Greets and saluts from the NYC metro area. TS Hermoine is still churning off the VA coast, throwing wind and waves all the way up the Eastern Seaboard, with NYC metro expected to see effects over the next 3-4 days. It’ll mostly be a coastal flooding event, as rain up this way being minimal while wind and storm surge/high tides contributing to beach erosion and coastal issues.

IOW, it’ll be a surfer’s paradise, if you’re going to even consider going into the maelstrom.

Meanwhile, Donny Trump’s bigot brigade continues to get vetted and found wanting. His black outreach dude, Pastor Burns, turns out to have lied about his background - not only did he lie about his college degree, but about his military service. Shocking, I know.

Trump surrounds himself with the best people. Liars, bigots, charlatans. You know, people who are just like him.
