Irma: gathering the lessons.

Hurricane Irma hit Florida. Like in the case of Hurricane Harvey, there was a lot of hype, a lot of ambulance chasing by Liberals and yes-a lot of rain.
 
1. a. The physical facts. Irma became a cat 5 hurricane and as such it devastated the islands it rolled over.
   b. As Irma went by Cuba, the mountains reduced it to a cat 4 hurricane; still dangerous.
   c. Irma hit the Keys causing much damage, but not the catastrophe spouted by the ambulance chasers who were looking for an excuse to peddle their 'climate change' malarkey.
   d. The hurricane was wider than Florida, so even though the eye travelled Northward on the West side of the state, Miami and the coast got plenty of rain.
   e. Naples got hammered by the wind and rain, but then shortly after the storm center wobbled to the East, so the hurricane missed Tampa but the returning winds emptied Tampa Bay for a short time.
   f. The storm continued to lose strength (as is usual for hurricanes going over land) and while it drenched N Florida, it left the state as a tropical storm.
 
2. The "killer surge" did not materialize. Yes, there was a storm surge as can be expected.
 
3. There was a fair amount of damage as could be expected.
 
4. The ambulance chasing by the Liberals was fierce and silly. The fiercest (and most ridiculous) was the suggestion that the hurricane was "Mother Nature" punishment for electing Donald Trump.
 
 
One may conclude that the unearthly beauty of Jennifer Lawrence is accompanied by an unearthly ignorance and hatred of Trump.
 
In conclusion:
 
1. Liberals ignore that for over 10 years no hurricane had reached the United States.
 
2. Our good luck ran out and 'normal' conditions had returned.
 
3. Hurricane Irma was a strong hurricane, but not out of the norm.
 
4. The people involved performed pretty well. Yes, there were looters.
