Looks like its going to be Hurricane Barry that hits Louisiana.

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.

Say Hi to Barry.

As God is my witness, that’s what they named it.

Barry is a four foot long sea worm that terrorized a British aquarium for some time before they figured out that it was there. This sucker can bite through fishing line, and is of course poisonous, so it now lives in its own tank.  Personally, I would have called in whatever government agency in the UK it is that handles alien invaders – every instinct I have is telling me that this thing has a saucer parked offshore, and maybe a cave lair full of cocooned victims – but then, I’m not a marine biologist.
