Karma is a bitch.

haha perhaps. We'll find out soon won't we.



I actually think that God just wants to scare me a bit and will turn the hurricane directly at Mar-a-Largo as soon as it gets past Hispaniola. So I agree that karma is a bitch, but people like you and Trump are the real target for this.

So, if Irma changes track and wipes out NOLA, what will you say? What about the people living in the DR, Haiti, and Puerto Rico? Did they vote for Trump? Glad to see that liberal hate is alive and well in the face of looming devastation. Maybe you should take a lesson from the people that rushed in to help out in Houston after Harvey. People of both sides of the political spectrum; regardless of ethnicity, gender selection, gender preference, and religion all teamed up and showed their quality. They didn't care about FLOTUS's shoes.

BTW, if Irma slams Miami, you do know that that's the blue part of FL, right?

Another hurricane already and it's a CAT5? Jesus must be punishing the Trump voters.

looks like it may blow out to sea.

Most of the models still show a hard right turn then either hitting south Florida head on and raking the state or running up the coast and hitting the Carolinas. It seems to be all about the timing of the turn now.

I accidentally posted in Off topic because there are apparently two identical threads here as usual for some reason with hurricanes.


I have a property on Pidgeon Key which is pretty much directly in the path of this hurricane. It's a 3 story house (two stories on top of a 12' elevated concrete slab) with metal shutters. According to the deplorable builders I payed to build it, it should survive up to 150mph winds. I have my doubts though.


My neighbors have left multiple messages asking to use it as a shelter because their crap trailer which somehow survived George is probably rated for 30mph winds. Too bad for them they had to put those "Vote Trump" signs out. I saw that, and they will pay for it. Hopefully the warm memories of all the liberal tears they drank holds them over for the duration of the storm.

I imagine this is bullshit but if it isn't there is something seriously wrong with you.

That would be USACE's worst nightmare after coastal restoration projects have just completed along the east coast of FL.

I've decided this hurricane is for the best. If I have to suffer financial loss in order for cosmic justice to be delivered unto Mar-a-Largo and greater florida, so be it.



Let the storms come.

Barbuda saw a storm surge of 8.5 feet. Hopefully it doesn't show up in FL with high tide.

Considering your predictions are seldom correct, I feel even more optimistic.

I'm just hedging my position.


I can't lose. If the storm runs over florida I'll have all the deplorable tears I can drink.

And if it doesn't, I get to keep my house.


What a great deal this hurricane is! The BEST deal!

Bonus if it misses florida entirely and hits even more deplorables. Then both my positions pay off, and I get my house and all the deplorable tears.

It's almost as if.... I've taken a deplorable position here.


But it is so emotionally comforting and nice to enclose yourself into a bubble and laugh at the misfortune of the people who caused these problems (DACA, Climate change, Trump).

I've taken a page out of the deplorable book and learned to have joy in my own misfortune by letting go of my material possessions in favor of deplorable tears. I am happy to lose money and to suffer as long as deplorables suffer with me.

It must be frustrating to see somebody you dislike so much taking a position you always make excuses for. Oh well, maybe you should get on these deplorable tears too? They are great. Try some.

I guess now that I'm deplorable too, you'll make excuses for me also. Please start now.

I don't particularly dislike you, I just think you're ignorant and immature. If you genuinely prefer a situation where you are personally harmed but get to enjoy the suffering of others I feel pity for you, not anger.

Good, good....


Pity is good.

It is wonderful that now that I'm deplorable, we can be friends. The rightful place of the liberal is to make excuses for and pity the deplorable. But... I don't see any excuses. Could you please talk about how my economic anxiety caused this problem, and that I'm actually an awesome person who deserves all the federal moneys?

Residing in the Space Coast area and have most things stocked up. Still need to nab some AA/AAA batteries though. The high pressure system to the east of Florida is dissipating due to a through. It is what was keeping Irma from turning northward. Current projections are showing an earlier and earlier turn to the north to the point where it may just graze the east side of Florida or hopefully keep far enough offshore so that east Florida may experience Cat 1/2 wind speeds or lower (similar to Matthew). This is all still varying since several days before potential Florida landfall.

Will take west side of a hurricane over the northeast side any day.

This is a terrible attempt at trolling. You have the same problem agent00f has, if you're going to sit here and try to rile people up you either have to be good at pissing people off or at least your attempts should be interesting/funny. Unfortunately, just like him you're boring.

So anyway if you think you can make me angry you're wasting your time. I won't be responding to this any more unless you get more interesting, which I definitely encourage you to do.

These are not excuses, they are insults. You just said you had pity for me, but now you insult me and call me boring. To top it off, you don't even talk about how economically anxious I am or how I deserve money.


I feel cheated.

Can I have your stuff?





All joking aside stay safe and get out if you're not in a good spot!

The biggest problem right now is that we are running out of gas. Apparently after Harvey gas has not been coming in like it should and with everyone stocking up almost all the stations around me are empty. I spent 2 hours last night looking, and an hour today at 9am to finally find gas.

I can tell you this, Ft Lauderdale to West Palm is NOT ready for a cat 4 to hit. I have been here for over 10 years now and the trees alone are a huge sign. There are a ton of fences that are falling apart. The last time this area was hit was back during Wilma. If this hurricane hits us at a 4 like it looks to, there is going to be a lot of bad around here.
