(175,752 posts)Depending on where the flooding is in two days, the airports might not even be open and the streets are still likely to be a mess. He should stay away.

(10,279 posts)irritable they are after a big flood? He should stomp around in the weeds and rubble. Get a real sense of the landscape that has to be cleared before rebuilding can start.

(17,989 posts)Harvey isn't going anywhere until Thursday and may swing back out to sea, making yet another landfall. I don't think they need his royal presence until the storm finally clears....that is unless his highness wants to man a boat and help with the rescues that may be occurring until the middle of this week.

(17,989 posts)He'll show up, spout a few vague phrases Kelly made him memorize, then make 2 or 3 insensitive, off the cuff remarks and quickly jet away, wondering why 65% of the country thinks he's a monumental ass for turning a human tragedy into twittler photo op. "Isn't it all about him, anyway?" It's his usual pattern.
He'll say the weather was perfect, the golfing was great, and the fake news media just made it all up to draw attention away from him.
