Re: Hurricane Irma
Trump is going to be cursing that Irma. He will fight wind with fire. He will not allow a four letter word to get the better of him.

Re: Hurricane Irma
From our thoughts to Mother Nature's ear. We are almost to Ocala after 8 hours, but 2 of those were spent waiting for AAA when the car wouldn't start after a gas stop. Battery on an 18 month old SUV...!
We used gas buddy to find a gas station with no wait. Waze has probably shaved a few hours off the trip by routing us around heavy traffic on the turnpike this morning.
We're staying near Gainesville for the night and will decide where we go after getting an update tomorrow. It looks like this one might keep moving west.

Re: Hurricane Irma
Trump and Branson also lost homes
President Trump’s and Richard Branson’s Caribbean homes destroyed by Hurricane Irma
Rebuilding won't even make a dint in their fortunes. I'm sick of reading about celebrity holiday homes that have been damaged/destroyed. Most had already flown out in their private jets....whilst moaning about climate change.

I don't think Trump believes in climate change.

Thanks Rete. I might take you up on that.

Re: Hurricane Irma
If it continues to move west, then forget Mississippi for a safe haven. It is already, on its projected path, going to hit the upper NE part of Mississippi. We are close to the Alabama border and considered coastal so we won't be touched. But if it swings more westward we will get the outer bands of the hurricane.
