The sad thing is, I can't tell if that is a parody or if it is real. Nothing out of Merka surprises me any more.

Classic pincer movement from the God of storms. Must be the gays causing it...

Staying behind on Florida islands is 'almost like suicide'

Why do the idiot-right and the televangelist money-grabbers always assume that extreme meteorology is God's revenge against a society that indulges liberal values, when it could be God's punishment for indulging rightwing nut jobs? If God hated liberal values Norway would be having a hurricane a week, surely?

Did Lesbians Cause Hurricane Irma?

Florida Isn't that a state that has a Tea party supported Gov Isn't it the state that took measures to stop individuals living off -grid ? a state with huge levels of sunshine and tiny amounts of solar panels
A low lying swampy state prone to hurricanes run by climate change denialists .

Might not get a chance to post until this cunt bitch passes. We've done what we can, everything is a secured as we can make it. Current track has landfall around Naples, about 90-100 miles south of us, and passing directly over us Sunday night, might get a chance to see the eye of a big Cat 3. Not something I'm particularly looking forward to. Max wind gusts about 125 mph, sustained winds around 90. This is gonna suck big time. At least it's fairly fast moving so we won't be so worried about flooding. We've got two "safe" rooms with boarded up windows and thick doors in case it gets really ugly. The sprogs will be here with us, and 2 dogs, 2 cats, and a parrot. So me and three women. Me and three women who ALL started their periods yesterday or today. I'm going to be stuck in a house in a fucking Cat 3 hurricane with three women, all on the rag. Hail Mary, full of grace, pray for me now and in the hour of my death, which could come by my own hand sometime on Sunday.

I have plenty of beer stocked, which I'm likely to need. If I don't see y'all tomorrow morning I'll catch you on the flip side.

Just looking at a live map now, and it's just making landfall (or near enough) in Florida. Expected to go over Tampa in about 18 hours time as a cat 3.

This is obviously God's punishment for Americans for choosing an adulterer and a cheater for president. The death and destruction on the islands as unfortunate, but you can't raise a decent God's Wrath hurricane on the spot, so to speak. All the destruction from these acts of God seem to happen in the conservative states. Coincidence? I think not!

Sounds like Irma has come ashore pretty much right on top of lak with a 10-15 ft storm surge.
