Climate Denier Hard To Refute

This country needs more democracy, and more good old fashioned common sense solutions.

It's important to vote, everybody. Maybe we should offer free rides to the polls.

If I have to experience a hurricane over the Appalachian mountains rather than just the tropical depression remnant, then I am moving over to the global warming side.

It's not the numbers that impress me, but the severity of the ones we get, which is largely a function of ocean temperatures.

The Gulf Stream is how the Earth circulates heat from the middle latitudes up to the Arctic. The hotter the temps in the middle latitudes over the course of a year, the warmer the Gulf Stream gets. The warmer it gets, the stronger the hurricanes tend to become before they hit a landmass.

This one is pushing cat 5 already. If it hits Charleston, it could take a short trip up here into the mountains. Charleston will be completely fucked, btw.

Regardless, whatever is left of it is going to slam into these mountains and park here for days.

Be careful over there, and guard your supplies.

One thing for sure, the state of NC DGAF about your access to food, water, shelter, &c.

Went through a lot of these in Florida.

First priority was always water. Find or bottle at least 5-10 gallons for yourself. A rain catchment system will be ideal.

Expect to be out of electricity for 1-2 weeks. Plan accordingly. AC was the biggest issue by far down there, but probably won’t be so bad for you.

Have a battery-powered radio on hand. The whole thing is a lot less scary when you can listen to a reporter.

Eat/cook everything in your freezer now. Then the fridge.

Have canned/shelf-stable food ready for a week.

If you have kids or females present, prepare to hold their entire world together. It’s draining. Board games and books help.

Don’t go anywhere until the power is back. Roads will be impassable. Get your extended family together, or out of the area.

You might see some pretty incredible wind down in the valleys. The main impact though will be more rain than you’ve ever seen in your life. Get valuables to the second story or attic. Have a hatchet in your attic, if you’re in a flood prone area, to chop a hole in the roof.

Dude, I am a professional Floridian.
