The center of that hurricane cone is centered on Mar-a-Lago

I'm about 15 miles from there, so it's very possible my home will get wiped out if Dorian stays on its current course.

The damn thing is that, even if Mar-a-Lago gets destroyed, it's just one of his many palaces. The rest of us will be screwed for a long time to come. Most of us are as prepared as we can get and there's nothing else to do but wait.

As bad as things look right now, I just hope he doesn't decide to nuke the thing.

Don will empty the treasury if Mar-a-Lago gets hit head on - hope you get some scraps to repair your home.

...if you don’t go to Mar-a-Lago now, it shows everyone you’re a wimp who secretly believes in global warming.

Euro Model is the one that has it coming to Palm Beach but we'll see how that plays out.

Maybe Cat 1 winds at most, or Tropical Storm force winds more likely. Unless it shifts north. Still if your cousin lives directly on the water, I would move out in case of surge.

He doesn't live on the water. His daughter lives there too but is next to the Tomoka River, so she's probaly at risk.

Like if you predict a recession you are really trying to make it happen.

I hope for nothing short of a dissolution of the storm well below tropical storm level way before it gets to you.

Be safe!

submit tax info? If so, will the administrators of FEMA require this info from Trump if Mar-a-Lago is damaged, and if so, will they make it public?
