You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

People stuck in automobiles trying to get out of Dodge will be in a shitload of trouble.

I remember Andrew.   The high-water marks on buildings in Maryland and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania are seared in my brained.  IRMA is no Andrew.

It's a Hollywood disaster movie.  Only real.

In 1971 My sister and I were in an untied down trailer in Sulphur La. as Hurricane Edith was bearing down on us. The winds were already hitting us pretty hard and we got a call telling us to come ride it out with them. We left  and I couldn't see due to the wind driven rain. I was driving on the freeway about 10 mph seeing all sorts of debris flying in the wind. Then Edith made a hard right turn and the wind died down to almost nothing. That was the only hurricane I have ever left for. But I have never been in a surge zone.

Even as far west as NOLA, should not let their guard down.

Appears to be swinging West of there.  Mar-a-Lago and Rush Limbaugh's digs are safe.  Unlike Richard Branson's.  Better ask those lefties how their Karma's doing?

I read that like Branson, Trump's home in St Martin had lots of damage. 

These pics show the destruction in the Virgin Islands.  It's really bad there.  The one structure that looks like it came through with flying colors -- Jeffrey Epstein's pedophile island in pic 58.  That was the only thing I was hoping would get destroyed.  https://www.facebook.com/pg/caribbeanbuzzhelicopters/photos/?tab=album&album_id=1542572469135894

and there was no social media or real time radar to protect anyone.

It was like someone's 5 day forecast, today.

You know what shocked me about Branson's place was, I saw a picture he put on some social media place with them all down in his cellar, beds piled up everywhere for them all, and they had tape over the windows.  I would have thought a billionaire would have impact proof glass.

My son in West Palm Beach should be okay. My brother bugged out from Siesta Key last night. He buttoned down the house he sold and hasn't closed yet and the new house that is almost finished being redone. I hope he's safe, but I wonder what will happen to him financially.

My mom is in Tequesta, on the east coast north of West Palm Beach, and the local news is telling them they'll be getting winds of 90 mph.  That seems a little over the top to me.  I'm thinking winds there will be half that.

That is good news.  There is a hell of a lot of difference in a 3 and a 5.  I have ridden out a 3, and believe me it is no picnic, but the level of destruction is exponentially worse with a Cat 5.

I think you're right.  Another overblown storm methinks.

That's because it is over Cuba's coast...winds are suppose to increase again once it is over warm water heading toward Fla...

I guess we have Cuba to thank for the Cat 3. I just hope it doesn't regain strength.

I don't think it's overblown for the people that are actually going to get it.  That beast is going to pick back up once it's clear of Cuba.  But, the news blowing it out of proportion for places mostly out of the way now doesn't help.  I think it makes people complacent for the next one to come through. 

Apparently Palm Beach County has a 3pm curfew today.  Again, a little much.

I remember Agnes.  One heck of a lot of rain, and a few feet of storm surge in the tidewater.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Still cat 3, or has it upgraded again?
