    Just days after his party cut money for FEMA. That is the horn that needs tooted everywhere.

    The man who threw a hissy fit over the NWS mildly correcting him over the course a hurricane would travel during his presidency has the nerve to criticize Helene’s response.

        It somehow seems worse lately. Maybe Vance flat-out admitting to fabricating stories and recieving no backlash emboldened them even more. Go figure

    A bit surreal to be waiting for a storm and reading stuff like this…

      Stay safe? Uh… Here’s hoping a sharpie in the sky reroutes the hurricane straight up? (Avoiding astronauts and their safety)

        Actually, mother nature has her own sharpie.

        These storms wobble. Yesterday it wobbled but also veered south, changing it’s path just enough. The core will now target closer to Sarasota, which is a great town. Hope they protect the Dali museum. End result is I won’t get the core. Rain sure. Wind ~80mph. But no core. Time to make my hurricane gumbo. Electricity will be out tomorrow

          Honestly, maybe the Dali should let people in, probably safer than most places:

          “the museum was designed to withstand 165 mph wind loads from a Category 5, 200-year hurricane and includes 18 inch, cast-in place, reinforced concrete walls and a 12 inch thick roof. Storm doors shield the vault and galleries, which are all located on the third floor, protected against 30 foot hurricane storm surges. All of the glass is one-and-a-half inches thick, insulated and laminated, and was tested to resist the 135 mph winds, driven rain and missile impacts of a Category 3 hurricane.”

            Holy crap, didn’t know that. Guess I was looking at the paintings and not paying attention to the building.

              I don’t usually do guided tours at museums, but I really enjoyed the one at the Dali. I learned tons of neat facts about Dali, and also that the building was pretty hurricane proof!

                I never took a guided tour. But I did read Dalis biography, and owned one of his etchings
