The Weather Channel just said, "This is a real danger and NOT FAKE NEWS".

[BigmanPigman]

Grassley had to get the fake prez's attention to notice this as a possible problem by TWEETING him. I can't believe our country has come to this in 7 months (seems like 70 years).

1. I'm not surprised

I've been on FB and some of these people are ridiculous and yes they are Texans. They are saying how the media is overreacting, nothing is going to happen in Houston and there was one who claimed that he went through Alicia and that it was barely a Cat 1 and that “revisionist history” changed it to a Cat 3. Yes I'm 100% sure they are Trumpies as well.

3. +1

[texasfiddler]

19. Global Warming is not "Fake News"

My house is about to be nailed by the eye of this storm (not all Texans are brainwashed!)

[Delphinus]

26. Be safe!

I hope you're not trying to ride it out ...

[texasfiddler]

34. Not trying to ride it out

It is kind of a way of life here. If it builds to a cat 4 or 5, I will definitely regret my decision. We don't live right on the coast. We are about 45 miles inland. I built the house like a tank in 1999 to weather hurricanes. My stud spacing and lag bolts are designed for hurricane areas. I have hurricane ties on every rafter. It survived Cat 2 Claudette eye-wall in 2004 (110 mph). I am more concerned about my new ground mount 15.6 kW solar array. We will see how good my engineering skills are. Thanks for the concern. I will be back in 5 or 6 days (maybe) to describe how everything turned out. I have tons of animals to tend to. We have a creek on our ranch and I need to make sure the cattle are on the correct side of it before the storm hits.

[Delphinus]

37. Sending

good vibes your way. I look forward to your return and the stories you'll tell.

[TheBlackAdder]

28. RW Logic: Only Fake News would try and tell you they're NOT Fake News!

[gratuitous]

32. Just like only the true messiah denies his divinity

I truly don't wish anyone harm, but I wonder what it's going to take to pierce the stubborn ignorance of some people.

[TheBlackAdder]

33. I'm not the messiah.

[gratuitous]

35. Don't we all know it?

You're just a very naughty boy. Or are you a horrid little man?

[Eliot Rosewater]

2. God damn them, all of them.

When I think of the men and women who died for this country.

When I think of the sacrifices made to create this great country

GOD DAMN THEM ALL TO HELL

That fucker in the WH and his calling out journalists, I mean fuck, how is this tolerated?

[LittleGirl]

17. +1 thank you

for saying it so well. I mean, really, how the fuck is this tolerated?

[Eliot Rosewater]

21. Each day I become more and more angry. Trump is a demented, sick sociopath

and isnt the problem in the big picture anymore than a rabid dog is to blame for biting you, sort of. (Dont get me wrong, I hate him with a passion and the heat of ten suns)

The problem are the 50 million Americans, who vote, who support him STILL.

For them I have nothing but hate.

Thanks...

[LittleGirl]

36. For me

it's hard to hate someone I've never met but he's on my shit list for sure.
If something happens and I am invited to the WH to meet him, I believe I would go only to spit on his shoes.
really, that's what I'd do. I'd like to see DC again otherwise. LOL.

[JustAnotherGen]

31. You said it well

Unfortunately - the folks down there saying this are allowing their blind loyalty to put their lives in danger.

I've lived in NJ for just about 12 years after living in Western NY for about 30 years.

Prior to living here I engaged in business here - the land of the rainy Noreaster. The Monday of Sandy I went to work. Me about five other people at our Global Headquarters. I left about 9 AM even though they had downgraded the storm. I expected a strong Noreaster. I didn't expect transformers to blow up and massive oak trees out of their roots in Central NJ - ie inland.

Two falls ago I was home alone - 15 miles more down the road towards PA and with pleurisy - was pulling shit inside the garage and battening down the hatches for a tropical storm that fizzled.

Lessons learned - over prepare. I wish the people snorting at this in the path of the storm the absolute best.

[liberalmuse]

4. Jesus help us.

This is getting ridiculous!

