The Atlantic's third storm has formed in record time, and it's a threat:

Last year's Atlantic hurricane season ranked among the top five most-active years on record. Its third named storm, Chantal, did not form until August 20.

By contrast, today is June 2, and the Atlantic's third named storm of the year just formed. [...]

This is the earliest ever in the Atlantic season (which, however imperfect, has records dating back to 1851) that the third named storm has formed in a given year. The previous earliest "C" storm was Colin, on June 5, 2016.

[...] The storm is trapped within a large oceanic circulation, known as a gyre, and high pressure over the northern Gulf of Mexico is also inhibiting its motion. As a result, Cristobal will probably wobble around the Bay of Campeche until at least Friday. This will cause torrential rainfall in Southern Mexico and parts of Central America this week.

[...] The bottom line is that a tropical system is likely to be in the Gulf of Mexico late this week, bound for the United States, over waters warm enough to sustain intensification. The time for preparations is definitely now.

    If we could mod as deserved, in meatspace? A savage beating with the Clue by Four about the beak until it shattered into a handful of Clue by Three Sixteenths. Buzztard is as much a sociopath as Trump, just without the malignant narcissism or the go-getter attitude. He's even lazier than he is evil, and thank fuck for that. We just have to put up with his shitposting until he, I don't know, asphyxiates on some jackboot or another.

    You'd do yourself a service by learning what "shitposting" means.

      Oh, I *know* you actually mean what you post, but it's so utterly delusional and content-free it doesn't even rise to the level of troll, whatever your intentions were. You're such a complete failure you can't even troll your own fucking forum properly.

        So says the stupid bitch who knows so little about technology and science that it's only capable of shitposting about politics. Let's also not forget that you absolutely love to proselytize others with your bullshit religious beliefs. You wished many people you dislike politically to die painful deaths from COVID-19. Meanwhile, you kept going to work while ill, being fully aware that you were putting elderly and immune compromised people at risk of catching COVID-19 from you. It was all because you're a selfish and greedy bitch who is more concerned about its paycheck than curtailing the spread of a dangerous and highly infectious disease. You're a hypocritical bigot who hates Jews, Muslims, and Christians. Perhaps you should have avoided spreading disease to your customers by wearing your pointy white hood to work, you worthless piece of shit.

          Hold it, hold it...this entire thing was an obvious troll, but where did you get "going to work while ill?" I get seasonal allergies from mid-June to early September but haven't been sick with anything worse than a mild cold in years. What the actual fuck? And, if you're familiar with the phrase "love the sinner, hate the sin," take it to heart: my problem is with the Abrahamic *religions,* not their followers, the same way a doctor takes an issue with a disease, not the patient.

          You are one twisted son of a bitch, you know that?
