The administration did not fair so well in their recent disasters.

The response to Katrina was certainly the gold standard.

The Bush family supports Clinton. If you think Bush is incompetent, you should vote for Trump.

Hillary is already airing political attack ads on the weather channel to take advantage of this hurricane.

You really do not understand do you? The storm could cause so much damage and disruption in a heavily democratic area of Florida that Hillary loses Florida.

But how could this be happening? I thought Obama was supposed to slow the rise of the oceans, etc. How could he not have fixed this?

Not anymore. She's taken her ads off the Weather Channel. Trumpsters were starting to complain about her politicizing the disaster.

Are you dumb in real life as well or do you just act as one on DCUM?

And with this, Obama goes on the radio today and tells the people of Florida to make sure they register to vote. He is absolutely clueless. These people could lose their homes, or worse, and now they have to stop and make sure they register, otherwise Obama will be pissed off. What an ass

A massive amount of the failure during Katrina however fell on those in power in Louisiana. Has always been on the shoulders of local and state until the damage is done. What followed wasn't unusual in response either. BTDT more than once. Following there was other failures, no doubt, but once you screw up what happens before and during anything that follows is magnified.

BTW, why is NOLA the standard? The destruction along the Mississippi coast was far more extensive. What was the difference? The citizens and their elected officials weren't inept or corrupt.

New Orleans is a US treasure, for one thing, and a center of population. It's not like the Mississippi gulf coast is unsettled, but it's also not as dense as NO and surrounding environs.

PP does have a point. He did make some outlandish promises - none of which he has kept.

But he is our savior, he was supposed to fix all of this. Don't you remember his great speech about the rising oceans, how quickly we forget

Here is the pertinent excerpt from his speech:
"this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on Earth.”

NONE of this has happened.
(not pp, btw)

Riiiight, because congress has so been on board with any climate initiatives and Obama's been vetoing them, right? Is that your warped version of reality?

The hurricane will hit those areas where Clinton really needs Democrats to turn out. Some of them may be displaced and may not return to their homes for weeks, if not longer.

On top of that, even if FEMA does a pretty good job, it may not transfer to Clinton. The more likely scenario is that voters will just be pissed off and surly because of the hurricane damage, which could favor Trump.

What a fucking joke of a thread. The election isn't for a month, it is NOT next week.

Really? It's not going to be a week. The power can be out for 3-6 weeks, schools out for the same because of damage to building i.e. polling places will not be opened, people not returning to their homes, etc. The damage is caused when the eye passes on to land it usually an area 10-15 miles wide ...with this storm that type of damage will be not 10-15 miles , but hundreds of miles.

There read this
http://www.google.org/publicalerts/alert?aid=1310b453773fe1a6&hl=en&gl=US&source=wweather

product covers East Central Florida.

Strongest hurricane to affect this area in decades fast approaching.

New Information.

Changes To Watches and Warnings:
None.
Current Watches and Warnings:
A Hurricane Warning remains in effect for inland Volusia County, Orange, Seminole, Southern Brevard County, Osceola, Indian River, Okeechobee, St. Lucie, Martin, coastal Volusia County and northern Brevard County.
A Tropical Storm Warning remains in effect for northern Lake County, southern Lake County.
Storm Information:
About 200 miles southeast of Cape Canaveral FL or about 140 miles southeast of Fort Pierce FL.
26.2N 78.6W.
Storm intensity 140 mph.
Movement Northwest or 325 degrees at 13 mph.
Situation Overview.

Dangerous Hurricane Matthew continues to move Northwestward over the northern Bahamas and is forecast to move very near or over the east central coast of Florida late tonight and into Friday.

Conditions will continue to deteriorate through the remainder of the evening and especially overnight as the outer Rainbands from Matthew continue to increase in both number and intensity. Extremely dangerous, Life-threatening weather conditions are forecast in the next 12 to 24 hours. The center of Hurricane Matthew containing the strongest wind gusts, storm surge and heavy rain squalls will move very near or over portions of the east central Florida coastline very early Friday morning and into the afternoon.

Widespread extensive to devastating wind impacts will be felt. Airborne debris lofted by extreme winds will be capable of breaching structures, unprotected windows and vehicles. Effects such as these have not been experienced in Central Florida in decades. Local conditions will likely exceed what occurred during the Hurricanes of 2004. Expect widespread power outages.

Inland from the coastline, the threat is high for sustained hurricane force winds for a period of time Friday morning with a high threat for strong tropical storm force winds farther inland over Lake County. With an expected track close to the coastline, the potential for life threatening storm surge flooding is high to extreme. Storm Surge flooding of 7 to 11 feet is expected along the Barrier islands of Volusia and Brevard counties, with 4 to 7 feet of inundation expected over Indian River, Martin, and Saint Lucie County barrier islands. Large breaking waves along beaches will peak between 12 to 18 feet and produce rough, pounding surf resulting in a significant hazard of coastal flooding from dune breaching, along with very severe Beach scouring and sand dune erosion.

Significant downwind piling and surging of water will occur within the Intracoastal Waterway, lagoons, and inlets. The close approach of Matthew`s eye to the East Central Florida coast means properties facing east and west along the Intracoastal Waterway will be susceptible to wind driven piling of water. Additionally, wind driven piling of water will be possible along the banks of the Saint Johns River in Lake and Volusia Counties.

Heavy Rain, especially in squalls, will increase in coverage and frequency across East Central Florida Thursday into Friday. Widespread rainfall totals of 5 to 8 inches are expected with locally higher amounts, especially along the coast. Saturated soils in many areas from heavy September and early October rainfall will hold very little additional water before water quickly begins to Pond, especially in low lying and urban areas. Standing water will be capable of quickly rising, especially in flood prone areas, and could enter homes and businesses during Matthew`s Passage.

Residents and visitors to East Central Florida are strongly encouraged to monitor the latest track and intensity forecasts from the National Hurricane Center. Ensure final preparations according to your readiness plans have been completed.

Potential impacts.

Wind: Protect Against Life-threatening wind having possible devastating impacts across the coastal counties of East Central Florida. Potential impacts in this area include:
Structural damage to sturdy buildings, some with complete roof and wall failures. Complete Destruction of mobile homes. Damage greatly accentuated by large airborne projectiles. Locations may be uninhabitable for weeks or months.
Numerous large trees snapped or uprooted along with fences and roadway signs blown over.
Many roads impassable from large debris, and more within urban or heavily wooded places. Many bridges, Causeways, and access routes impassable.
Widespread power and communications outages.
Surge: Protect Against Life-threatening surge having possible devastating impacts across coastal areas of East Central Florida. Potential impacts in this area include:
Widespread deep Inundation, with storm surge flooding greatly accentuated by powerful battering waves. Structural damage to buildings, with many washing away. Damage greatly compounded from considerable floating debris. Locations may be uninhabitable for an extended period.
Near-shore escape routes and secondary roads will be washed out or severely flooded. Flood control systems and barriers may become stressed.
Extreme beach erosion. New shoreline cuts possible.
Massive damage to marinas, docks, boardwalks, Piers, and other coastal structures. Numerous small craft broken away from Moorings with many lifted onshore and stranded........etc

Still think it's a joke?
