The Storm

It's supposed to be HUGE. I read where a weather guy said he had NEVER seen anything like this. It's supposed to hit the east coast Monday.

It looks impressive in the satellite pic.

This is a more recent view.

Obama is behind it.
So he can win the election.

white men can't jump?

Wrong. It's Bush's fault.

Those of us who live in "The State of Jefferson" are among the countries brightest citizens! Sure, we must be alert to forest fire danger. And, they tell us that "someday" the earth will move beneath our feet. But all in all, this is "God's country", the almost perfect place to live.

I feel for those on the east coast and wish them well in dealing with this thing. But I really hope they don't hear about this part of the country and start moving in.

And maybe a reminder to all of us to keep some water, canned goods, etc on hand. (We could go back to Clone's topic on this and get all the details).

My family back east is in kind of an uproar but they are preparing. My sister has property very close to the water and lives on Long Island, which is supposed to get hammered. Some of my friends are taking it lightly but most aren't. Most of them have stocked up on all the necessities and those not so inclined have been invited to crash if it comes to that.

I've lived through nor'easters, blizzards and the occasional hurricane but nothing like this. My mom has vivid memories of the 1938 Hurricane which did amazing damage. This storm is being compared to that one except that instead of a twelve-hour event, it may be as long as 36 hours which will be devastating.

Part of me feels guilty for being so safe here in Oregon, like when we were in CA on 9/11, knowing friends and family are in harm's way. This time, at least, people can get ready. The whole area is shutting down - schools, transportation systems, businesses, etc. tonight at around 7:00 p.m. There are massive evacuations taking place, mostly from coastal areas.

I'll be keeping an eye on this one and hoping for the best.

Looks like the blue staters really are being punished for voting for Obama. God isn't going to wait until after the election after all.

[Larry]

In the end, an overhyped storm to take the news cycle off of Obamas impending doom. Hell, they might even try to spin it as a cause of his losing somehow.

How did he get his hands on Bush's Weather machine?

[orygunluvr]

Obama is giving a PSA on the storm right now, and it sounds like he's explaining his last 4 years in office. "It's going to be a slow moving storm, that is going to affect millions of people".....

[Scrapper]

This is the new Indian River inlet bridge on the Delaware coast that just opened this summer and it's now collapsed. The brunt of the storm hasn't even hit yet.

[Scrapper]

This is BEFORE the storm. Atlantic City with pieces of what was once the Atlantic City boardwalk floating by.

[PonderThis]

How did Obama manage to do that?

He didn't, Bush did. You really need to check your leftists memo updates more often, you're slipping..

[Scrapper]

It's not Obama... it's God! Seems he's pissed off about the homosexuals and marriage equality! :wacko:

Anti-Gay Preacher Blames Hurricane Sandy On Homosexuality And Marriage Equality

A Christian religious leader has already claimed that Hurricane Sandy is further proof that “God is systematically destroying America” as political judgment for the “homosexual agenda.” John McTernan previously made similar allusions about Hurricanes Katrina (2005) and Isaac (2012), which he reiterated in his urgent call to prayer posted Sunday evening (via Gay Star News):
Just last August, Hurricane Isaac hit New Orleans seven years later, on the exact day of Hurricane Katrina. Both hit during the week of the homosexual event called Southern Decadence in New Orleans!
McTernan believes that it is noteworthy that Hurricane Sandy is hitting 21 years after the “Perfect Storm,” because 3 is a “significant number with God”:
Twenty-one years breaks down to 7 x 3, which is a significant number with God. Three is perfection as the Godhead is three in one while seven is perfection.
It appears that God gave America 21 years to repent of interfering with His prophetic plan for Israel; however, it has gotten worse under all the presidents and especially Obama. Obama is 100 percent behind the Muslim Brotherhood which has vowed to destroy Israel and take Jerusalem. Both candidates are pro-homosexual and are behind the homosexual agenda. America is under political judgment and the church does not know it!
Religious spokespeople have frequently tried to draw bizarre connections between natural disasters and the LGBT community. Last year, the American Family Association’s Buster Wilson similarly claimed that Hurricane Isaac was punishment for the Southern Decadence LGBT festival. Rick Joyner had the same to say about Hurricane Katrina, claiming that “[God]‘s not gonna put up with perversion anymore.” Pat Robertson has long believed that acceptance of homosexuality could result in hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, terrorist bombs, and “possibly a meteor.”

Can you say "Bat Shit Crazy"?!?!

#sandy is now pushing water up onto runway at JFK airport. Storm is still hours from landfall.
