Trump will just turn it around with a sharpie.
Rough place to hit, because the damage will impact trucking to the peninsula. Oh well, sucks to be the people who get aid and then block aid for storms in blue states after sandy hits.
Why do they say "could" at this point? The operative word here is "will". Using "could" downplay the severity of this and, even if only slightly, lowers the likelihood that people who are in danger will evacuate. Using "could" is irresponsible at this point.
And nothing of value will be lost.
Let's skip to the part where they demand federal monies to rebuild in the same disaster-prone areas.
Nah. Poor ppl who can't afford to leave the hell hole that is Florida will have their houses destroyed. No matter how rich the area there's always a poorer lower class living nearby to do their dirty work. The rich have lawyers to sue to get their insurance to cover damages or are covered by government flood insurance. The poor will suffer while the rich get richer and rebuild even though they built their mansions of flood plains. I lived in coastal Carolina. I've seen it a million times
Sweep them into the ocean and throw their lawyers in with them for good measure.
