Not a single living human left on Barbuda. An island civilization that has existed for 300 years. Extinct. Every single person gone.

Mrgybe says they overhyped this and they shouldn't have evacuated.

Mrgybe is not very smart. DO NOT rely on mrgybe for hurricane advice!

Yeah, I saw that headline also "Not a single living human left on Barbuda", but if that's as far as you read, you'd say WTF!!! But as with most things, you have to read the article to get the true gist of it.

"Barbuda has been left completely devastated by Hurricane Irma. An estimated 95% of Barbuda’s structures are damaged, and the entire island of around 1,800 people has been evacuated."

How many are still without power in South Florida? They clearly should have stayed in place since the hurricane did so little damage.


I keep a solar generator and portable solar panels for such events, along with water purifier and short wave radio.

PS, can you imagine what a nationwide EMP attack which destroyed our power grid for 6-12 months would do?


hope you keep your controller in a faraday cage...

BTW if you are in Hawaii when kim goes hog wild it will not matter, That would be a top target for a nuke direct hit. A higher value target than Guam. LA is probably right there in the top for the mainland.

Not only has Barbuda been devastated for humans, but the entire island has been stripped of vegetation. From space the before and after pictures tell it all. Here are some shots of neighboring islands courtesy of NASA: https://www.theverge.com/2017/9/11/16290782/hurricane-irma-destruction-green-caribbean-islands-turned-brown-nasa

But you have no fear, down in your Baja bunker, but wait, Kim has a complete arsenal of bunker busters ready to go. He traveled the world over shanghaing their souls to work for him, and now they are ready for you, so you may want to dig a little deeper.

It's wonderful to see a high schooler with such a complete grasp of the facts. Well done young lady!

My mother, a devout Catholic, said that it is the example you set that shows people the value of your faith, and how much it informs your life. It is so inspirational to see such an example.

I suppose there should be somebody here to stick up for Dean's very constructive posts. There is only one person here, that I can think of, that has all the proper qualifications for such an endeavor. Of course it's mac.

Hey troll,,, IQ30 low-level thinker with small hands

Just show me which posts that are not in retaliation to your right-wing stalking and trolling and escalation and lies is off base.

Ya you do not like the fact your backing a serial compulsive mentally unstable idiot who has the most lawsuits in the history of mankind, who has more so many females claiming he sexually assaulted them, he has a lawsuit that was filed with 3 sworn affidavits that he raped and threatened a 13-year-old girl at his good friends home, a serial convicted child pedophile. Alleged to have raped over 60 children....

So tell me in the threads when I put in something that is not accurate with a link showing my position and or link is wrong. You just can not do it. again you support a pussy grabber in chief racist idiot.

I can not wait to the day when the dems get enough elected officials to impeach him for so many impeachable serious offenses. Not ones like getting a BJ between consenting adults in the White House.
