Dude, the guy who has wilfully decided that basic findings of climate science are just “liberal assertions” has really got no business accusing other posters of saying “stupid shit”.
Good luck this weekend anyway; even pigheaded science deniers don’t deserve to get hit by hurricanes.
You’re not really here for the huntin’ are you?
Well, now you know how other members of this board feel when they see another one of your posts.
Nevertheless, hope you can ride out the storm without damage, especially so since it seems unlikely that your beloved Trump administration seems unlikely to be of much assistance.
This bears repeating:
Any reasonable precautions you can take may save you a lot of trouble later. Speaking of which:
I’m not a hurricane expert, but if it’s a real concern can you cover them in some way for the duration?
Don’t forget your galoshes!
And stay safe. Whatever happens to your business is going to happen.
Do what you can (early) but don’t go down with the ship. We’ve recently had some serious flooding in Kansas City and a few business owners put their lives at risk trying to salvage their business equipment. Not worth it.
Fill a bathtub and leave it full. You never know what you may need the water for later (and flushing a toilet with bottled water is a pain, to say the least).
I wouldn’t worry about it. The Hurricane Prediction Center is run by the same people who are trying to tell us that human activity is warming up the planet.
Follow the example of the Cajuns, have a nice party (Seriously, a good buzz will make riding out a hurricane easier). Hurricanes are just a fact of life on the Gulf. At least, there’s more warning for them than for tornadoes.
Serious question: Has Trump named a FEMA director yet? Because I was under the impression that seven months in the position was still one of many unfilled.
Wow. Trump named someone with experience in that field. Good to know.
Fuck that.
Clothy, I hope you spend the next week treading water.
On edit, that was dickish thing for me to say. I do hope you are safe.
But some soggy shoes would be fitting.
Unplug all electronic items. Don’t want them killed by a power surge or ambient static electricity.
Plywood. If that’s not feasible, some strong duct tape crisscrossed outside each window is better than nothing.
What’d you do the last time you had damage you couldn’t afford and insurance didn’t pay for, Mr. Bootstraps? Ask for handouts, I believe?
FTR, I don’t giggle about your threads, I marvel at your extensive duplicity and moral ambiguity, disgusted by your claims of conservative superiority. You are who people picture when thinking of hypocritical conservatives. If you had set out to hurt the conservative ideals you could not have planned a more divisive approach than you already take.
Even a blind squirrel finds a stopped clock once in a blue moon.
FWIW, People affected by natural disasters may be eligible for an array of financial assistance programs at the federal and state level.
Yeah, and it is an absolute exception to his administration: a competent individual. That’s such a rarity, it’s kind of incredible. Maybe he figured that after Michael Brown broke Bush’s back, he didn’t want to repeat that mistake.
Keep your computer plugged in. Please. For our sake.
Best wishes from elsewhere in the Hurricane Belt, Clothy. Good advice so far, do whatever you can to protect yourself and your home and the business’ windows and watch out mainly for flooding damage, it is the biggest cause of loss.
This sucker’s getting big and mean. They’re predicting 10-20 inches of rain as far north as Austin. Time to move to higher ground.
This one is being compared to tropical storm Allison back in 01. It wasn’t the wind so much as the week of flooding.
I hope it hits your house and only your house.
