Get ready for the bevy of Frozen and Elsa memes. Tropical Storm Elsa has formed east of the Lesser Antilles in the Atlantic. It is also churning up quickly and is predicted to move through the Caribbean over the weekend. I’m secretly excited about that because Frozen is one of my favorite Disney movies.
