They had better be smart enough to get the hell out of Florida....whole state had the potential to be covered with water and high wind damage!!!!!
Thank you Cliff Clavin. I'm in FLL and not leaving. MSM has turned this into a ratings bonanza. Every 5 minutes I get a call or text from someone up north watching the news. We are busy prepping and securing property in case it actually hits our specific area. The eastern shore is a pimple on the butt of FL. Big state and worst damage will be in a small area compared to the size of entire state.
Send us a letter about it if you survive.
Goodbye!
Why? Rush L. told us this was all a hoax to boost sales.
I'd like to see florida without any deaths from this storm.
Well they all did just get to view all the coverage of the disaster in Texas, just last week. THOSE images are fresh in their minds. Most of the Texans, that didn't evacuate, lived to regret not leaving. Most...
There are plenty of military bases in Florida. Why didnt thry mobilize the national guard and have military transport aircraft flown in to evacuate people? The traffic news is a demonstration of why Houston didn't evacuate. You can't put millions of people on the road at once without massive backups which create more panic.
