Lawd! A tropical storm watch has been issued for

[Are_grits_groceries]

2 South Carolina coastal counties.
Horry and Georgetown.
The weather has lost its mind.

1. Wake up call. Way past time to take global warming seriously. nt

[Moostache]

2. Its already too late for coastal areas...

We had best be planning for soil erosion and the loss of arable land because those are the next two dominos to fall...

[Binkie The Clown]

5. We'll know it completely hopeless when...

...the time it takes to repair the damage from one storm is longer than the time until the next storm. From that point on the damage just keeps accumulating and we will never again get back to normal. Once things break faster than we can fix them, the coastal cities will start falling apart in earnest.

3. Batten down and stay safe

[democratisphere]

4. More fake news.

Damn lying meteorologists and weather stations.

[Chellee]

6. Scientists.

They think they know so much just because they have evidence and facts.

[democratisphere]

7. Damn, I forgot to blame them too! Thanks for the help.

Wouldn't want to let facts and evidence get in the way of sound policy decisions on climate change.

[Chellee]

8. Excuse me,

climate change is a myth. I heard it on Facebook, and everyone knows that Facebook is never
wrong.

Edited to add "never." My lying subconscious obviously got in the way.

[malaise]

15. It hit me late last night

The scientists have been right about the eclipse and Harvey. You can't accept that and then say there are wrong about climate change. Only greedy fools and their tools can ignore the facts.

[VOX]

13. "We need to wait until all the facts are in."

Wasn't that Shrub's line, some 15-16 years ago?

THE FUCKING FACTS ARE IN!

[neverforget]

12. The Chinese have pulled off the biggest hoax ever with Harvey.

Plus it's fake news. Rains like this all the time or so I'm told by science deniers.

[TheBlackAdder]

9. I bet Alex Jones is really hawking the shit out of his "Survival Gear!" Anything to make a buck.

10. Well, that explains the wind here today.

And, I'm at least 100 miles inland.

[Are_grits_groceries]

11. That wind is McMaster yapping. nt

[GoCubsGo]

16. LOL!

What a piece of work that one is. I think he has eclipsed his predecessor in awfulness.

[Behind the Aegis]

14. Stay safe, Gamecocks!

You too!

[bluepen]

18. We will read the warnings to them.

[Are_grits_groceries]

20. FTW! nt

[Behind the Aegis]

22. I am sure it helped that we spelled the big words out for you, phonetically.

Great response, though!

Seriously, though, if you are in the area like GAG, stay safe!!

[bluepen]

17. Well, it's peak tropical storm & hurricane season here.

But this storm is struggling to even stay together. That could change, but it won't be a major ordeal.

19. If Harvey's winds had not created shearing,

we would have had a hurricane.

21. Not really, it's late August.

Happens every year and we've actually been pretty lucky when it comes to majors the past decade.

This thing will dump a lot of rain on the coast. That's about it.
