Lord lord! Imagine why the Caribbean could’ve been in
Category five. She is up to no good. Go back to where you came from
CATEGORY 5?? I pray for the country it’s headed to
Staying over open waters is giving it strength….
Cat 6 coming soon to share licks. Who’s got the wheel? This one got pushed north but one will still get through soon enough. Zero to Cat 5 in the blink of an eye.
Storm anxiety hits hard. Even safe people can’t stop thinking about those in danger.
Wow. Can you believe and do you even understand what we have been speared?
