1. And there's no FEMA Director.

6. I hate to say this, but that might actually be a good thing given the incompetent and venal

examples of officials nominated by this administration.

2. You can always count on rawstory to misspell something.

It's a LEVEE that holds back water, not a LEVY. Unless you want to tax somebody for peeing, I guess.

3. 20 inches of rain expected in southern Louisiana.

Absolutely horrible.

4. My poor people are really getting screwed six ways from Sunday.

The flooding up in the delta caused them to open the floodgates, spilling so much fresh water into the gulf it’s killing the dolphins and ruining the oyster industry, and causing such a toxic algae bloom no one can swim in the ocean. Now this bullshit. People are going to suffer every way possible. It’s heartbreaking.

7. This looks like a disaster in the making and I am not talking about the actual storm damage. Do

you have any idea if there are local disaster plans being implemented in advance of this storm?

8. The rain, storm surge and flooding can be scary

but this is a TS in terms of wind. Pay serious attention to updates.
Stay safe everyone
