Lots of rain would be better then the whole turkey. Especially the wind and storm surge. Doral, Miami and even Florida is holey as a piece of cereal floating in milk.

Posted by VenusAquariusYea they are harder to pinpoint in a hurricane rather then a super cell. Super cells you can see them on radar and know where it may drop.

I'm about an hour south of Tampa and I don't think we are completely safe - quite a few projections show it turning and coming straight for us - of course they don't know what it's gonna do but by the way people are acting and the looks of our grocery stores you would think they already told us we're getting hit ?

Unless any of us are wealthy enough to donate money to the islands that have been devastated by these natural disasters or have the time and money to travel to these places and volunteer to help, then all we can do is talk about it or just ignore it.

It sucks though because what if the money really is going to the people who need it? Unfortunately when trust is broken innocent people suffer because of it too. All that matters is that the donations get to the people in need however that may be possible so if people choose to donate on their own I'm sure that works too.click to expand
