2022 Atlantic Hurricane Season: Non-Minnesotans arguing about the weather

So it looks like Ian will get a second bite at SC, then run due north inland into central NC and peter out. Only FL and SC will get fucked. Nice aim by god. Call home as many evangelicals as possible, please.
 
When I went to survey the yard this morning, there were more trees down than I thought - 8 small (6” diameter, 25’ tall) palm trees. Unfortunately, 6 of them were just leaning on our fence hanging over our neighbor’s patio, so they were a pain to get out of there. They seem to be made of sawdust and water - super easy to cut, but so heavy I couldn’t lift more than about a 6 foot section. Lots of twigs, leaves, and branches down around us, but no damage at all - just a little call out of those of us who don’t do enough preemptive gardening.

To me, it's not so much the living in a dangerous location, but the total lack of doing anything to address it. Heck, seeing all of the anti solar and wind signs we saw in our travel to Boston and back- there is active work against addressing it. And where it's bad for Louisiana, they are keeping the poorest in the worst areas in the bad position.

Had DeSantis and other southern leaders actually supported moving away from a HC based power system, maybe some would be more understanding. How much is Florida (the state) going to lose because they intentionally turn their back on global warming, and then end up with a huge hurricane? Sure looks like the conservative position would be to deal with climate change to prevent further losses.

Or how about DeSantis voting against federal aid when Sandy hit NJ because it would be fiscally irresponsible? (Do you think he will reject any federal assistance now?


Ron DeSantis said:
I sympathize with the victims of Hurricane Sandy and believe that those who purchased flood insurance should have their claims paid. At the same time, allowing the program to increase its debt by another $9.7 billion with no plan to offset the spending with cuts elsewhere is not fiscally responsible.

He should be reminded of that vote when he asks for assistance. As I'm sure he will ask and take it. And then blame Biden for the slow recovery.

The tropical storm that came very near us last Sunday night didn't have immediate impact, but last night a transformer behind my house caught on fire and now I am without wired data and electricity. Using my phone as a hot spot but that doesn't help the house. Should be temporary and compared to what so many more people are probably going through we are blessed.

That is why Biden should cuck him at PCs all over Florida. It won't change much but don't let Ronny get much credit steal the spotlight.
 
Ummm...wow.

Florida Republican Senators Marco Rubio and Rick Scott urged Senate leaders for money to rebuild state after Hurricane Ian.

Then when the vote came, ⁦@SenRickScott⁩ voted against the funds and ⁦@marcorubio⁩ didn’t show up for the vote.

Not only that but from the article:

The Democratic-led House followed up Friday with its approval, 230-201. The measure next goes to President Joe Biden’s desk to be signed into law. Republicans overwhelmingly opposed the measure.

Florida Democratic Party Chair Manny Diaz blasted Florida Republican House members — all of whom voted against the stopgap spending measure to help storm victims — for not supporting Floridians.

“The same week that Hurricane Ian brought so much chaos and destruction to Florida, not a single Florida Republican cared enough to vote in favor of Hurricane relief for the people in their own state hit hardest by the storm," he said. "That is a level of callous indifference and political opportunism that boggles the mind."

But you can bet they will take credit...
 
Hey look, Florida republicans also think it's a bad idea to send money to Florida.

First compelling argument I've seen to actually send money there.

I know that. I meant the fact that this one is shown following that land as it heads about west-northwest.
