What do you do, fill bathtubs up with cold water so you can stay cool or do you think water will stay on? Ugh.

Yeah, Big Water and Big Battery are as powerful as Big Oil and Big Pharma. Is Tits Limbaugh back on the oxy?Trump must be repeating something he heard on the "news".
Limbaugh says it's all fake news to sell water and batteries.
“Here comes a hurricane, local media goes on the air, ‘Big hurricane coming, oh, my God! Make sure you got batteries. Make sure you got water. It could be the worst ever. Have you seen the size of this baby? It’s already a Cat 5. Oh, my God, oh, my God, it’s bigger than the island of Haiti. Oh, my God.’ People run to the stores, they stock up everything, and they hoard. And they end up with vacant stores, nothing there. And it’s a big success. TV stations got eyeballs, the advertising businesses have sold out of business, gotta restock and the cycle repeats.”
And the real corker is his take on Hurricane Harvey. He says media coverage is blown way out of proportion in order to push climate change
“Hurricane Harvey and the TV pictures that accompany that go a long way to helping further and create the panic,” Limbaugh said.
"People in all of these government areas” are “hell-bent” on proving climate change."
Climate change has already been proven. Cynics like Rush aren't convinced. There is a difference.
Oh and, Hurricane Harvey's total bill to the Houston area is about $50 Billion, maybe as much as $150 B. The bill for disaster relief in discussion by the GOP congress is $8 B and it's not even clear that the bill can get by the ultra ultra righties.
"create the panic."

I wish his ex-wives were free to talk. I bet they'd have some stories to tell.

Being in a shelter would suck as well, but unless I had structural specs on my home, I'd go that route if unable to get out of the area.

Even rash Limbaugh left, hope they didn't listen to him.
since andrew they changed building code.
since wilma..code good, infrastructure bad so they invested billions on power grid infrastructure.
donald trump wishes to relax these codes so more wealthy people who pay an effective tax rate on capi gains can have more capi gains on the backs of working class.
normally, MOP would still have us working today..the day before a killer storm.
but! but! fake news..! just a way to appease big water and big batteries!
that's the #1 reason. no one want to be in a school auditorium filled with hundreds of others..hot, loud and uncomfortable.
