#1 "Emily, why does she hate small caribbean islands?"
Hurricane Emily pounded Grenada Thursday, tearing the roofs off hospitals and other buildings, destroying crops and causing widespread flooding. The storm, which strengthened to a Category 2 hurricane as it moved across the Windward Islands, packed sustained winds of nearly 100 mph and headed west at about 18 mph. At 11 a.m. EDT, it was about 560 miles southeast of Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic and was predicted to strengthen over the next 24 hours.
Emily struck hard in Grenada, especially in the two northern parishes, St. Patrick's and St. Andrew's, and the outlying islands of Carriacou and Petite Martinique, authorities said. The damage comes as the island nation is still recovering from last year's devastating Hurricane Ivan.

#2 Em--you are out of control!

*sigh* It's so early in the season. All we're going to see for the next three months now are reporters "bravely" facing the elements to report on the latest hurricane coming ashore--as if this hurricane with its high winds and downpours were really any different than the last 3,783 freakin' hurricanes!

#5 I remember Emily has a cyan blue RantFem pioneer, but otherwise quiet, if a little too quick on the snappy, if you catch my drift. I hope she doesn't die in Brownsville. Then again I hope nothing else dies in Brownville.
