GIT-R-DONE! - Have ya seen that Al Gore movie An Inconvenient Truth? It’s about global warming. I thought it was about him losing the Presidency. Remember that speech when he’s yelling the phrase “the president played on our fears”? Global warming is still a THEORY and NOT a fact. Hey wait a minute… Is Al Gore “playing on our fears”? NAW!! Can’t see why a Weather Forecaster would send some poor unfortunate intern out into the storm to report while the wind and rain make reasonable people stay inside. True we need information, not watching someone without enough common sense to get in out of the deluge. Mother Nature gave the storm surges, before and after the storm passes, question is, how far inland will it go and how tall will it be, a 12’ surge would be up to the tip of a single story roof at its peek. Federal flood insurance would be a blessing than, homeowners insurance is more for wind etc., Who’s talking about that ?. GIT-R-DONE!
