1. Good, let's hope Limbaugh and Coulter both try it.

I especially hope this is the case after Limbaugh's ridiculous announcement that hurricane warnings are "fake news."

Oh, he'll survive, fat floats. Not so sure about Annie.

2. Why Limbaugh and Coulter? They aren't mentioned in the article.

[Warpy]

4. Because they both live there.

3. Well said!

5. The implications of this for now and in future emergencies are horrendous.

You KNOW there will be people mobbing any gas stations 2 minutes after that announcement.
And airports.

and the poor will be stuck to face the storm.
and people in Georgia will now rush to get gas, as well as other states.

And a few thousand have been listening to Limbaugh and Alex Jones yelling the storm is not really that bad, the Gov't is lying.

I just want to shriek.

8. US often equals United Stupidity for some. I just can't believe damn fools like

Limbaugh and Alex Jones, and most that listen to them are damn fools and gullible. Their followers, many, will believe these asses.

6. That's why my brother's staying in his Miami home- "Once you run out of gas, where do you get more?"

As the population drives up the evac routes upstate, a thank of gas will get you to a certain point- will you be able to find gas for the next fill-up?

9. And the breakdowns, and those that run of of gas, and simply the mob going

north and to where. Plus those with guns and all, and potential road rage, fights at gas stations/food and all.

10. Regarding fuel: Here's the GasBuddy availability tracker

You can type in a zip code to either find stations that are open and which ones have gas - or report on open/closed stations and those that have/don't have fuel. MSNBC did say that a large percentage are already out of fuel, despite the governor's efforts.

7. You can bet Limbaugh and Coulter left the minute evacuation was called for

Rush will tell other people it's not real but chances are he's not gonna take a chance
