    GFDL is apparently taking this hurricane off, since NOLA is not in play.

    It was hilarious to watch the coverage of Gordon, a fast-moving tropical storm/Category 1 hurricane, last week. The national news was treating it like they do any hurricane that threatens the Gulf Coast, like Katrina 2.
    Local news treated it for what it was: A rainy day.

    Pretty much what I meant.

    Something is screwy here. I wrote a reply that basically said that, and added that I wasn't ill wishing regular people. I'm still PO'd with him over Puerto Rico.

    Post is not in the thread, and normally if I write something and don't post it, it stays in the reply field. That one didn't.

    So yeah, I hope it rams the White House and Trump has to live without power for two weeks... which I know can't happen, but that was the spirit in which it went up.

    No, I don't want you guys to die in a hurricane, and yes, I'll still post tweets, but that came off harsher than I meant it to.

    I've ridden out probably twelve hurricanes, including three direct hits. They don't scare me much as long as I can prep for it... but if I got the warnings that went out for Katrina or Harvey, I'd have grabbed my bugout bag and moved on up the line.

    Enough with the politics on this thread. We have a politics thread and one reason we didn't want to have one is because it shows up everywhere else. We're done here and if this shit continues, we're done there, too

    That isn't just about the post above this one, by the way. I've seen it all damn day.
