[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't worry, folks.  According to Rush Limbaugh, this whole thing is just a manufactured crisis by the Deep State to boost the bottled water industry.  There is no hurricane coming for Florida.

Why do you listen to Rush? I have never listened to him and I have been a lifelong Republican. [/quote]

I'm the PP you're quoting.  I don't listen to him, although I have a few Republican friends who do.  I just saw an article about his broadcast from a third party in my news feed, and decided to link straight to the source, which was included in the article.  [/quote]

And, that is not what Limbaugh said.  I read the transcript.  He outlined the different paths.  Florida southern coast is one of them. 
His point was that the media has made this a crisis starting about a week ago.  Bottled water sold out almost immediately.  Yet, everyone has plenty of tap water they could use to fill containers.  That was his point.  Nothing wrong with preparedness.  It’s another thing to watch the general public rush to hoard supplies when they could be preparing things at home.  [/quote]

Have you been in this area when an inch of snow is projected?  Milk and toilet paper wiped out instantly. 
People overreacting to weather scenarios is not a right-left issue, and has nothing to do with liberal media conspiracy.
HOWEVER, the government and university weather forecasters trying to get people prepared to NOT DIE should the largest Atlantic hurricane in our lifetime hit, seems like a good idea. And anyone downplaying or dismissing those efforts is putting people's lives at risk.[/quote]

+1. Telling people this is overblown is telling them there is no need to board up their homes, have the recommended supplies on hand (3 days of food, water, extra medicine, etc) and not to worry about evacuation orders. If Irma hits as projected, this puts lives at risk.  The idiots who listen to Rush ( which does not really bother me) and the people who have to rescue them (which bothers me a lot). Did you see what happened during Harvey?

And I bet you every dollar I have that Rush is somewhere dry and safe while this plays out. With a generous supply of Oxy.

The military is evacuating all but a handful of super essential personnel.  Are they a victim of MSM over reaction too? [/quote]

You really believe this is what Rush said and was serious about it? Really? LOL.

This is classic Rush humor - making fun of liberals by saying "I bet corporations made it up to sell more water in bottles". I actually was listening when he said it.

He DID make an excellent point today. Scott called for evacuation, mayor in Miami is holding back. Reason being is some of the models have this storm well off the coast of FL and making real landfall around the SC/GA border. The Nat'l Hurricane Service has Miami in the bullseye, and even if the storm pulls east like the other models predict, NHS will be more likely to hold back a day or so BECAUSE there's already been consequences to what they warned of. He said it's always a fine line with these storms.[/quote]

Thank you for clarifying this. I wondered if he verved off into discussing HAARP conspiracy theories as some are. [/quote]
