Beats me where it's from but the point still stands

If only more dug dealers had become meteorologists. Little did they know it was that easy.


I bet this is Trump fault too. Was the government expected to come out of pocket for us?

Yes, drug dealers should have. These hurricane experts are as predictable and accurate as a palm reader.

If they truly gave AF about our well-being they should. For a region, that's poor and susceptible to catastrophic storms yearly, why not make accordion shutters mandatory on all homes and subsidized? Why not give away essentials before havoc is reeked instead of feeling generous afterwards?

I don't have high expectations of government but I have logical reasoning. It all boils down to money and lobbying.

My friends daughter went to Tampa with her grandma to get away from the Hurricane as well as a bunch of my boys fam and friends. I think they are all scrambling now to figure out the next move unfortunately. Hopefully they have shutters or a preparation plan.

Miami folks

How far inland is the water surge supposed to hit.. Is places like miami springs and hialeah to opa locka ok??

No but Hialeah floods from poor civil engineering. Like Houston, it's overdeveloped and water is trapped.

I'm supposed to be in Atlanta on Tuesday for a conference. I'm assuming that that's not happening now

Why would they make accordion shutters mandatory on all homes and if they were, should the government pay for it? How are they going to do that? South Florida isn't the only region prone to hurricanes. Just ask those in New Orleans and Houston. So should the government give accordion shutters to every house from Texas all the way around to Virginia?

You say the region is poor but this is something that's necessary for our survival. I would understand if they were buying dumb shyt, but hurricane shutters aren't a waste. People should be responsible for their shutters, not the government.

Of course we got clowns trying to surf and get attention by being on the beach. It's like clockwork with these individuals.

Like I said, it boils down to money. They spend taxes on shyt that has nothing to with Americans. However, shutters is where the lines are drawn. Know why?

Because it's too much money to be made off us.

Why is it still so gah damn hot outside

People on the Weather Channel are now saying that the storm will probably continue to move West and the core of the storm will remain offshore, west of Tampa.

The last major hurricane to hit Sofla(Andrew) it was definitely the wind that did the most damage and killed the most people. The people most at risk of flooding in SoFla are those who live literally along the coast or those who live along lake Okeechobee. If you live west of I-95(for the eastcoast FL folks) or east of 75(for the westcoast FL folks), you are in the safest areas.

Wind killed 13/44 people in Florida according to the coronors...

Andrew was also much more compact than Irma. Irma is easily twice the size of Andrew. It will bring much more water.

Do not try to use past experiences to guess what will happen this time.
And do not drive into flood water.
