Hurricanes aren’t real because the world is flat, it’s just a big fan that moves air around. ---

The photos of the damage are insane. Quite similar to the tornado damage I’ve seen in Oklahoma. Just houses being totally wiped away. Also, anyone else having trouble editing posts? It won’t let me fix that URL quote from my earlier post. I hit edit and it just comes up blank. Try to re-post the whole thing and it just spins. ---

I’ve also been getting a lot of warnings from Chrome when I click post about, “Are you sure you want to leave this page without posting” and a Leave or Stay button. If I click Stay nothing happens and if I click Leave it does actually make the post but then there’s a 100% chance I won’t be able to edit it. ---

I get the same issues about are you sure you want to leave this page, its also very hard for me to even type in the text box to reply or make a post. I have to click it a million times before my cursor shows up in the box. I was also going to reply with quote @JayS 's post to write this response but it wouldn’t let me. ---
