I will be so happy when this hurricane passes, if I hear "Hunkering Down"

[doc03]

a thousand times another day I will shoot the TV. I am on a road trip staying in Vicksburg MS tonight, the hotel has a bunch of refugees
from Florida and there are some from Houston that are still flooded out.

1. Agree. Other overused media stuff new since 911.

Choppers and boots on the ground.

2. Jose cometh. Shouldn't we prepare to hunker down..............

one more time?

[Grammy23]

4. Shhhh....no talking about Jose until Irma has skedaddled outta Florida.

My husband saw one graphic that showed Jose making a loop and heading back for Florida. Not much detail but the graphic alone was enough to make your heart skip a beat. Enough is enough!! The next person that denies climate change might get a knuckle sandwich!

5. Rumor has it that Jose is headed toward Washington, D.C. as a Cat.5.

But I'm sure that's just rumor.

7. I think these hurricanes are God's punishment for electing a

racist nutcase president. You know if he was a Democrat Pat Roberson would be blaming it on him.

3. Funny you should mention "Hunkering Down".

I almost started an OP a dozen times in the past 24 hours about the same thing.

There must be some other terminology that could take its place but I can't think of what it would be.

What did we say before it became the go to expression?

[doc03]

6. The damn media can only deal with one story at a time. I bet tRump is

happy, the Russia-gate story has barely been mentioned for days. I was surprised when the hotel desk clerk said there were still
people here from Houston, with so much talk about Irma I had forgotten about Harvey.

11. I heard Matt Lauer talk about "hunkering down" in a high-rise!!!

[Warpy]

8. Well, keep your eye on Jose, he's not finished yet

and there's another one starting to develop south of the Cape Verde Islands that's got some potential.

Fat lady aint sung quite yet.

10. I went to Baskin Robbins and asked for a "CONE OF UNCERTAINTY"

[cyclonefence]

12. How about "bunkering down"?

Yes, I heard that several times yesterday.

[Hortensis]

13. At least you're in the area, Doc03. How about those 1000 miles away? Lol.

I'm in the area also, not California or North Dakota, and I'm really, really tired of pictures of fallen trees.

MSNBC just left off the trees to briefly report a storm-related "controversy" just now, which suggests a lot of people are. But then, more pictures of trees.
