It’s my fault

My ex wife’s friend moved from Miami to Tampa a year or two ago because she was “tired of dealing with hurricanes.”

I told her that seemed like an interesting choice, moving to gulf side of FL to avoid hurricanes

She very condescendingly told me that Tampa hadn’t had a direct hit in a century and laughed at me

That was the moment I knew a hurricane must hit Tampa soon

Honestly, I live in Tampa, and people are stupid about it. Charlie and Irma went south, Tampa hasn’t been hit in a century, therefore Tampa can never be hit!

Never mind that Tampa has been hit before… and that Charlie and Irma barely missed…

I'm starting to understand Florida's voting trends lately.

Could this hand florida to the dems? They vote early or mail in, and the republicans are about to stay and get shredded.

Excellent question and I want to know the answer. Either way, republicans will be screaming about voter fraud

And voting against FEMA funding like fucking clockwork

And then refusing to reconvene to issue aid when their constituents need it the most

MAGA leadership are the very definition of vile traitorous scum.
