Even after all this "normalization" of this a-hole (I put myself purposely in that mode to TRY to understand), I still find it hard to believe that he can get away with this shit.

It's ridiculous, outrageous, brazen. How is this possible?

within San Juan Harbor.

Took on 10,000 gallons of diesel fuel, fired up the generator for AC, the refrigerator and freezer. Tripled up all lines to the pier. Loaded up with groceries and frozen food and probably a dozen cases of water. They have a big flat screen Directv satellite to get cable and local news. They get CNN and network news (no Fox news) so they are seeing how Dump is slow to help.

They rode out the storm not knowing how bad it would end up, but know how lucky they are to have food, water, electricity and be sleeping in below decks berthing bunks with AC that sometimes makes me put on a sweater it gets so cold.