[malaise]

5. But Venezuela

[lpbk2713]

6. RWers don't like TWC talking about all that science stuff.

[shraby]

7. Those calling it fake news and refuse to pay attention, may find themselves out of the gene pool.

Mother nature won't be denied.

[LittleGirl]

18. Mother Nature doesn't discriminate.

She's badass and you better respect her. Or you can die by her wrath.
She's the scariest bitch alive.

[MontanaMama]

8. Well when the winds and storm surge

damage their homes and businesses or kills someone they know, they won't need any FEMA funds will they?

Fuck each and every one of them. Time for Mother Nature to cull the herd.

[Big_K]

11. Yes, and they won't be bitchin' about big govnmnt then!

They'll get their asses kicked, and boy howdy will they be lining up for all that help from the government they hate and want to seceded from.

Anxious to see what horse organization Trump's head of FEMA is from...

[kerry-is-my-prez]

14. Thank gawd for Clinton and James Witt. Until then, Florida was screwed. I don't know what happened

in the other states.

[lark]

9. Such a long, dreary, maddening nightmare, it seems so unreal.

When will this nightmare end and normalcy break out once more? When will the so-called president be gone so we can breathe freely again? Robert Mueller, please heed our cries and end this crisis.

[BigmanPigman]

10. Will the GOP Congress even impeach him?

We may have to take to the streets and pressure them (like with the ACA repeal but with much bigger reistance) and have people and business pressure them with boycotts.

[Towlie]

13. The way evidence is building up, the indictment should be thicker than the Manhattan phone book.

And I'll bet Rachel Maddow's work will turn out to be a significant contribution to the investigation.

[lark]

23. Pray, boycott and #RESIST now.

Do whatever is needed if Repugs prove that their allegiance isn't to the USA when Mueller brings proof that Drumpf/Pence/Ryan/McConnell are criminals and traitors.

I will join you in the streets if/when necessary.

[Towlie]

12. The Weather Channel - Supreme Masters of Clickbait

And that's just one of the many extremely annoying aspects of the bloated weather.com website.

[Leith]

15. Well, Yes

Whenever they make an "improvement," it's worse than before. Have you checked the radar in motion? It takes way too long to load (more than 2 minutes). It used to be that 20 seconds was slow.

When you click on one of their interesting looking stories, it's always a disappointment.

Wednesday, they predicted a 20% chance of rain but the thunderstorm covered most of the city all afternoon and into the evening. Their predictions are terrible!

But their predictions are spot on for this weekend. If I were in TX, I wouldn't stop until I got to El Paso. Then I would continue on to New Mexico for the scenery.

[steve2470]

16. on CNN I saw a forecast of maybe 52 INCHES of rain near Victoria I think

That's over four freaking feet of rain.....incredible if it happens.

[texasfiddler]

22. I live 20 miles on the Corpus Christi Side of Victoria

This is going to be a long drawn out shit storm. We live in the country on a ridge so I am not concerned about flooding. I do think we will be isolated for at least four days. We have a back up generator with lots of fuel. We might even experience the eye-wall twice if it backs up back to the gulf. We are a bunch of old rare crusty liberal rednecks. We will survive. FUCK TRUMP! I don't want him down here.

[steve2470]

24. best wishes to you, I sure hope you don't get anything near 52 inches or even 36

yes fuck trump!

[steve2470]

30. 52.04 inches is the long-term forecast for this per CNN for Victoria

best wishes!

[Plucketeer]

20. 7 months or 70 years

either way, we've got a 7 year old for president.

[Reiyuki]

25. During Katrina, I saw reporters in raincoats during the peak of the hurricane

saying "It's incredibly dangerous to be outside doing exactly what I am doing. Everyone should evacuate (except us)"

Ideally, they would be inside showing pictures of the carnage. But no, got to get the personal danger element and make the media look like hypocrites at the same time.

I hadn't been paying attention to the weather coverage, are they doing it this time too?

[steve2470]

27. yes, including Corpus Christi which might be the landfall center nt

[Reiyuki]

29. (snort's cocaine) Whew, wow!! And now, our next report on the terrible dangers of cocaine.
