You'd think they'd have protested when the governor couldn't get the power back on for six months.

They are. It's called Twitter

Governor will resign today.

Journalists given credit for exposing corruption.

Listen, I'm sure they did great work, but if the people of Puerto Rico couldn't figure out how corrupt shit was...

Another storm bearing down.

I'm sure this will end well.

Lot of rain, but not super strong. One of the models has it coming to my state. But lots of time between then and now.

Puerto Rico avoided getting hit by the worst stuff, but America's wang looks to get drilled.

American Model says Jacksonville; European model says Miami. That's a big difference.

Also, now forecast to be a Cat 4, not 3

The hurricane is forecast to increase significantly in not only strength but also in size as it approaches the Southeastern US, becoming a Category 4 storm before it makes landfall in Florida.

Latest models look terrifying

Turning to the Carolinas now.

It's a cat 4/5, right over the Bahamas right? I've heard very little about them getting hit.

Most of the models seem to have it skirting the eastern seaboard from FL to NC then going off to sea.

I think it's a big enough storm that it doesn't need to make landfall to cause some serious damage all up the east coast from Miami to Virginia Beach.

Friends at the beach say it's been causing rip currents in NC already this weekend.

I welcome the challenge of a rip current.

With the storm surge, my friend who lives on the east coast of FL is about 1 foot from flooding in their neighborhood.

I'm approx 20 feet above Lake Erie (guess). I sometimes daydream about how cool it would be to be a quarter mile from the surf, instead of three miles.

That explains your environmental stance

Post by **GORDON** » Mon Sep 02, 2019 6:48 pm

What, do way more than the average person to reduce my own carbon footprint while simultaneously educating the.general public on ways they can do the same, but not deluding myself into thinking it will actually change anything?

That stance?

Today's aquarium show to teach the kids what they can do to help protect coral.reefs.was possibly my best one yet, btw.

Dorian leveled the Bahamas.

School's canceled tomorrow for a storm that's 400 miles away and will be causing some moderate rain + wind here.

They have to do that because if the slightest thing went wrong people would sue.
