Hurricane Dorian

[mrsmere]

It's still  chugging along down south.  I'm in Virginia and they forecast rain for us.  Hope everyone will be ok.

Definitely agree,

I feel very sorry for those people in the Bahamas who have been devastated by this hurricane.  Have you seen those pictures?  Those are little islands with mostly people who have little to begin with.  They will definitely need help.  Hopefully, a number of countries will band together and help provide the aid that is needed.  Thankfully, Dorien veered from the US mainland!

The Bahamas is not a poor place.  It is one of the most popular tourist places in the world.  Yes, they will need help and they are already getting it.  People were already "helping" before it even hit.  They only pictures I saw didn't look that bad.  I was surprised. But I have only seen a couple.

U have a family member who lives in Orlando, and they are prepared.  My brother lives on the Florida Panhandle and they say it is good over there, but please pray for all the people on the coast.  I live in Northern Virginia and we got the tale of Irma a few years ago and lost power for 3 days.

We are forecast to get remnants on Friday.  They closed schools and are using some of them for shelters.  Hope everyone remains safe and the storm goes out to sea.  I usually evaluate but I'm staying put this year since we are not directly in the path.

There is still a large segment of the population which does not have a lot of money. They largely survive on the tourist industry.  I don't know what pics you have seen but I have seen a great deal of devastation with 20 dead.  They think they will be finding a considerable amount more people deceased.

JaniceSW I totally agree with you.  The pictures have been all over the news and it doesn't matter if they have a lot a money or not it is still devastating.  I cannot image losing everything and having to start over.  I always try to donate to these causes even if it is not a lot.  I know I would want someone to pay it forward if I was in this same situation.

It's the same way here.  There is a large percentage of people without a lot of money.  There is so much fake news you don't know what to believe anyway.  I thought a hurricane was suppose to have wiped them out last year.  And they have already rebuilt? I would not live on an island like that.  You would think there would be more info on sites like Yahoo but there isn't.  Hardly any mention at all.

It actually does matter.  When Katrina came thru a woman at my church her sister lived in that area and lost her home.  She (the sister, not the one who lost it all) was at church crying and wanting us to give her money.  Then she turns around and says she was HEAVILY HEAVILY HEAVILY insured.  She got more than 3 times what her house was worth from insurance and other places.  So no I did not feel too sorry for her.  Nor do I think her sister should have been asking us to give her money.

I am all for helping people but not when they have 10 times what I do and are going to get thousands to millions in insurance money.  I know a guy who moved to my area after the same Hurricane.  He came here after he got his insurance money.  He came out of it stinkin RICH!

I have 1 cousin and 2 family "steps" family living  in 3 west coast areas. The steps are all prepared.  My cousin was here for our yearly reunion and was just ready to leave and go back but they decided to wait until it's over. They don't fly, they drive, and he's in his early 80s.

I live in North Carolina and we have a lot of hurricanes, some bad and some not so bad.  Last year it was Florence and that one was bad.  Right now I'm just waiting to start feeling the effects because I live close of interstate 95.

We had some wind gusts and some rain.  After every storm there is at least one branch in the yard, but we were really blessed this time and only had a few leaves scattered around.  Hope everyone is safe.

Having worked in law enforcement and emergency services for many years, it is so much easier to have people evacuate sooner than wait until it is to late.   You always feel so helpless when people call (who have waited to long) and want help and you have to say sorry, we have to wait until conditions are safer for us to help you.

How about do trumpy suggestion. Nuke it cause yeah that works right. He is a idiot.

Do you really think Trump said that?  Perhaps stop reading & believing an unsubstantiated claim by some unnamed source just because it fits your personal narrative even though it so outlandishly stupid.  Free your mind.
