but think of the businesses and whats at stake for them. They still have to pay wages while closed,rent,etc. They're just doing what has to be done.


This is precisely why you carry loss of income insurance.

That being said, I agree with you, it shouldn't be illegal. However, as a consumer, I'd try to remember companies that took advantage of folks in a time of need when it came time for me to fill up again after the storm.

If they still have food and booze I'd be happy. Extended vacation.

We're not even in Gustav territory or some of the terrorist attacks in the past IIRC.

Hurricane Gods:

How come dry air sucked in from Mexico and south Texas is not squelching this thing? It seems like those tropical waves off the coast of Africa are always getting ripped apart when they suck in that dry Saharan air. How come the dry air west of this thing is not weakening it?

Will you stop already! There are more important things to discuss, like hateful Christopher Columbus statues in New York.

156 hour Euro has 60" maximum rain accumulation.

Five feet of rain. 9.2" of rain for 6.5 days straight. Holy. shite.

The eye wall for Harvey is a little ragged on radar, but the pressure continues to drop.
