It becomes my business when she boasts about to a reporter....
.....SHE made it an issue
They usually do. Once tropical storm/hurricane conditions ensue first responders sit at the station till they’ve subsided. For their own safety.
According to most of the models, those conditions may persist for two DAYS. During which time the region may receive 50” of rainfall and a storm surge that persists through 2 or 3 high tides with nowhere for the 50” of rainfall to go.
What will happen is this: next week this woman will be shrieking on TV about the deplorable conditions and demanding to know why Trump hasn’t saved them yet! Because mukids.
So when this woman and her kids are fine and all the bastards inland are drowning, MSNBC will come back to interview her?
Of course it didnt....
When this is over with those kids won’t willingly live any nearer to the ocean than IOWA.
Sure hope her CHILDREN make it through the storm OK . . .
Is she also one of the people who says Trump is ‘complicit’ in the hurricane?
I hear ya. When the wind get’s between the houses at that speed and starts to moan and groan......creepy dude.
My tone?
The MS Gulf coast isn’t below sea level either.
The surge was 28’ OVER sea level.
Sure looks like it to me. Jeez
The Gulf and the Atlantic are different beasts. I’m not here to say this storm won’t be bad.
I am here to say this woman and her children can stay. I can’t say they would be any safer 100mi inland.
Not my call or anybody else’s on this board.
I was honeymooning on St. Thomas in 1989 when Hugo came through. 140+ sustained winds for over 8 hours. I don’t ever want to experience another hurricane.
I currently live in Reno, grew up and have lived in Florida, Virginia, California, Alaska, and much more. We’ve also been prepared—food, emergency equipment, etc. Always prepared, not running in fear, waiting for the government to tell us what to do, not scared by the overhyped media that has people fearing their own shadow, etc. Everyone needs to be responsible for themselves first, think. If you have reason to fear, act. Don’t depend on the government or media. We’re not sheep, we are citizens.
I am reminded of a hurricane in the 1960s Mississippi-Alabama, when people refused to leave but decided to have a hurricane party in their apartment. A few hours later, all left of the apartment was the foundation.
Read the part about Katrina made landfall on the
Mississippi coast .
New Orleans flooding was caused by the City Pump stations were abandoned and the storm surge from the Miss landfall push the water into Lake Pontchartrain .

Nice map where it made landfall too .
Katrina is history .
Learn from it .
140.....I wouldn’t wish that on anybody. Glad your still around to tell the tale my friend. Usually people that want to discount the raw power have never experinced it and have no idea.
You are meeting the media hype wing of FR. Good Luck. :^)
Yep, the ‘there’s a snowflake, declare national disaster’ crowd.
