Names plz

Edit: kurto pwned politics imo

Anyway if you live in the path of this thing, gl and stay safe. I don't think it really belongs here, though. There's no natural forum where weather updates should go.

I opened this thread up assuming that McCain was accusing Obama of hoping for a hurricane for political purposes.

Doyle Brunson is supporting Obama so this hurricane must be Obama's fault.

Q.E.D.

The storm is absolutely crawling, less than 5 mph movement. This could turn into a major flooding event. Nobody expect this, people took this Hurricane lightly since it was only a moderate tropical storm 24 hours ago.

South Padre Island and Brownsville are getting pumelled. Allow link to load.

PS: I'm not implying that this thread is crappy, just not really politics material. Also, kurto should be banned. When we ascend the throne, such actions will be dealt with quickly and brutally.

Agreed, PVN, I have thoughts on a Constitutional convention to make a government that will rubber stamp everything you do. Do you approve?

All these posts are contaminating this thread. I am asking posters to restrict their comments in this thread to Hurricane Dolly. There are other threads were you can argue about Hussein Obama, and war hero nominee John McCain.

South Padre Island and Brownsville are getting crushed. Rain is going to be absolutely terrible and the wind is really coming on strong. This storm is crawling and flooding is going to be a huge event. There are a lot of people devastated by this storm.

Here is the loop - allow it to download:

Jim was just on the phone (Weather Channel) in South Padre Island. The Radisson he is staying at, the roof is coming off. The Weather Channel vehicle has lost windows. Rain is coming down at 5" per hour.

The storm is moving so slow, it will go into Thursday in this region. Rio Grande is nearby.
