We can only hope that the storm will get so huge it will cover the entire planet and thrust the planet into a super ice age.. Ridding it once and for all of the blight humanity represents..

Something like the Movie "day after tomorrow" But instead of leaving survivors it kills everyone.

Sorry .. Just a little tired right now..

i hope theyres minimal damage and no ones hurt or going to be hurt

This is not really a funny situation to be joking about.. A cat 4 storm hitting anywhere could be really bad... but we are talking New Orleans...
