Florida Gov. Rick Scott (R) on Saturday warned residents of the state in Hurricane Irma’s path to “evacuate now.”
“Not tonight, not in an hour, you need to go right now. If you’re in an evacuation zone, leave,” Scott said in a press conference. “This is a catastrophic storm. We’ve never seen this before.”
He said Irma is “bigger than our state” and warned residents of storm surge that could “cover your house.”
“You will not survive all this storm surge,” Scott said. “This is a life-threatening situation.”
Shorter Idiot: I want my $15Billion from Trump And Tax Cuts.
To the Governor who won’t allow “global climate change” to be mentioned:
“Blessed are they who accept scientific inference and have not yet seen.”
Rush said warnings about Irma were a liberal hoax. Then he left himself. Tell me that’s not something illegal along the lines of depraved indifference.
Cuba is getting absolutely hammered on its north coast. Here’s hoping those folks make it OK. Not that our media seem to care much.
My concern is for all the low information rubes who believe every utterance of that blowhard and who now may be in harm’s way because of Rush"s epic and exceedingly dangerous lies.

Weather Channel just said water temperatures in the Florida Strait are 91° … that’s ninety one degrees which is rocket fuel for a hurricane. And so how did that water get that warm?? Hmm? And how much energy does it take to raise an enormous volume of sea water by 2-3 degrees? The more I do thought experiments the scarier this gets.
Weather Channel just said some areas may see 15 feet of storm surge… I think I’m gonna step back from this ledge for a while…
