There's another wave of storms coming through. Apparently the affected hotels are moving people into the ballrooms to make sure they're safe.
It looks like the glass and furniture were sucked out of the windows.

Ginger's got all the tornado she needs trotting around on four legs, I think. No need for the meteorological kind.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ha. Smacking around Brian McKnight a little isn't a bad idea.
At the end of the last season of Jericho they flew a modified American flag. As Americans, does that freak you out? If so, why?

Because books.
Yikes! Ginger, be careful. Ask Mr. Peabody if there's room under the desk.
How was it modified, ita?

Actually, at first glance I didn't notice the difference - seeing what I expected to see and all that. It probably does contribute to my feeling that the government that flies that flag are not the good guys, but other than that, no visceral reaction.

The stripes were vertical instead of horizontal, and there were fewer stars and in a circle.
I found it as creepy as fuck, but it's not my flag.

The stars in a circle maybe made it seem more normal to me, since there were official US flags that had that arrangement. And I didn't notice the vertical stripes until a character mentioned it. So maybe I am just not observant enough.

The idea of a wounded and misshapen US flailing about and slashing all and sundry--well, Jamaica's just a whole lot of collateral damage waiting to be experienced.
Scary.
I could imagine that as an American it might be wrong, but it's...it's like your problem. Something you could fix, you know? Me, I'll just be over here and crouching in the corner.

It was startling because it confirmed that the USA no longer exists in the world of that show. I didn't find it overly freaky though, just because the show has never had that strong of an impact on me. Too many details remind me of the fiction and not enough of the story keeps me sucked in for me to have a visceral reaction.
