It has already dissipated and is no longer a tropical storm.

[–] DBNinja@piefed.zip 43 points 1 week ago (1 children)

She knew the collateral damage it would cause!

Dolly died to stop Hurricane Dolly πŸ˜­πŸ™

Be on the lookout for Hurricane Jolene.

Does it? I'm not seeing it.

[–] lemmylump@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

It's now just a wave with needed rain that's going to shower the Caribbean.

Dolly is bringing the good rain, like the Saint she is.

[–] raman_klogius@ani.social 6 points 1 week ago

it's not her time yet. she'll come back someday.

[–] Sibshops@feddit.cl 55 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You don't need a hurricane to believe in his great noodlly appendage. 🍝

[–] f314@lemmy.world 37 points 1 week ago

Ramen to that!

[–] Modern_medicine_isnt@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Trump would probably try to nuke it if he thought his place was under threat.

[–] 0x0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 27 points 1 week ago

I think he would simply redirect the storm with a magic marker

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

Because he had to be talked out of that before right?

[–] e8CArkcAuLE@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago (3 children)

theoretically, could you nuke a hurricane and destroy it?

[–] multifariace@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Theoretically it could strengthen it and make it radioactive. Please don't. Florida actually has a lot of value when you can look past the hate and politics of too many residents.

[–] Bbbbbbbbbbb@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

We could do with a lot more "return to nature" in florida

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Nuclear alligators would also solve the horrible person problem.

[–] ZeroCool@piefed.ca 3 points 1 week ago

🎢 Interior nuclear alligator, I drive a Chevrolet movie theater 🎢

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Not even a little bit. The amount of energy in even our most powerful thermonuclear device is piddling compared to that contained within a hurricane. All you'd do is stir up a bunch of fallout and distribute it all over the place.

It doesn't have to match the power. It just has to F up the storms rotation enough that it disrupts itself. I don't know if it could be enough, but it certainly doesn't need to equal the power of the storm.

[–] kboy101222@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

Spreading nuclear fallout all over Florida? Don't tempt me

The shockwave might mess with the rotation. Or it would still be to little to make a difference. I'm no expert.

[–] mrmaplebar@fedia.io 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Guy would probably just get richer via insurance fraud

[–] MunkyNutts@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Drop in the bucket compared to his cryptocoin and stock trades

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Meanwhile, in the Pacific... Only 6 spinning wind thingies...

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Brought to you by windy.com... Windy.yeah!

[–] troybot@piefed.social 6 points 1 week ago

Hurricane? Trivago

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

And 13 leaves, apparently. Odd data point to track but somebody has to do it I guess.

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

She has become more powerful than in our wildest imaginations!

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

As an atheist that's way too much coincidence.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Nah. But, it would be a happy coincidence.

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah I don't think that tropical storm is actually Dolly Parton's spirit either. Good looking out.

[–] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You don’t already believe in our savior, Dolly?!

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I really miss her. Not like, in a direct way, it just felt good sharing planet with her. It's not that we hung out or anything, but just being on the same Earth as her was sharing something with her and be blessed by her presence.

There are a few others and... They're very old. And I'm afraid.

~~Perry sure hurricanes get a new name and don't keep the tropical storm name.~~

Turns out I'm wrong.

[–] lividweasel@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Perry is wrong

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

the storm, once named, keeps the name no matter its intensity

[–] HumanOnEarth@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

Glad you weren't 100% confident because you are definitely wrong
