Representative Nathaniel Moran of Texas

Representative Trent Kelly of Mississippi

Senator Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma

How do people move on so quickly? I’m still sprung over someone I was dating and he found someone else so fast. I feel hurt because I’m still head over heels over him while he’s out enjoying his life with someone new

Do you think the beginning of movies is often better than the rest of the film? Is this a common opinion or do others share this view?

than the blue routes.

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 Claudia Tenney of New York

Representative Warren Davidson of Ohio

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.

Did another parent ever tell you something about your child that you didn’t know?

Why does my dog keep licking at her privates now? She is 7 years old and has barely started licking there. The vet said she’s fine but she keeps doing that.

Senator Roger Marshall of Kansas

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 Tim Burchett of Tennessee

If our normal body temperature is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, why do we perceive weather in the 90s as "hot?"

Representative Derrick Van Orden of Wisconsin

Representative Michael Cloud of Texas

Senator Mike Crapo of Idaho

As a guy, how do you know you if you are considered attractive?

Representative Russ Fulcher of Idaho

Representative Harriet Hageman of Wyoming

Have you ever had a weird experience immediately following the death of a loved one that made you think there is an afterlife and that the deceased person was communicating with you?

Are today’s baseball pitchers faster than a few years ago, or is it that radar guns have improved and get the pitch speed as it is released rather than as it reaches the plate?

Why do people think Justin Bieber is worse than Joseph Stalin?

Representative Daniel Webster of Florida

Representative Andy Harris of Maryland

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

How do you emotionally react to when others seem to feel sorry for you?

Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky

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 Alex Mooney of West Virginia

Representative Dan Bishop of North Carolina

Representative Mike Collins of Georgia

Senator Pete Ricketts of Nebraska

Representative Victoria Spartz of Indiana

Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee

Representative Matt Gaetz of Florida

Senate

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

Representative Roger Williams of Texas

Representative Troy Balderson of Ohio

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 Andy Ogles of Tennessee

Representative Bruce Westerman of Arkansas

Representative Cory Mills of Florida

Representative Aaron Bean of Florida

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.

Representative Andrew Clyde of Georgia

Representative Michelle Fischbach of Minnesota

Representative Randy Weber of Texas

Representative William Timmons of South Carolina

Senator Bill Hagerty of Tennessee

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.

Senator Eric Schmitt of Missouri

Representative John Rose of Tennessee

Representative Josh Brecheen of Oklahoma

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

They are listed above.

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

Representative Bill Posey of Florida

Representative Russell Fry of South Carolina

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

Representative Scott Perry of Pennsylvania

Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri

Representative Lance Gooden of Texas

Senator Katie Britt of Alabama

Representative Randy Feenstra of Iowa

Representative Beth Van Duyne of Texas

Representative Eric Burlison of Missouri

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.

Representative Darin LaHood of Illinois

Which is almost 300 miles farther

Senator Mike Braun of Indiana

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

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:

Representative Tracey Mann of Kansas

Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin

Representative Rich McCormick of Georgia

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia

Representative Morgan Griffith of Virginia

Representative John Curtis of Utah

Representative Chip Roy of Texas

to the new staging areas (red area).

Representative Ralph Norman of South Carolina

Representative Bob Good of Virginia

Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina

Representative Keith Self of Texas

Representative Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey

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!!!”.

Representative Nancy Mace of South Carolina

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 Kat Cammack of Florida

Representative Andy Biggs of Arizona
