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

[–] DBNinja@piefed.zip 45 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

She knew the collateral damage it would cause!

Dolly died to stop Hurricane Dolly πŸ˜­πŸ™

[–] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 30 points 3 weeks ago

Be on the lookout for Hurricane Jolene.

Does it? I'm not seeing it.

[–] lemmylump@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago

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

[–] Sibshops@feddit.cl 55 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] f314@lemmy.world 38 points 3 weeks ago

Ramen to that!

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

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

[–] 0x0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 27 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 weeks ago

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

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

theoretically, could you nuke a hurricane and destroy it?

[–] multifariace@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Nuclear alligators would also solve the horrible person problem.

[–] ZeroCool@piefed.ca 3 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks 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.

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

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

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.

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 18 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Guy would probably just get richer via insurance fraud

[–] MunkyNutts@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Drop in the bucket compared to his cryptocoin and stock trades

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 10 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

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

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] troybot@piefed.social 6 points 3 weeks ago

Hurricane? Trivago

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

As an atheist that's way too much coincidence.

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

She has become more powerful than in our wildest imaginations!

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Nah. But, it would be a happy coincidence.

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

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

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

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

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago

Perry is wrong

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] HumanOnEarth@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 weeks ago

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