it's due to come in as a tropical depression

We have no money left...fix our climate

Fake news.

It’s Trump’s fault. Somebody on Saturday on a rooftop will say they never were warned 4 days out

God is trying to tell us something, folks! So far they have just been tremendous weather, fires, & floods! Blood is just around the corner! Lyndon B Johnson didn’t away with anything! Neither did Jay Edgar Hoover! Grab freedom as hard as you can because once it’s gone it’s gone!

I’m sure though that’s it’s not due to climate change and global warming? jackholePOTUS

I would imagine Democrats are cheering on the storm and death and destruction. Trumps Katrina. Innocent lives be damned as long as they can slam Trump.

To quote Ben Shapiro... 'If climate change happens, and all the low-lying areas around the coast are underwater, don't you think those people would just sell their house and move?' climatechange environment flooding Aquaman

Not a good combination 😢

Oh my God, Global warming. We're all going to die.

Are the TrumpCamps ready to deal with hurricane season? Is there evacuation plans in place?

Get ready for some AOC nonsense!

Say Goodbye To New Orleans, folks. I always wanted to go to Mardi Gras. I guess I will not make it in time.

Holy crap! hope everyone heeds the warnings

We are gonna get some massive storms this yearbro. We might need to create new categories.

Wow I’m praying for them right now🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Under da sea!

Row vs Wade

Stay safe all!

If this mornings flooding and thunderstorms is just a glimpse of what is to come...wescrewed
