[QUOTE="pickup, post: 872332"] It would probably dissipate upon reaching Cuba. DISSIPATE, v.t. [L., to throw.] 1. To scatter; to disperse; to drive asunder. Wind dissipates fog; the [COLOR=#FFFFFF !important][FONT=Arial]heat of the sun[/FONT][/COLOR] dissipates vapor; mirth dissipates [COLOR=#FFFFFF !important][FONT=Arial]care and[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#FFFFFF !important][FONT=Arial]anxiety[/FONT][/COLOR]; the cares of life tend to dissipate serious reflections. Scatter, disperse and dissipate are in many cases synonymous; but dissipate is used appropriately to denote the dispersion of things that vanish, or are not afterwards collected; as, to dissipate fog, vapor or clouds. We say, an army is scattered or dispersed, but not dissipated. Trees are scattered or dispersed over a field, but not dissipated. 2. To expend; to squander; to scatter property in wasteful extravagance; to [COLOR=#FFFFFF !important][FONT=Arial]waste[/FONT][/COLOR]; to consume; as, a man has dissipated his fortune in the pursuit of pleasure.
