Left-wing conspiracy...

Left-wing conspiracy...

Well, if it is not a fake-news hoax, then it must be a liberal conspiracy, generated by deep-state bureaucrats at NOAA and directed by the illuminati. It's headed right for the Republicans! What more proof do you need?

I don't think it's any coincidence that 2 of the biggest Red States, Texas and Florida, are gonna take it in the shorts with these 2 media-generated wind storms. Seriously, how could one choke down a coincidence that large?

Thanks, Obama.

Anyone bored and online right this second can follow Delta Airlines 431, a flight from JFK stupidly attempting to land in San Juan as the hurricane winds pick up from about 20 to 60 mph.

Wow, major kudos to the forecasting, traffic control, and flight crew teams at Delta for pulling this off. Not only did the flight land safely, it took off with a full load of evacuating passengers and successfully escaped during a brief gap in the storm. Unloaded and loaded passengers in San Juan in just 30 minutes flat.





One of the more impressive feats in recent commercial airliner history.

     If this hits Mar-a-Lago dead on I'll sacrifice a captive to Quetzalcoatl, the god of hurricanes and mole sauce.

Well we all enjoy seeing our biases confirmed. Which is why I will always treasure this bit of revealing bile.

dagnabitt - now it appears like it might curve back my way!

I hope the storm shifts out to sea. I guess not everyone here does.

Aww, now you know that if the storm hits Mar-a-Lago Trump will devise some scheme where the Army Corp of Engineers rebuilds it for him, and he leases the land to them and charges rent during the construction, then sues them because the gold leaf isn't thick enough. Better that it steers clear.

[Scion7]

of course everyone does - but - the reality is, that possibility is virtually nil

And because it is virtually nil, most of us, Ken, are hoping for the most positive outcome: if it has to hit Florida, make it a strike on Mar-a-Lago. That will teach Trump something about the God he publicly says he believes in (cynically so, in order to appease his evangelical supporters).

Yeah, my bad too: I forgot we weren't dealing with a mere mortal...
