I’m being picky here but aren’t hurricanes now termed as storms? If so, the last storm was named Frances, what happened to the alternate boy/girl named storms up to L for Laura? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Jesus! Haven’t they suffered enough already without that big, fat ballbag visiting them.

While he just fly to southern Hampton as almost 1/3 residents of long island suffered hard from the Hurricane ?

The usa democrats must be shouting again: It's Trump called the storm to America !
