Trumps beachfront Mar-a-Lago Club ordered to evacuate as Hurricane Irma approaches

President Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club — which Trump has christened the “Winter White House” — was ordered to evacuate on Friday, along with the rest of ritzy Palm Beach island, as Hurricane Irma's powerful winds and storm surge approached the Florida coast.

The evacuation order went in place at 10 a.m. Friday, part of a series of orders that will require 155,000 people to leave their homes in Palm Beach County alone.

[Irma closes in on Florida, posing dire threat]

The Palm Beach County evacuations cover low-lying areas along Lake Okeechobee, as well as a long swath of neighborhoods along the Intracoastal Waterway and the barrier islands off Florida's east coast. On those barrier islands, some of the country's most expensive real estate sits on a narrow spit of land, with sometimes just a few hundred feet of terra firma separating the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway.

Another sister has a mansion directly on the beachfront on a narrow spit of land....karma comes calling in the form of wind, water and great fury it seems.

Wonder why all the evangelicals are so quiet about the wrath of God obviously descending upon Trump??

the republican lies about climate change have been dangerous for a long time, thwarting and diverting people and companies from taking smart actions for decades.

Right now all republicans are madly trying to change the subject, saying Americans who want to talk now about climate change are being disrespectful of people in the face of the storm. What utter evil bullshit that is. It's damn way past time to talk HONESTLY about it.

If republicans can't be honest and choose to cling to their gross lies, then the very least they could do for America is to STFU.
