It’s funny how this time it seems like they’re overreacting. I’m all for being prepared, but Jindal is already asking for a federal state of disaster declaration. :picard: Are you kidding me? The 5 day cone shows it could hit anywhere from Texas to Florida **ON TUESDAY** but you asked for a disaster declaration yesterday? ---

700 buses that can hold, lets say 60 (more in tome of need)… thats 42,000+ ppl/trip. On friday, they should be able to make 4 trips. 168,000 people, if needed, state aid should evacuate. That number alone is for the welfare, insurance, and unemployment scamming individuals that piggy back the system. And if they can’t make it to the damn bus, I couldn’t even feel sorry. ---

150mph winds strong cat 4. It weakened a bit going over Cuba but still has the opportunity to become a Cat 5 in the Gulf. This is not good. ![http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/storm_graphics/AT07/refresh/AL0708W+gif/205743W_sm.gif](http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/storm_graphics/AT07/refresh/AL0708W+gif/205743W_sm.gif) ---

Woahhhh. This thing blew the fuck up today. Still sitting at 140MPH sustained winds WHILE interacting with the land of Cuba. Way moreso than they predicted as well. I don’t think they foresaw this thing getting to cat 4 strength let alone a strong cat 4. Not looking good for the gulf coast. ---
