I think we get more weather damage from Nor'easters that come up the
coastline. They can produce a lot of rain (or snow), high winds and
typically last longer than a hurricane or tropical storm.

The "No Name" or "Perfect Storm" of 1991 did a lot of damage in
Massachusetts and basically shut the east coast down for a week or more.

Then there was last winter. A major snow storm every 5 days for over a
month. Yuck.

Yabut, as I learned in Florida, the hurricanes we get up here, with rare
exceptions, are not like the hurricanes in Florida. Wilma scared the
crap out of me.


Charley was the exciting one for us. Wilma may have even blown harder
but it did not seem as bad for me, because of the wind direction..

You are right about the northern storms tho. A Cat 3 is very rare up
there (like 1938 or sumpin)

We got our worst surge from Bob, a fairly modest storm. It is all in
direction and duration.



Wilma was the first hurricane that I had ever had experienced the "eye"
passing overhead. It was eerie. For us on the east coast, the back
side winds were stronger than the front. Fortunately they didn't last
as long. If I remember correctly, the front was a 4 hour adventure that
slowly built the winds until the eye wall hit, then total calm.
I went outside to check on things and tried to make a cell phone call
home to my wife in MA. Then, crap started falling out of the sky ...
bits of wood, branches and stuff. They the backside hit, harder than
the front. Backside lasted about 2 hours.

Now Hillary is changing her story ... just a little ... again, in
that
famous Clintonesque way.

This weekend, she modified her statement about sending or receiving
classified emails on her private server by saying, "I did not email
anything that was classified at the time." The "that was
classified
at the time" is new. Before this weekend she claimed she never
sent
any classified emails period.

Meanwhile, there is growing evidence, including from the NSA that
indeed, some of the emails contained information that was definitely
classified. Concern exists that classified information was
subject to
being compromised.

She violated government policy and rules. She denies it, yet now
alludes to the fact that some of the emails "may have become
classified".

When it was requested that the server's emails be turned over for
inspection, she first refused, then selectively offered the emails
she
was willing to release and "destroyed" the rest.

Trustworthy? What a joke.


She killed Vince Foster too. Got away with it.
While she was running drugs from South America.
There's no limit to her evil doings.



I think the never-ending criticism of Mrs. Clinton is little more than
desperation on the part of Republicans. That party has an incredible
collection of loudmouths, losers, racists, morons, religious nutcases,
ethnic haters, woman haters, civil rights haters, and whoever gets
that
party's nomination is going to be carrying more baggage than AMTRAK..
Individually, none of them has been getting the attention so richly
deserved.

Sure seems that way. I remember back in the '90's Limbaugh going after
her viciously. First time I realized that insanity had gone
mainstream.
Turned Limbaugh off my radio forever.
They'd have to get something solid on her before I'd believe it,
because
they've told so many outright lies about her she's been immunized in my
eyes. I get a kick out of Luddite's "outrage" at her caginess.
She's a politician, for crying out loud. They all lie.





I get a kick out of you giving Hillary's lies and deceitfulness a pass
"because she's a politician".



Is Jeb still lying about Hillary in order to score points with the
religious nutcases that underpin the GOP?


Beats me. I don't follow everything they all say. I see what's in the
news though.

I also don't subscribe or read right-wing or liberal-progressive blogs.
I don't listen to shows like "The Young Turks" either. Obviously,
you do.



Obviously, you are wrong. Once in a while something from the "Turks"
shows up on other sites I read. Don't fall into the right-wing trap here
of jumping to conclusions about information not in play.

No, you fall to the left-wing trap here of jumping to conclusions about information not in play.
