Tropical Storm Katia was gaining strength in the mid-Atlantic Ocean on Tuesday near the Cape Verde Islands, and is expected to reach hurricane status by Wednesday evening.

Officials at the National Hurricane Center in Miami said the fast-moving storm could affect the Carribean, but that it’s too soon to tell whether or not it might reach the U.S. mainland. —BF

MSNBC:

The storm’s forecast track shows it moving north of Puerto Rico over the weekend and becoming a major hurricane with winds greater than 110 mph.

Katia was centered about 630 miles west-southwest of the southernmost Cape Verde Islands and was moving west-northwest near 18 mph.

.. I’m not hoping for any death or destruction in America.. or elsewhere! .. but it’s common opinion here in south Texas that anything, up to but not including a catastrophic storm, would be welcome if it will only bring some BIG rain!

We’re dying of the heat and drought here..

Adios!

Dear God

please hit ameriKa again

and again

and again

until that imperialist monstrosity

responsible for the slaughter of billions

and planning the extermination of billions more

in the very near future

(that’s all you can do about peak oil,
can’t impact supply or only marginally
i.e tar sands…  the only thing left is demand:
thin the herd…  you and me.
the next mutated bird flu is coming!)

hit it again and again

until it is no more.
