Mother Nature has another (tropical) present brewing....

[strategery blunder]

A tropical depression has formed in the Carribean and it looks like it will get stronger.

I warn you now, lest teh $antorum finds ways to forbid the NHC from issuing necessary warnings, so that he may point to the alleged ineptness of the NHC to whore for his patron saint, AccuWeather.

6. The Moon is waxing full this week, with a Solar eclipse.

Moon will be full MoNDAY, OCT. 17 at 4:15 AM EDT at 24 Aries 13 (Su at 24 Libra 13).

So looks rough for Cuba -- but will the storm have time to get to the USA by then? Probably not. If it comes at all it will be after the Harvest Moon.

8. Tropical storm Alpha? We're out of regular names, yeah?
