the good news and the bad news

...

It's good that Matthew is passing well south of Agent BB2's Caribbean vacation, but the bad news is that it has just turned into a Category 4 hurricane, maybe swiftly turning into a 5, and since the top edge of the storm is hitting him, the wind and surf are too rough at his resort for snorkeling. I'm suing.

...

Sometime around 8:45 hurricane time, it began spinning up into Category 5, but I guess it's kind of going between 155 and 167 mph and only traveling at 9 miles an hour. It's still south of BB2 and the tropical storm end of it is the part directly south, but the clockwise wisps of the main hurricane are being thrown up and landing on his head.

Still, I think, if I have this straight, he'll be outta there before the hurricane gets far enough north to fuck with his trip home. I think. He better.

...

As of 11pm hurricane time, it's fully a Category 5. The various internet experts are saying it may lose its eye temporarily, drop a jot in wind speed, and reform a new eye. This, I guess, frequently happens with storms this big.


always and any time....
