Hurricane Dean update

Post by **Anthony** » Fri Aug 17, 2007 10:19 am

Just want to reiterate that the USVI is still under a Tropical Storm warning. It definitely seems that Dean is on a track far to the south of the islands, but you can't be sure this thing is not a threat until it passes. We are still posting updates, as well as some images and whatever else we can find on the <a href="http://www.caribbean-on-line.com/hurric ... >hurricane blog</b></a>.

If the Howard Dean picture/post is meant to be funny, I guess I don't have that kind of sense of humor. Not about a hurricane anyway.

Hurricanes are by no means funny, but that Howard Dean superimposed over the hurricane map is hysterical! Good job! Thanks for the giggle!

Oh yeah, I agree, there is nothing funny about hurricanes and such.

HOWEVER, I did giggle when I saw the picture of Howard Dean. (shame on me!)

Toni, don't be so hard on verve. A little levity injected into a serious situation is not a bad thing. I believe everyone here takes hurricanes very seriously, but c'mon, you have to be able to laugh, or you'll go crazy or get ulcers, or something.

p.s. creative use of Dean's picture, verve.....

Verve,
Hysterical...thanks for a much needed laugh!

BTW...I take hurricanes very seriously.

I'm from Louisiana so I know hurricanes all too well--this was a light hearted joke all in good fun

! I wonder if islanders throw Hurricane Parties like we do in Louisiana?

God bless all those in Deans path, please don't let it come this way or to USVI.

I must confess that I just adore inappropriate, or what we call black humor. I don't really know why. I like to think that I am rather steady in a crisis...but nor can I resist the urge to crack a joke. Not everyone appreciates that....especially at funerals. It's either a deeply rooted subconscious psychological defense mechanism or just that I'm Irish.

I must admit that I don't understand the connection between Dean and the Hurricane Updates. (Other than his name, obviously. I get that part.)
Can someone please explain what I'm missing, because I want to laugh also!

If you followed the last presidential election as closely as I did, you would be laughing. Like him or not, Howard Dean was like a hurricane: loud, wild, and unpredictable.

I thought it was funny. As soon as I learned that this latest hurricane was named Dean, Howard was the first thing that came to mind. I'm surprised it took this long for someone to bring it home.

Ruth, it was the analogy, plus the perfect photoshop job with the fist in the path and the knowledge of the exact moment that the photo was taken that made it humorous to me. Not for a minute would I make light of the danger that those in the path of the real storm are in.

Ahhhh, politics.
Haha.
Okay, let's move on, I get it now. Thanks!
