No worries....  But Covid porn is on the rise.

Tropical Storm Fred made landfall in the Dominican Republic on Wednesday, bringing heavy rainfall that could lead to dangerous flooding and the potential for mudslides, the National Hurricane Center said. The storm is expected to reach Florida by the end of the week.

The tropical storm was located about 75 miles west-northwest of Santo Domingo, with 40 mph winds, the hurricane center said Wednesday afternoon. The storm will bring rainfall to Florida and other parts of the southeast by Friday and will last into next week.

Fred is the sixth named storm of the 2021 Atlantic hurricane season. A tropical storm watch is in effect for Haiti, Turks and Caicos Islands, the Southeastern Bahamas, and the Cuban provinces of Ciego de Avila, Camaguey, Las Tunas, Holguin, Granma, Santiago de Cuba and Guantanamo.

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

It's projected to strengthen and affect us by Fri and will probably only be a rainmaker.
