They just can’t help themselves. They HAVE to interject politics and Trump in there somewhere.

Pathetic.

What that means is the writer is blatantly liberal and the blame for everything will be directed to President Trump....

I had the same thought. Childish. The writer is not to be taken seriously.

Plenty of water lying around in Puerto Rico.

Since they don't want it, we should swoop in and grab it.

Curiously there are no details on where these mob scenes were occurring. Considering this is a very dubious source that mostly pimps overpriced ‘survival supplies’ I suspect it is mostly or all prevarication.

We need to meet at a bar and do penance by downing a few.

It’s a Cat 3 now... It might drop to a strong Cat 2 by the time it actually hits the coast. But, it is big, and will affect a large area. Also, the expected storm surge is unlikely to abate much before landfall.

I predict widespread moderate damage, some serious spot flooding, and a whole lot of over-preparation. But, better safe than sorry.

clean the tub really well and fill it up with water. Take any spare container you have and fill it up with water. When water stops flowing from the tap, the water heater will still have 40ish gallons of water.

Seen it dozens of times in FL. Two days before landfall, shelves get empty. Happens every time so it shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone that’s been through a hurricane before yet still, it happens every time.

Maybe it was mine since I recently got my long languishing K5 to start and run again. No apology from me.

Life, wife, work, budgets, guerilla conditions, and other stuff kind of got in the way.

It came right to life after several months of partial disassembly.

There is cleanup and rearranging to do though.

Stores should raise water prices to $10 a case. Gas should be $7a gallon.

Reasonable increases like that force people to get what they need, not five times what they want thus allowing water and gas for everyone.

Plus, you can save water for free. Hot water tank has 40 gallons.

A Sawyer Mini water filter is $20 at Walmart. It’ll purify 100,000 gallons. A friend manages water safety systems for the Army. He’s a true expert and fully approves the Sawyer. We keep one in the car, another in our emergency kit and another with my backpack gear.

[One woman was quoted, “What am I going to do now with all the stuff I bought?”.]

I think I can see her conundrum. It’s not like she could eat it or or drink it or donate some portion of it. SMH

Yeah I would certainly get off the Outer Banks but other than that I don’t see it being that dangerous.

Seriously is this going to be the BIGGEST overreaction EVER. I get it, the commie media needs something new to blame on President Trump..but its a hurricane, happens every year and this time will be no different..hopefully those who need to evacuate will do it and everything will be fine..but honestly, fighting for good, come on ridiculous already!

OK, now you have forced me to confess. I actually use plastic straws from time to time, and have set the AC down a degree or 2 a few times this summer.

Ahhh ... so YOU'RE the one responsible for Florence!

Never let a Storm go to waste when you can use it to cause Chaos and plug Global warming
