Cool.

I saw the US had crews going.

I wonder if we have one of our relief carriers in route.

The journalism on Grand Bahama has gone to crickets.

Why?

Notice how liberals aren’t buying windmills and solar panels, but are buying generators and gasoline.

One, there’s nothing left on the island to report on, and with the airport destroyed and nowhere to land a boat, it’s not exactly easy to get there at the moment.

Two, US media is rightfully focused on the fact that that same hurricane is at this very moment still at Cat 3, is sitting right next to Charleston SC, and is ready to make landfall at any moment.

The United States Coast Guard is all over it.

U.S. Coast Guard sent this bulletin at 09/05/2019 10:23 AM EDT

MIAMI — Coast Guard Hurricane Dorian response operations are underway in support of the Bahamas. As of Thursday at 9 a.m.:

Coast Guard crews from across the Coast Guard have rescued 135 people and six pets in the Bahamas since Hurricane Dorian began.

The Coast Guard is conducting air operations based out of Andros Island, Bahamas. Seven MH-60 Jayhawk helicopters and three MH-65 Dolphin helicopters are conducting search and rescue missions, area assessments and providing logistical support.

The Coast Guard has three cutters posted near the Bahamas ready to engage in Hurricane Dorian response efforts.

Coast Guard Cutter James conducted an assessment of Freeport Harbour, Grand Bahama.

Saw on another thread a guy from Puerto Rico (Maria) said they don’t need water and food, they just need ICE and GENERATORS, they will take care of the rest.

And also notice the lack of aid from all the rest of the world’s Hate America crowd.

The entire communications infrastructure was destroyed. Press could not even reach the people they pre-positioned there before the storm. It’s total devastation.

Perhaps he’s evolving. Or red-pilled. Or liberty has civilized him.

$45,000 worth of generators and he goes to Costco rather than call a generator manufacturer? A manufacturer that would take a loss most likely. Rather then a box store that is profiting?

That makes zero sense.

Could have paid wholesale got twice as much and have them shipped direct.

I am going with fake news.
