Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands and the Dominican Republic can’t catch a break. And they know they’ll get no real support from Dotard/GOP if needed. Even though Dotard is playing General ordering a state of emergency with Governor Vázquez (how long will she last I wonder? 3rd Governor in 5 day’s! Vázquez has stated she is not interested in being Governor). Vázquez also has a history of talking about, but not actually supporting or doing much of anything about, Womens issues in PR, even though that was her job. She has clashed with several women’s groups in PR. And she’s blonde (peroxide, or whatever women use these days,and looks somewhat like SHS), so Dotard may well support her to some degree.🤷🏾♂️🙄
Looks like Dorian will hit the Bahamas and Florida eventually, Erin too. I hope you’re not in their paths.🙄😔
I’m well away from this weather on the northern coast of the Gulf, but even a tropical storm spell misery for Puerto Rico as a lot of people are still in temporary housing. Trump and his government haven’t helped anyone with anything. He treats everyone like they are tenants in his slum housing.
It will be wet and gusty, but not as bad as the September and October storms.
