You have no people living in the un-populated areas all the way up
to the areas that are populated and people live there.
Concrete does not absorb water.
You can get hurt or killed if a tree falls on you even without winds.

Fake Russian Facebook Accounts Bought $100,000 in Political Ads
Providing new evidence of Russian interference in the 2016 election, Facebook disclosed on Wednesday that it had identified more than $100,000 worth of divisive ads on hot-button issues purchased by a shadowy Russian company linked to the Kremlin.
Most of the 3,000 ads did not refer to particular candidates but instead focused on divisive social issues such as race, gay rights, gun control and immigration, according to a post on Facebook by Alex Stamos, the company’s chief security officer. The ads, which ran between June 2015 and May 2017, were linked to some 470 fake accounts and pages the company said it had shut down.
Facebook officials said the fake accounts were created by a Russian company called the Internet Research Agency, which is known for using “troll” accounts to post on social media and comment on news websites.
The disclosure adds to the evidence of the broad scope of the Russian influence campaign, which American intelligence agencies concluded was designed to damage Hillary Clinton and boost Donald J. Trump during the election. Multiple investigations of the Russian meddling, and the possibility that the Trump campaign somehow colluded with Russia, have cast a shadow over the first eight months of Mr. Trump’s presidency.

Trump had illegal Polish workers working on his Trump Tower and he didn't pay too.
“Donald told me he had difficulties.… " Sullivan testified, according to Time. "That he had some illegal Polish employees on the job."

Attorney Lewis Steel wrote to Manhattan Federal Judge Loretta Preska last week, stating former lawyer Wendy Sloan had uncovered the documents that could shed further light on a 1983 lawsuit filed by a Polish union worker that alleged then-real estate developer Trump had mistreated and even threatened to have Polish workers deported while they demolished the building that stood before his titular tower on New York’s Fifth Avenue, Trump Tower.
“She has the missing transcript and brief,” Steel wrote. “Ms. Sloan informs me that at all times these documents have remained in her possession and that she kept them confidential.”

Due to the workers’ complaints about their untimely or lack of pay, Trump asked Daniel Sullivan, a labor consultant for help.
Jefferson Beauregard Sessions
Jefferson Davis .... President of the CSA.
General P.T. Beauregard ... he wanted to destroy the United States of America by violence
Jefferson Beauregard Sessions once a year dresses up as a Confederate General to celebrate people who wanted to
keep the right of owning human beings as slaves and were willing to be traitors to the United States to that end.
OK who is helping N. Korea?
My guess is that it is the Russians. In both the size of the their bombs
and the complexity of their missiles they are getting "better" PDQ. BTW
I don't think it was a H-Bomb.

Hurricane Harvey and its catastrophic aftermath likely destroyed more vehicles than any other natural disaster in U.S. history, according to several early estimates.
The storm may have ruined up to one million vehicles along the Texas Gulf Coast, according to automotive data firm Black Book. In the Houston area, about one in seven cars may have been destroyed, according to analysts from Evercore ISI, an investment banking advisory and research firm.

Harvey: Thousands await rescue as estimated 30,000 to 40,000 homes destroyed in Houston area
Thousands of people likely remain stranded, and an estimated 30,000 to 40,000 homes have been destroyed in the Houston area as Hurricane Harvey, now a tropical depression, continues to batter the Gulf Coast with torrential rains, flooding and strong winds, Harris County Judge Ed Emmett said.
Harvey made its third landfall, just west of Cameron, Louisiana, Wednesday at 4 a.m. CDT, with maximum sustained winds of 35 mph, according to the National Weather Service. As of 11 p.m. EDT, the slow-moving storm had picked up some speed, moving northeast at 9 mph, with its center was about 30 miles northeast of Alexandria, Louisiana.
The storm was starting to fall apart overnight, with rain scattered in nature and falling over Mississippi and Arkansas. Residents in western Tennessee, around Memphis, should expect heavy rains on Thursday morning and possible flash flooding as up to 8 inches of rain are possible locally.
Before that, it battered the Beaumont-Port Arthur area in southeastern Texas, dumping more than 2 feet of rain in some parts. By Wednesday evening, the storm had weakened from a tropical storm to a tropical depression.

But what does Trump say?
"We are going to get you back and operating immediately," Trump told an impromptu crowd
that gathered outside a Corpus Christi fire station about 30 miles from where the storm made
landfall Friday.
