Fear is what galvanizes the public into submission.
Fear global warming, Fear climate change. Fear crime, fear natural disasters. Fear globalization. Fear conservatism. Fear QAnon. Fear spy devices. Fear the spectre of communism. Fear nazism. Fear government.
Fear works. Stores are empty (water, TP, generators, etc) and gas lines are long. Houses are boarded up, schools are closed already.
One problem this time is all the snowbirds are starting to migrate south plus FL first timers. Tampa, for example, can sometimes get thunderstorms that are worse than TS / Cat 1.
Yeah, and they're really good at ramping up the fear. As a coastal dweller I do like to keep an eye on things, but the constant bleating of how the next storm is going to be devastating is getting a bit stale here. Every Nor'Easter is going to blow your house away, every blizzard is the "storm of the Century". They've overdone it.
I live in Polk county Florida and don’t take chances that don’t need to be taken. My house is boarded up so my windows don’t get broken and then my roof sucked off. Better to be safe than sorry dealing with a storm like this. They can’t predict it well outside a day or two.
I’m having a Hurricane party if anyone wants to come ride one out……. Till the lights go out
I’m from South Louisiana and if you live on the gulf coast but have never had a hurricane party, you’re doing it wrong. 🤷🏼♀️😂 I know it’s crazy but I kinda miss the thrill of riding out a hurricane. I don’t miss the “no electricity and no water” part after the hurrican, but I do feel like everyone back home is having fun w/o us whenever they start gearing up for a hurricane. 🤷🏼♀️😬😂😂😂

Fear everything but God.
Brings new meaning to, "We have nothing to fear, but fear itself."

The real fun doesn't start until the lights go out...
