pixelmischief Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 (edited) My family in Ft. Lauderdale reported that the hurricane had been significantly diminished by the time it hit land by them. God bless and keep the Haitian people, but those of us in the U.S. were spared anything like what they got.

God bless and keep the Haitian people, but those of us in the U.S. were spared anything like what they got. What's more sad about the Haitian issue is that when it happened the first time the Clintons set up a fund to help them redevelop and its just been revealed that the Haitians basically never saw a penny, Hillary syphoned it all off both to her own accounts and the Foundation. So not only where they never properly rebuilt its all happened again and left the already ravaged land open to the second beating it got while they pocketed the cash.. Makes me sick to my stomach... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixelmischief Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 It is an ironclad indictment of what this nation has become that we are to choose between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump to hold the office of our Presidency. Neither of them is even capable of perceiving the obligation our country has always held dear to defend and heal the defenseless and endangered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Politics don't work in AtariAge, and I'm not a big Clinton supporter, but this is not as black and white as it seems: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2016/06/13/did-the-clinton-foundation-raise-hundreds-of-millions-of-dollars-for-a-hospital-in-haiti-that-was-never-built/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted October 9, 2016 Author Share Posted October 9, 2016 I seriously don't want a political debate but I think the Clintons missed a trick there but they did engage her own brother in a not so good mining company so there's some double standards there BUT lest we forget the numerous times the Clintons have been investigated and money fined for their creative accounting, and the 6 million / billion that just vanished under her care while in office. Personally, neither of these two candidates should be anywhere near an Oval office 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mclaneinc Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share Posted October 10, 2016 Consider it done...There was never an intention to have a thread about it on any of our parts, was merely a casual few posts. Call it an off topic moment.. Glad every one seems to have ended up ok, lets hope this weather sorts itself out.. Peace...Paul. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 St Augustine, FL - we made it through OK. Three days no power. It passed 47 miles off the coast. Any closer it could have been much worse. Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenjennings Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 (edited) My family in Ft. Lauderdale reported that the hurricane had been significantly diminished by the time it hit land by them. God bless and keep the Haitian people, but those of us in the U.S. were spared anything like what they got. I'm in Davie, about 10 miles west of Ft Lauderdale. It was Cat 4 when it went by us. It didn't land here. A couple of the outer bands did go over western Broward county. We were saved (safe) by not so many miles. A little jog to the west and there would have been a lot more tension. I put up panels and my 12 yr old worked the cordless drill to put the bolts on. We finished 17 doors and windows in about 4 hours. My previous record for Wilma was six hours. There ought to be a girl scout badge for disaster preparedness for her. It will probably take two weeks to get them down.

DavidMil Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Five years ago some weather computers predicted that more hurricanes would turn north because the waters of the Atlantic Ocean had warmed up so much, At least we in the gulf coast knew what to expect from hurricanes. The poor people on the east coast really don't know how to prepare for one any better then we can deal with a snowstorm. My heart goes out to those people; and when all the damage from the storm has been cleaned and everything is repaired get ready for the worst part... Insurance rates (home & auto) are going to double or triple for several years, and NEVER go down again! Even if nothing happened to you!

Mclaneinc Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 So glad is passed if not a little too close to you all, we as yet don't get that sort of weather here but having seen the effects of it the thought is terrifying.. Keep safe Paul,, in the not so warm UK... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
