Well, Flo hit landfall about 2 1/2 hours ago. So, at the snail's pace they said it was going, it's about 18 miles inland now. This is about 3 hours ago: https://www.wtsp.com/video/weather/accu ... 07-8251454 Came in as a Cat-1 - still a 'cane, but it looks like the vast majority of people "dodged a bullet" on this one. Some river flooding issues, and some typically damage right where they got the brunt of the worst of the storm and surge, but overall, not too bad, it seems.

Yeah some damage to boats and docks, but so far no inland flooding. That'll come, though, if it stays in the area.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

If there are any casualties, the blood is on Trump's hands.

Y'all make it like that. You make such a big deal out of the Presidency, every fucking time. Jesus, think about the next election... I'm leaving the country!

See, here he is in the oval office, openly plotting to send Hurricane Florence to the Carolinas. If only his high ranking aides could have thwarted this master plan to destroy the democracy of the Carolinas....

Massive Typhoon heading for the northern Philippines, Taiwan and Hong Kong. "If it continues on its current path, Super Typhoon Mangkhut will be the strongest storm to hit Hong Kong since records began."
