You need glasses, those women are 5 feet tall and the water is NOT UP TO THEIR KNEES
Get a grip, rain will do that, no need for a storm surge.
I know, you're just following Rush's meme on this - science bad, don't believe science.
The storm has come and gone now, I'm sure he'll be on to a new topic for you soon.
.
What's Rush got to do with this?
Well, three things, each based on the fact that I listen to him fairly regularly and I'm quite familiar with his overall positions, individual storylines and tactics:
First, I know how his dittoheads will essentially transfer his opinions, words and tactics to
this message board, often verbatim, often
literally minutes after he has said them, and never quote him. So the whole story on the hurricane fits perfectly with his overall global warming meme which instructs his dittoheads not to believe in any science-based warnings or prediction on weather, and to attack any incorrect predictions, as we see on this thread.
Second, he took shit for things he said about Irma before it hit, and I know how his dittoheads will jump to his defense whenever they feel it's needed. They are especially sensitive to this story, because he has been complaining on-air quite a bit about how his words were distorted. The fact is, yes, his words were distorted to look far worse than they were, and that explains their increased sensitivity. They're committed, and have much to protect.
Third, this is just latest of many threads that tie the above all together. As we know, the climate has become hyper-politicized, so we see regular threads like this that support his ongoing anti-science approach to this issue.
In other words, he says it, I see here, just the way he says it. Bassman is just being obedient, if predictable, and obvious.
All circumstantial evidence, stipulated. But 99% circumstantial evidence is good enough for me to point out.

I studied the transcript and I had not one problem with what Rush said. His key to it all was that Irma was being mega hyped by the media and what ever you do don't panic. And he was completely spot on. And one doesn't have to be anti science to be anti AGW.
The lies that the media put out that Rush was saying that the hurricane was "fake" and "not dangerous" was a flat out lie.
Check out this bullshit Al Roker put out there. Roker really needed to breathe in and out of a paper back for crying out loud. Regarding hurricanes my husband and I have a vested interest in them when they are coming at Florida because of family and Louisiana because of friends.
And an FYI I ended up living where I am today because of a ***** called Hurricane Katrina. We were on our way to Ponchatoula with my foundation sire and dam of our kennel, two others and two cats when Katrina stripped our dreams of Louisiana away from us.
So hurricanes to us are personal.
Seriously though there wasn't anything I could really argue about what HE actually said. Not the interpretations and spin of the global warming activists. The transcript of the show proves me right.
"On
Wednesday's show, Limbaugh shot back at "Al Joker" and at
Washington Post blogger Callum Borchers, who wrote under the fake-news headline “Rush Limbaugh’s Dangerous Suggestion that Hurricane Irma Is Fake News.”
Now, any of you listening to this program 24 hours ago, did I ever say the hurricane wasn’t there? Did I ever say it wasn’t a big storm? Did I ever call it fake news? I didn’t do any of that. I’m convinced Borchers didn’t even listen. He may have read a transcript out of context from a reporting site or whatever. All I did was tell you how the world works....
I did not say anything yesterday that was untrue. Nor did I tell people not to worry, nor did I tell people not to be concerned, nor did I say that the hurricane is fake news, and I didn’t say the Deep State is steering it. They did! The left had people saying that George W. Bush wanted Hurricane Katrina to ravage Louisiana to rid it of Democrats. They do these things. So that’s that."
