Hurricane Season 2017

It keeps things organized .. I could change the title but Ill leave up to request only.

 

Oh, it wasn't a critique or request about thread titles and organization.

More of an observation on the number of strong hurricanes this year.

 

We still talking about Irma and Harvey?


Old news

We've since had Hurricane Maria, a big earthquake in Mexico, and next month the caldera under Naples is set to collapse

 

open your ears..

 

I messaged Morrow and asked if I could change the name of the thread. Waiting on reply.

 

Change the thread title to "Climate Change is a Myth"

 

If Morrow agrees, I'll change it to Hurricane Season 2017.

 

My sister in law was able to talk to her mom in Puerto Rico today and she is okay, I was glad to hear it

That's nice to hear, Aeri. I've seen too many sensationalized headlines like "Puerto Rico Destroyed!"

Nice to know it isn't that bad.

 

I hate those sensationalized reports, they make it sound like everyone just up and died

But Puerto Rico will probably feel some serious long term ramifications from this. The loss of tourist revenue over the next few months while they rebuild is just going to compound all the existing economic problems. I was reading the other day that a large portion of the youth population has already fled the island for economic reasons and they'll likely lose even more people due to hurricane devastation.

 

There truly is much devastation. If you go to the Facebook page https://m.************/prinforma/ you will see the truth of it.

My daughter in law's father has been spoken to.

Her grandmother has not been accounted for yet.

 

I wasnt working, Id be going there. easy to buy a house and get into rebuilding teams .. electrical, hvac, plumbing, roofing..jobs off the chains on a tropical island.

 

Just planted this little seed in my boyfriend's head, thanks for the suggestion

 

This would be great for Broony!

 

My daughter-n-law's family has had contact with her grandmother!

All of her family members are okay in Puerto Rico!

 

I can only post a link for this video.

It is incredible.

You should watch it.

The sea is ripping through the town.
