Midnight Meme Of The Day!

by Noah

As I write this on Tuesday afternoon, Hurricane Sally has parked itself, barely moving, in the Gulf Of Mexico, bashing a length of coastline from the Florida panhandle through Alabama and Mississippi all the way to Baton Rouge. Because it's stationary, the weather forecasters had to up the possible maximum rainfall totals from up to 15 inches to up to 30 inches or more. The residents in multiple areas may even be assaulted by not the usual one storm surge but two. Do I hear three? The coastline is low level to begin with. Would I live in such a place? No. But millions of my fellow humans, such as they are, do. Judging from their voting patterns, those fellow humans don't believe climate change is a problem. What it's gonna take is anybody's guess. It doesn't help that the politicians they elect tell them climate change is a hoax and there's nothing to panic about, or, as the idol of republicans everywhere says, "Science Doesn't know."

The freakish all but stationary Hurricane Sally is only a Category 1 hurricane and it's causing mega damage. What happens when a category 4 or 5 storm acts the same way as Big Bad Girl Sally? That's bound to happen sooner or later. Even a Category 3 will dump even more rain and it will do it with the added characteristic of action like God's own magnificent giant new power sander, leaving nothing, nada, zippo in its wake. That day is coming. The only thing science doesn't know is which day on the calendar that is. But, not to worry. No need to panic. It may come, but one day, like a miracle, it will disappear. And so will a lot of things; land, businesses, cars, boats, people... but not psychopathic and sociopathic scumbag politicians.
