Currently a tropical storm, but they’re saying Barry will likely be a Category Hurricane 1 by Saturday when it makes landfall. My usual request for any of my readers (and everybody else) in the area; get out of the area. Your lives are worth more than any number of unnecessary risks.

#rsrh Giant oily super-hurricanes of DOOM.
(Via AoSHQ) So, CNN wants you to know that SOMETHING COULD HAPPEN:
A predicted busy hurricane season this summer is on a collision course with an unprecedented oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, and the results are anyone’s guess, weather experts say.
…and then they proceed to guess the three or four worst-case scenarios, ranging from destruction of the undersea life to and oily super-hurricane of DOOM aimed straight at Haiti. Which, admittedly, is a possible scenario; that it’s also a scenario guaranteed to increase hitcount for CNN is not really addressed.
And, shoot, it worked, didn’t it?
