I’m all for folks packing up the family and bailing. Bug out for high ground…It’s foolish in the extreme to challenge a storm like this.
Tell it to the 28 dead people and their families.
Go ahead. I’ll wait…
ETA: it is more like 140 after digging through the rubble in Haiti, but shall we guess if Haiti matters to these people??
Heat Street inexplicably went after President Barack Obama for “refusing” to protect GOP nominee Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort from the hurricane’s wrath.
What, exactly, was President Obama supposed to do? Give the hurricane stinkeye? Address it with harsh language? Politely ask it to leave?
I’m a bit unclear on what the protocol for the POTUS to protect individual pieces of private property might be.
I wonder how many sharks it would take to devour Rush?
With a lead anchor.
The stupid hurts . I lived through Andrew in 92 and it scared the shit out of me. This is a cat 4 that has killed 30 people so far.
I now live in central Florida about a half hour north of Orlando and if that thing moves 3 degrees west we are fucked.
Yeah go out and stand in it asshole
Drudge later posted the web address of a NOAA buoy and encouraged readers to monitor the storm on their own, to see if “observations match the Hurricane Center’s claimed 140 mph sustained winds."
just wondering what Drudge’s advice is for the people staying put and doing their own ‘monitoring’ when the wind speeds are actually confirmed by their SkyMall weather stations…
A friend in Orlando told me he has boarded up his house … just in case.
These are the same people who allow kids to fiddle with guns with minimal training…and don’t want Pediatricians to bring it up. Public safety is a foreign concept to these people.
We need bigger sharks!
Morons, or, as Bugs Bunny said “Maroons”.
The Drudge story cannot fail to be true. Some areas will not be hit as hard and they’ll have another story.

Release the Kraken!
To a point . The Police and emergency management people have been on the teevee telling the people in the evacuation zones “Once the winds hit 45 mph you’re on your own . We ain’t going out to save your ass. You’ve been warned so don’t call us”
Someone alert the Darwin Awards for incoming applications.
Special planes are sent in to monitor the winds.
I don’t think his readers (they can read?!) have such a plane at their disposal.
By all means, you silly skeptics, haul your butts down there and don’t forget your goggles.
There should be a “Big Talker” award.
Agreed. You can put yourself at risk if you choose, but you have no right to risk the lives of others.
I really, really, really loathe these fucking people.
Really.
