Hurricane Harvey – the partisan spin

Hurricane Harvey

It has been 12 long years since a major hurricane (Category 3 or above) has hit the US mainland and Harvey is turning out to be catastrophic. Just watching the news last night was terrifying. Not only had it strengthened wind-wise, the ensuing wobbling will keep in the southern part of Texas for a few days lambasting the residents there. I thought that 41″ of rain that was forecasted a couple of days ago (YIKES – three and a half FEET of rain in 4 days????) – last night I heard up to 50″!

Already, I’ve heard reports that Ground Zero, Rockport, has all but been wiped out by 135mph winds.

When you see this from the mayor about those that didn’t evacuate, you know things are bad:

“‘We’re suggesting if people are going to stay here, mark their arm with a Sharpie pen with their name and Social Security number,’

NO amount of preparedness is going to help you “shelter in place” in those kinds of circumstances. From the last couple of days of news on it, the only preparedness that will be of use is the “Get out of Dodge” kind. I haven’t turned on the TV yet this morning to see what is being reported on it, but I’m expecting to see just vast debris fields. And this will only continue over the next few days where it won’t be the wind but all that rain – with nowhere to go.

God help them! But of course, you watch, there will be lots of political and partisan spin put on what was/wasn’t done before hand, during, and afterward.  We’ve watched and heard the Left, and the NeverTrumpers do everything they can to sully, insinuate, and call out EVERYthing this administration has, is, or will be doing as incompetent, cruel hearted, uncaring, extremist, racist, unstable…you get the idea.  Watch it go to DEFCON4 now.

And of course, the Left will think and compare it against:
