two more model shifts to the west, and the pucker factor in Galveston, Tx will go sky high. I'll bet a nickel the shift continues. Takers?

He said pucker factor. That is the factor of "pucker" in your southernmost orifice when you get skeered. Often increases exponentially as a cane approaches.

It means there will be a run on toilet paper ( as well as other supplies).

Seriously, these shifts to the west are NOT trivial. We've gone from Florida, to Miss., to central LA in about three runs. Two more runs like this and it gets ugly for those Texans.
