Trump's Mar-a-Lago is in the projected path of Hurricane Dorian
https://www.tampabay.com/hurricane/2019/08/29/trumps-mar-a-lago-is-in-the-projected-path-of-hurricane-dorian/?fbclid=IwAR3aYKrjUXGDGIYximZPn-XczlsGpYefsveZrW-6Qk5fjJ_sZnA_-CQe5MwHurricane Dorian is threatening to strike Florida near Mar-a-Lago, President Donald Trumps prized South Florida resort.
The storm is projected to make landfall as a Category 4 hurricane on Monday, with Melbourne as the most likely landing spot. Thats about 115 miles north of Palm Beach, where Trumps ocean-front hotel is situated. Mar-a-Lago remains in the cone of uncertainty" the range of potential paths the hurricane could take as it strengthens in the Caribbean.
The U.S. Secret Service declined to respond to questions about any security measures taken at Mar-a-Lago during an extreme weather event and directed questions to the resort. The Trump Organization and the White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
It will be a very big Hurricane, perhaps one of the biggest! Trump wrote.

We've seen these anomalies in Florida since 2000. Unless we can get election integrity, the Russian/Repubs will continue to "win".
Mystery of missing votes deepens as Congress investigates Georgia

On machine No. 3, Republicans won every race. On each of the other six machines in that precinct, Democrats won every race.
Even though it was the second race on the ballot, fewer votes were counted for lieutenant governor than for labor commissioner, insurance commissioner and every other statewide contest lower on the ballot. Roughly 80,000 fewer votes were counted for lieutenant governor than in other down-ballot elections.
