The origins of the storm and the direction it's heading for starters.  The quickness it intensified is another.  It's being track as one of the strongest hurricanes on record.

If I read correctly, this may be the first hurricane to ever make landfall in Tampa as well.

It's not.  But whatever.

Yep. Although these dudes have also been telling us for a while that this is going to happen. Hurricanes will become stronger.

This is the first hurricane to make direct landfall in Tampa in over 100 years.  The last time was the Tarpon Springs Hurricane in 1921.

What pork-laden boondoggle bill was FEMA support buried in?

Instead of disaster relief, under Biden FEMA has become the agency which has massively increased funding for housing and food for illegals.  In fact a collation of Democratic senators lead by Elizabeth Warren were seeking to increase this fund to $5 billion or about 10-fold this year which would serve to even put more illegals in high-end hotels in our biggest cities.  High class living for illegals entering this country, and bread crumbs for citizens getting hit by disaster.

Well... Long ago I read an article about a study where guys rated women on a scale of 1-5.  They got a fascinating result.  The 4s, they found, were classical beauties that everyone thought were attractive.  Kate Beckinsale, perhaps.  The women with the most 5s, however, also got a lot of (if not the most) 1s.  I think of Uma Thurman here.  I personally don't find her attractive (although not a 1).  But some guys would crawl over broken glass to drink her pee.  Anna Taylor-Joy seems like a more recent example.

Everything you just said may be 100% accurate.  Higher numbers still mean hotter when describing women.  So, while YOU may think a given woman isnt that hot you've never told your buddy that a chick was a 1 and meant to convey that she was hot.

I never focked a ten, but one night, I focked five twos, And I think that ought to count. I think that ought to go in your record as a positive achievement. Never focked a one, hey. Never got drunk enough to fock a one. You gotta be druuuunk ta fock a one! 'Course some guys'll fock anybody, y'know. "Hey, let's fock her." "That's a sign post, Bob!" "Weeeelll let's go for it." Some guys'll fock anybody. Not me...not anymore. Not since herpes and AIDS are going around. In fact, just to be on the safe side, I'm not even jerking off any more.

I’ve been hearing the Regime has been tinkering with HAARP so much that they hope by the 3rd major hurricane (they have sent against free states 3rd coming late next week), they will be able to create a permanent storm like the eye on Jupiter and station it over positions that do not bend the knee to The Regime.  All before Election Day - which will be cancelled.

We can debate who or what is causing climate change, but it's a fact that the Gulf of Mexico is warmer than historically, and that this leads to worse hurricanes.  That's just science.

Nope. Never. I love to golf and I can't golf when it is 80+ and humid. It feels like a job. I need to be golfing when it is between 60 and 75 and not humid. Florida has very few of the days. Massachusetts has 4 solid months.

I want to enjoy 75 degrees and sunny with no humidity and live an hour from the beach, an hour from the mountains and an hour from Redwood forests. Also the best wineries in the world.  Sure, we might get a big earthquake someday. But it hasn't happened since 1989. Hurricanes hit the South multiple times every year.  And it hot and swampy and oh yeah, "Florida Man"

Whatever. I agree, living without seasons sucks. Oh wait, you live that way.  I would prefer anything over California.  The focking people there are scum at a rate of 89%. 

I admit, I'm tolerant of my 3 brothers that live there from La Jolla, to Cardiff, to Redding. but the state is a focking mess. Because of it's residents.
