we have Brownback and Kobach, so even without the hurricanes we have our disasters.

Think I'll stick here in Florida. I would give you Scott, but not in a trade for Brownstain!

There was at least one benefit of being the poorest state after the end of the Civil War. Having said that, I live in north Georgia and have lots of relatives in the "2PM Mon" circle. I pray that the monster will deflect eastward and dissipate in the Atlantic harmlessly.

Sadly Irma isn't likely to self destruct for now

(51,627 posts)The hurricane that hit Galveston in 1900 went straight north then rounded eastward going up through Canada and actually did a lot of damage the entire way. Some people in NY even died, and it hit land originally as a Cat 5 in TX. Weather is very strange and unpredictable...sort of like the bastard in the White House.

Never, ever underestimate a hurricane.
