the Gulf Stream will drag it up toward New England, maybe, probably. They don’t actually know, but it will land and go and OMG! WTF!! RAIN!!
Here’s the most current projection as of Friday morning.
And yes, CNN, hurricanes are always dangerous, as are the tropical storms that precede them. Hopefully not deadly, but that depends on many factors, having nothing in particular to do with Hurricane #!%$&! People die in Chicago every weekend regardless of the weather. The result of being trapped there by circumstances exacerbated by progressive policy.
A different storm, but one that looms even larger on our horizon. November 3rd. Depending on the outcome, we may be in for a much rougher ride than the Gulf Coast folks facing down the only Atlantic Hurricane of 2026…so far.
