Anyone questioning Hurricane Michael's damage and the effect it had on so many lives are pathetic human beings. I really don't have any kind words for you.

That's called news. You don't look for the smallest tree. D'oh!

Tell that to all the people in inland North Carolina and Virginia that died or lost their homes in flooding from hurricanes this year.

I feel bad for the victims of this storm, first the storm itself then comes the swarm of low IQ authoritarians that won't let them go back to their houses.
There is no but. Panama City was whiped out. Please don’t pretend you know things when you don’t. And please don’t diminish the devastation this has caused to so many who have lost everything

I just got back from there on a Red Cross deployment. Why don't you go there, and see if anything can make it look worse.


These kinds of posts just show the blatant ignorance of some people and God knows what it gets them.

I was right in the middle of a Cat 4 hurricane (Hugo) and I can assure you the devastation is not fake news. I can imagine what it looks like in Florida because I have seen the horror first hand. I feel for all of the people that are suffering the impact of this storm.

Wait. I though Manhattan would be under water by now. In fact YEARS ago. I am disappointed.

I live not too far from where Michael hit and have relatives who lived in Panama City. In fact my relatives is working with the Red Cross. The damage is real. Mexico Beach and, from what I hear, even a military base is devastated. There are trains flipped on its side.

Funny, I've seen aerial views showing several blocks looking as if there'd been an air strike. Have you considered removing the "Fake News! " blinders you got from the Trump web-site?
