Florence is small potatoes.  This is Super Typhoon Mangkhut.  In addition to packing 150mph winds and a 600-mile wide rain band, "Mangkhut" is a much cooler name than "Florence."  And that small little green thing on the left of the photo is the Philippines.

The Associated Press reports that the storm may unload 18 trillion gallons of rain on the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic. “Florence’s 18 trillion gallons is as much water as there is in the entire Chesapeake Bay,” its article says. “It’s also enough to cover the entire state of Texas with nearly four inches (10 centimeters) of water.”

same.  one of many blessings that i am very grateful for.  (well, i am allergic to naproxen and likely aspirin, but it's pretty easy to stay away from those - unlike pollen).

just about everyone else around me suffers, and i so mean suffers, from seasonal allergies.  look horrible (doesn't sound great either).

You can be guaranteed, that when it is destroyed, your American tax dollars will be used to pay for it to be rebuilt, and there's not a dam thing you can do about it.  Plus, all the contractors to do it, will only be allowed to stay at other Trump owned properties, while the job is being done, so he gets that money too. 

And poor people who can't pay their rent, will vote for him in 2020 . . . because they hate rich people.
