    Remembering 9/11.
    When the order is given by Firefighters to " Evacuate "
    it means business.
    On a crystal clear morning in downtown New York city it
    was business as normal ... UNTIL.From out of nowhere like a
    gigantic bird from the sky that quickly was recognized as a passenger
    jet,the worst happened.It was actually surreal.As surresl as it gets On Earth.
    More so than a natural disaster like a gigantic flood or Hurricane or Tornado.
    Because americans have seen those type disasters before.Every year in fact.
    Not good,of course.But understandable to a point.What happened on that
    clear morning In September of 2001 was shocking in it's display.Like a really
    bad 50's Sci-Fi movie where either a gigantic King Kong or Godzilla was
    having their way.Causing as much havoc and devastation as earthly possible.
    About the only thing worse than 9/11 would be Hiroshima.Then Nagasaki.
    Also on a morning just a couple hrs. later and a month earlier { August 9th }
    in 1945.Much more devastating and taking only a few seconds to eliminate
    35,ooo of it's population.That was the effect of The " Fat Man " atomic bomb.
    The " Little Boy " bomb was days earlier { August 6 } of 1945 on Hiroshima.
    Nagasaki has since rebuilt it's city and nearly doubled it's population from
    that historically uncalled for day { August 9th,1945 } The Last Atomic
    Bomb ever used.The Last Nuclear attack on a city,since.
    Mankind is not capable of Evacuating planet Earth.At least,just yet.
    In the event of another or more powerful displays of Nuclear bomb attacks.
    Therefore the need to Make Peace ... Not War.
    Mankind is somewhat prone to forgetting history.
    Bravery is not enough.Fate may take over.

    " Fate often saves an undoomed warrior when
    his courage endures. " -- Beowulf

    It seems that Florence is definitely weakening.However there is still
    the reality of it stalling in the wrong area and mass flooding.
    Plus sewage problems like Sandy.Flooding is the main threat as with
    Sandy { $ 70 Billion in property damage } and took years to rebuild.
    Sandy started out as Cat 3 when over Cuba.Kinda like this Florence.
    Storm surge is another key factor.

    During a Hurricane you have what The National Weather center
    considers Atlantic Standard Time.That is when they report { 4 times in 24 hrs.}
    the latest updates on any given Hurricane.
    It is at 6 hour intervals.11 am then 5 pm then 11 pm and so forth.
    Plus in the aftermath of a hurricane it is First Responders from the
    local community who have the obligation first to find a remedy.
    NOT FEMA.The Local community then the State government.
    So Sewers are handled by the local water company and sewer dept.
    Fire Departments in the same fashion.Power outrages and the fixing
    of lines and poles is a group effort with neighboring states joining-in
    to help out.
    So don't buy this Malarkey that Trump is responsible.You are gonna
    hear a lot of that.Just like the way they { Democrat scum } constantly
    attacked Bush 43 and made sure Ray Nagin was given a huge pass.
    Nagin was the one who truly hurt the city of New Orleans.
    It took years for the actual facts concerning the malfeasance of
    Ray Nagin as Mayor of New Orleans to come to light.
    Nagin has been sitting in Federal Prison since he was convicted
    of Fraud,Bribery and Money Laundering before and after Katrina.
    Convicted of 20 out of 21 charges.
