I have two elderly friends on the west coast of Florida, which usually doesn't get the brunt of hurricanes. But this time it's going to hit them pretty hard too. One of them is closer to members of my family so I figure they are in touch; I'm in touch with the other one who says he's laid in a lot of provisions and figures with faith he and his cats will be fine. I hope he's right but he didn't mention laying in water, or any way of preserving food if the power goes out (which it has already for 25000 people south of him), or an alternative source of power, a kerosene lantern? I suppose he at least has candles. A TWELVE-FOOT surge is possible. Yikes.

Re: Hurricane Irma likely to be far worse than monster Andrew
Trump has enough resources that even losing a couple of expensive properties won't make a dent in them you know. It's the poorest people who will suffer the most as usual, the ones who will never get their houses back and have nowhere else to go.

Irma is Trump's fault?
​
There are people who never recovered from Katrina and never will.
