Latest report has the eye hitting Sarasota/Manatee area on Wednesday night at approximately 8 PM as a Category 2 after being the water as a Category 3.

My opinion is that it will go a little farther East sparing Tampa but staying west of Miami.

But this late in the season must be a serious anomaly.
And a second one coming.

Yes, but as you well know trends have to be looked on average. It could very well be that the next summer in Europe is unusually cold and rainy. Won't disprovevthe overall trend towards warmer climate.

Although I certainly feel those people in Florida and Texas who suffer under their fascist governors, I do get a certain satisfaction when nature comes and destroys parts of those places. I would, however, be delighted to throw rolls of paper towels at those governors after hurricanes come and destroy their states to help them.

Good one. Scott wanted FL to send back the money but DeSantis decided to keep the money. Guess he decided to keep the money for what he did a few weeks ago. However, here is a question for me - why DeSantis fly them to Mass, instead of back to Venezuela?

Because President Obama has a summer home where he sent them.

Venezuela has a prohibition of flights from the USA, too.
You know, we have our loony too.

Forgive men that rape and assault you.
This from a religion in which god can't forgive that millennia ago, a man and a woman took a bite from a fruit. Makes perfect sense.
(I know this is not an official church event).

It was an official church event to the people who organized it, they just didn't tell any participants (except maybe the future rapists). The bad christians certainly seem to outnumber the good ones in America these days. Sadly an admission of christianity comes with bad caveats these days.

I'm sitting here waiting for Ron DeSantis to congratulate himself on air for getting dozens of Venezuelan migrants out of Ian's way. Because that's what they do.

But perhaps not even HE is THAT bent and twisted.
