TT-SEA Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 Anyone else ever heard of a category 5 hurricane? https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/vb5v3d/trump-keeps-saying-hes-never-heard-of-a-category-5-hurricane President Trump seems to be having a hard time remembering any Category 5 hurricane, even though there’ve been quite a few during his presidency. He even seems to forget such things exist — like he did twice in less than 15 seconds, in a FEMA briefing on Saturday, as Hurricane Dorian started to close in on the Bahamas. “I’m not sure that I’ve ever even heard of a Category 5, I knew it existed,” Trump stated, then added moments later: “A Category 5 is something that, I don’t know that I’ve even heard the term other than that I know it’s there.” In September 2017, Trump exclaimed about Hurricane Irma, “I never, never knew a Category 5 existed,” and then about a week later, when Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico, he called it “a Category 5 storm, which literally never happens.” Quote **REPORTED CONDITIONS AND ANOMALIES ARE NOT MEANT TO IMPLY ANYTHING ON A REGIONAL LEVEL UNLESS SPECIFICALLY STATED** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizzard777 Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 It appears that Trump used a map today from 4 days before he made his Alabama mistake... because the track has shifted dramatically when he made the comment about Alabama on Sunday. And then on top of using a map from 4 days earlier than his comment... he also appears to have drawn in a line with a marker on that map to include Alabama. You can't make this stuff up.

Dave Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 Funny story that Bob told me. This happened sometime in the 80's. He and some other relatives own a condo building with a pool. There was a bar across the street and the longest pier in NC. Anyway, a waterspout came ashore and it picked up thousands of empty beer cans that were stored outside of the bar. They completely covered the pool to a depth of about a foot. The bar employees were nice enough to retrieve them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
