Western NC is gone…

Well…I don’t want to hear from any damn repub again that global warming is a hoax after what the hurricane just did to western North Carolina….30 inches of rain in less than a day…whole towns wiped off the face of the Earth from flooding…no power, no water, no internet…every road closed and no way to get repair crews in to do anything until the flooding subsides and that could be days to a week…and where the hell is the reporting on the aftermath? It should be front page news on every paper and news site in the country but where is it on CNN? Scroll all the way past the trump news and elon news and the Koalas at risk articles and then you see one tiny little blurb and that’s it…millions of people at risk and they have an article on elon that is 10 times bigger than the reporting of this disaster…this was a supercharged hurricane that went from a tropical storm to a category 4 monster in one day with the temp in the gulf water the highest it’s ever been…so don’t bullshit me that the “science is not settled” as the repubs continue to bleat…the climate is changing fast in ways that can’t be predicted…who would ever have thought that half a state could be wiped out by a hurricane? Katrina was bad, but this one was far worse and unless we get off our butts and do something the east coast is going to be uninhabitable in my lifetime…they already can’t get house insurance in Florida and that is going to spread like it has to California where the major insurers have exited the market due to the climate change driven wildfires there…if you vote for repubs, this will only get far worse…geez…
