Hurricane Hazel in 1954 was the last one to reach DC with hurricane force winds, so it's overdue for another one, and with global warming, maybe we can get lucky and a severe hurricane will hit DC on the 14th, and without warning, cuz the tyrant has gutted the National Weather Service. I can't think of a more apt way for Mother Nature to celebrate the day.

2. There are many protests being held outside of DC
3. One of my friends is coming in from out of town for her reunion that weekend.
Don't wish destruction on your fellow DUers.
Enjoy your stay.

Ultimately, that's just not a good look.

(12,756 posts)They don't realize that the "District of Columbia" doesn't exist in a bubble. There are about 600,000 residents of the District itself. And then there's the surrounding areas of Maryland and Virginia. A hurricane that comes up the Chesapeake Bay would cause major flooding in the Potomac and other rivers, causing massive flooding in lower-lying areas like Alexandria and National Harbor.
But yeah, that would be really funny to see, right?

would not be unwelcome.

(19,422 posts)..... a lashback/lashout of a $100 million dollar birthday party for this Fascist group of incompetent misfits and the star guest - the Tangerine Menace of a Fuhrer who thinks he is the next Messiah.
All the while - they send $100 million of tax payers money to give this buffoon an extravagant birthday party. As trillion dollar tax breakes go to the super-super rich - as the poor lose access to health insurance coverage, access to their Social Security Retirement funds, dumping Medicare, Medicaid, and food stamp/EBT assistance for the poor.
The super rich party on with our dime, the poor get shafted.
That is a bigger issue but not worthy of mention - than some snide remark about million dollar birthday parties being rained out by hurricanes and/or tornados, or inclement weather.
Pass a big piece of djt birthday cake -in the remote event I get in the fucking mood to wish him a happy happy birthday.
Is he dead yet ?

(491 posts)Granted it is a while off but ACCU Weather prediction for June 14 is feels like temp of 98 degrees. Trump might melt.

(19,422 posts)The Tangerine Menace will likely melt into clump of stinky shit. Imagine the flies and the maggots that will congregate at the birthday reviewing stand.
Hope Kegsbreath Hegseth has to sit beside the birthday boy and smell the rancid odors emminating from his dirty diaper. Barfbags might be in order.

(6,473 posts)Some folks are just too literal-minded. The threat of hurricanes arriving unforeseen is real, of course, with the insane gutting of NOAA and FEMA, so, yeah, a fierce little wind and rain to send the mango Mussolini scuttling sodden off his viewing stand would be fun.
Do I need to say I am wishing no harm to real people?

(297,987 posts)On July 8, the United States capital Washington DC saw its seventh-wettest July day since 1871 after 8.4 cm of rain lashed the city in just one hour, causing flash floods.
This is a life-threatening situation. Seek higher ground now, news agency AP quoted the National Weather Service as announcing as torrential rains battered Washington DC. Virginias Arlington county also received a heavy amount of rainfall, disrupting normal life.
