seeing this. It was an episode called "Hurricane Hannah".

I mean, this hurricane went up to a Category 4 and is almost a Cat 5 after Obama went on air, declared a national emergency, and activated FEMA.

FEMA..... Hmmm.... Federal Environment Management Agency!

Oh noes!1!1!!11111!!!!!!


Seriously, it is well known that hurricanes are attracted to hot air.

So.... no wonder it's headed toward Trump's estate.

Heat Street is a news, opinion, and commentary website. Launched in February 2016, the website is headed by British writer and former politician Louise Mensch.[3][4] It is owned by News Corp under Dow Jones & Company.

The website was announced in February 2016. It launched officially on April 20, 2016.[3] The website was to be headed by British journalist Louise Mensch and network producer Noah Kotch, who helped launch Vocativ.[5] The editors are quoted as saying, "We plan to break news, move the media and mock the mainstream. It takes friction to generate heat. We will rub against the grain of convention. That's our mission."[6]

The website features sections on politics, technology, culture, business, entertainment, and life.[7]

The website has been described as centre-right and libertarian. A spokesperson said that the site will, "in a spirit of free speech and no ‘safe spaces,’ cover a variety of topics from a diversity of viewpoints."[8]

The Washington Times's Jennifer Harper described the site as, "The politics here are right-leaning and libertarian-minded; the publication also covers culture wars, commentary, technology, celebrity, business and assorted lifestyle matters."[6]

Mar-A-Lago is built of steel and concrete, which makes it just about indestructible. It also has three inch thick walls. It has been hit by hurricanes before and only sustained limited damage.
