What does it mean when someone is pretending to be me?

If you look back in history, you will see that storms usually hit in the same general area and follow the same general path. So the plans to respond, assemble, stage and deploy were all built around history.

Everyone says the pet population is out of control. Everyone says you MUST spay or neuter your pets. No one wants to talk about how its almost $1,000 to spay or neuter a pet. Why is it so expensive if its so necessary? Animal shelters do it for free.

If you see your representative or Senator on this list and you are subject to Helene or Milton, know that they don’t give a crap about you. They care more about their power and subservience to their Most Exalted Grand PooBah and identifying and destroying people and things that are “woke” than they are to their fellow Americans that have been laid low by a storm that had never happened before. That $20 billion could have been put to use in projecting and gaming the response and, among the weather games would be what to do if another devastating storm follows right on its tails.

I lived in NC for over 25 years. In all my time there, I saw more than my share of storms. The vast majority of them came up from the south and either skirted along the coast or bent inland and then run into the northern states. By the time they got to central NC, the storms were mostly petered out or, the swung back out to sea. In the past, Helene would have tracked like the black arrow I have crudely drew

Representative Chip Roy of Texas

Representative Mike Collins of Georgia

Helene did something unexpected: It ran right up the Blue Ridge Parkway (green arrow) and hammered towns that had never seen anything like this before.

Senator Mike Crapo of Idaho

Now, with Helene cut into a new area and at the same time severed the 2 major highway (Yellow Circle) capable of handling all the trucks and traffic:

SO you are now the Disaster God. You know a storm is coming so you activate your assets and move them to their staging areas. You know the storm might change a bit but not as big a shift that has happened.

Which is almost 300 miles farther

Representative Laurel Lee of Florida

Representative William Timmons of South Carolina

Representative Victoria Spartz of Indiana

I know it doesn’t seem like a big distance but when you see power truck convoys a mile or so long, followed with the necessary support equipment and personnel, you realize this is something heavily planned.

Representative Tim Burchett of Tennessee

Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina

Representative Tom McClintock of California

The rest of the landscape in not exactly conducive to move a lot of heavy traffic.

While we really can’t do anything to stop or redirect storms (despite what Marjorie Taylor Greene spews), we can hold accountable the members of Congress who put their agenda ahead of the physical safety of their fellow Americans.

Representative Brad Finstad of Minnesota

Representative Trent Kelly of Mississippi

To get from TN into NC (or vice versa) you are forced onto the yellow route

Part of the problem you point out to the agitator is the recent battle in Congress that threatened to derail the necessary $20 billion FEMA funding. This funding should’ve been resolved months ago in preparation of the new fiscal year. But rather than do that, these politicians (if I could make my written words to drip with more sarcasm I would do it) decided that because FEMA would be wiped out under Project 2025. While the bill eventually passed, the following people voted against the bill:

Representative Andy Biggs of Arizona

Representative Lance Gooden of Texas

Representative Michael Cloud of Texas

Representative Morgan Lutrell of Texas

You now need to figure out how you are going to turn them around, ship them a couple hundred miles and hope that you can find and secure the necessary staging grounds. The contacts they used to have built up over 4, 5, 6, 10 storm seasons are no longer useful so they need to find new ones.
