Washington Post knows who to blame for hurricane Florence.

Now please tell me more about this "unsung success story, one of the best."

The report also states there were logistical challenges due to the location of Puerto Rico and the neighboring U.S. Virgin Islands, and added that the Federal Emergency Management Agency had to assume many of the local government’s responsibilities given the loss of power and communications as well as “limited local preparedness for a major hurricane.”

First let me state that the failed response in Puerto Rico is primarily is due to corruption and ineptness of the territory and local governments squarely on the island. The federal government provided plenty of assistance which was not distributed or frittered away. As noted in the other thread there is still an entire road full of cases of water a year after the storm that were not distributed by island officials.

In the Carolinas -- as we have done through many storms we rely on the state and local governments for the initial response in the first week or two after the storm. The Feds only come into play later with FEMA and Housing follow-up as required.

Sure, it had already been clipped by Irma a short while earlier.

Keep blaming the victim.

Vanzandt and Max E. Both bankrupt. One ex-con and the other fled to Canada after his foreclosure. But hey, they have a trading chat room! The irony that neither could have voted for their Fuerher.

One of the best arguments against climate change sea level rise I've seen.

You mean say NC the population density of 208 vs PR's 1112.. And how far does salt blow inland and screw grids?.. and when was the previous hurricane.. and the ones before that, and that.

Who are we kidding? GWB writes posts about how he thinks mentally ill homeless people are just terrible for not going to body lice ridden shelters. He has an opportunity to feel a bit superior and that is all he is after.

Then by the same leftist logic that gives Obama credit for today's economic successes, that was all Obama's fault because he left Trump with an unprepared, incompetent FEMA.

You're also trying to change the subject to deflect from the OP which is the utter insanity of this:

Where's that pretzel picture again of you trying to gain some insight? Oh, yes, here it is:

Only his progenitors or possibly his sniffing habit (you've heard him practice sniffing, right?) can be blamed for Trump's unprepared and incompetent brain.
