Senator Deb Fischer of Nebraska

Representative Bob Good of Virginia

I think that being gay is wrong, but I treat gay people respectfully like any other person. Is it homophobic? Or offensive in any kind of way? Aren’t disagreement and discrimination two different things?

Representative Michael Cloud of Texas

Representative Darin LaHood of Illinois

Representative Lauren Boebert of Colorado

What are some cute stories with your crush?

Representative Claudia Tenney of New York

The rest of the landscape in not exactly conducive to move a lot of heavy traffic.

Because of this, state and federal authorities had to figure out how to move the assets from their “normal” staging areas (blue area)

Why am I sweating so much at night even though my room is really cold?

Representative Mike Collins of Georgia

Senator Pete Ricketts of Nebraska

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.

What are LGBT+ people tired of hearing?

Representative Alex Mooney of West Virginia

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.

Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee

Time (physics): Who started counting our current time or is it just "set" by some scientific measure?

Representative Barry Moore of Alabama

Now we have a Cat 5 (Milton) locked on to Southwest Florida.

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia

What does it mean when I have a dream where my friend died? I had this dream last night where one of my friends died in a shootout and I woke up crying.

Representative Debbie Lesko of Arizona

than the blue routes.

To get from TN into NC (or vice versa) you are forced onto the yellow route

Why are conservatives banning liberal books? Why are conservatives so offended by the teaching of racism and other topics?

They are listed above.

Why am I always so tired, no matter how much I sleep?

Representative Matt Gaetz of Florida

Representative Greg Lopez of Colorado

Representative Gary Palmer of Alabama

I am 13 and I am planning to run away. What should I do to succeed?

Representative Andrew Clyde of Georgia

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

Representative Anna Paulina Luna of Florida

My girlfriend told me that she wants to move in with me. I have my own apartment and I like my peace and quiet, but I also love her. We've been together for a year now. What should I do?

Representative Andy Ogles of Tennessee

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.

Representative Gus Bilirakis of Florida

Representative Daniel Webster of Florida

I am sure that someone, who has a political axe to grind, would say “Why didn’t they have extingency plans??? See! See! See! They and their leaders are incompetent and vote for the other guy!!!”.

Senator Eric Schmitt of Missouri

If one them is yours, let them know of your outrage and then, on your ballot, send these unprincipled MAGAts back to their mommy’s basement.

Representative Rudy Yakym of Indiana

to the new staging areas (red area).

Representative Michael Guest of Mississippi

Representative Tom McClintock of California

Senator Roger Marshall of Kansas

Representative Paul Gosar of Arizona

Helene did something unexpected: It ran right up the Blue Ridge Parkway (green arrow) and hammered towns that had never seen anything like this before.

Representative Nancy Mace of South Carolina

Which is almost 300 miles farther

Representative Lance Gooden of Texas

Now, with Helene cut into a new area and at the same time severed the 2 major highway (Yellow Circle) capable of handling all the trucks and traffic:

I know it doesn’t seem like a big distance but when you see power truck convoys a mile or so long, followed with the necessary support equipment and personnel, you realize this is something heavily planned.

Senator Mike Lee of Utah

Representative Warren Davidson of Ohio

Representative Andy Harris of Maryland

Representative David Schweikert of Arizona

Representative Jeff Duncan of South Carolina

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 Aaron Bean of Florida

Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky

Senator James Risch of Idaho

Representative Eric Burlison of Missouri

Representative Troy Balderson of Ohio

Representative John Curtis of Utah

Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina

Senator Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma

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.

Representative Randy Weber of Texas

Representative Ron Estes of Kansas

Representative Max Miller of Ohio

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.
