Hurricane Milton—kindly, old Uncle Milty—reached Category 5 status in almost record time after it became a hurricane. One meteorologist was brought to tears while reporting that the internal pressure had dropped 50 millibars in a shocking amount of time. If it maintains its forward speed, it’s going to hit the Florida Gulf coast sometime late in the day tomorrow, maybe around Tampa.
Windspeeds have been recorded at around 180 MPH, and some are saying it could be approaching Cat. 6 status, if such a thing existed, though it most likely will weaken before making landfall.
And all this on the heels of Helene.
What’s making matters unnecessarily worse is the swirl of mis- and disinformation finding its way into the mix. Anything to use to Republican advantage, right? Even if it jeopardizes peoples’ ability to get helpful and accurate information that might make their lives just barely, perceptibly better in the post-Helene chaos.
Donald Trump is such a heartless bastard. An absolutely worthless human slug. He and Elon and the rest are nothing but pathetic caricatures of uselessness, playing games, scratching and clawing for any perceived advantage in this ridiculous election Trump shouldn’t even be part of.
It’s difficult to speak in terms of sinking to a new low. By now, we should be fully aware that there is no depth to which Trump is not willing to plummet.
