I Churn Inland...

...at least, according to The Weather Channel right now:

The winds around Bill--not particularly fierce to begin with--will diminish as Bill spins through southeast Louisiana this afternoon and early evening and into Mississippi tonight, but heavy rain and the threat of serious flooding will continue.

I should feel dizzy, but I'm more indignant -- not particularly fierce to begin with? My winds are plenty fierce, thank you! And don't be so quick to downgrade me to a mere tropical depression (such a humiliating term -- why not just say "wet blanket?") -- I could still swirl north and bring heavy rains and some scattered flooding throughout the Deep South and parts of Tennessee! Behold, I have not yet unleashed my warm-water-borne fury! Puny humans, I shall...

...oh, all right. Who am I kidding? I'll probably collapse into a weak low front overnight.
