I know, right? I know a family in the area and it is that bad. If anything, the media coverage doesn't do it justice, because they can't get to all the places. People so love to use the words fake news, and in a situation like this and to make it political is pretty sad.

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.
Some of the first photos did show damaged houses next to undamaged structures. But, those weren't where the eye went in, reporters were outside of that area. Once reporters got into Mexico Beach we saw the widespread destruction.

Are you saying that only one person has called global warming a conspiracy? Surely you aren't. Even the President tries to call it a conspiracy. Reread my post. I'm not calling the OP an conspiracy. I'm saying he or she is yet another person trying to make the idiotic case that global warming is a conspiracy.

Fake news, according the Trump-world is also a liberal conspiracy. If you don't believe me, look at the claims Trump has made about it.

Even Exxon Mobile confesses that global warming is real. It is time to consider maybe it is.

People who deny global warming rank right up there with flat earth theorists. It is real, every credible scientist and expert knows it, and yet you find people who somehow know more than them.

Almost every other country is on board with doing something about it, but Trump has put the US back into the dark ages.

Everybody knows deep down that global warming is caused by human body heat because of population increase.

Scott Wagner, who intends to run for governor, told a room of natural gas drilling advocates that climate change -- global warming -- is caused by body heat and Earth's apparent slow death spiral into the sun.

Scott is one of those really smart stable geniuses running your country, so he must be right.

i agree with you, i been in about thirty hurricanes in my life living on the gulf coast.

what people dont know, 90% of the damage is the first mile from the coast. its cause by the water.

new orleans was below sea level

of course you going lose trees, gas station canopys, and power lines.

most wind you going see in a hurricane is about 50 mph because of the terrain, the high winds are thirty foot up in elevation, so most times it takes the trees out. I have never had any damage to my house since 1972 due to hurricane, I live thirty miles from the gulf

Mexico Beach looks like Surfside Tx. after that one hurricane rolled in a few years ago. Only a newer beach house here and one over there.
