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.

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.

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

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.

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 Chip Roy of Texas
Representative Jeff Duncan of South Carolina
Representative Andrew Clyde of Georgia

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.

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.
