#KARMA is a Bitch! You can Never Cheat Mother #Nature
NC got just what they needed / deserved.
“Revenge is a dish best served cold.”
You’ll get punished for denying science.
Did NC forget all about that?
They set this up all by themselves when:
North Carolina Literally Passed Laws Against Science on Sea-Level Rises
Six years ago, North Carolina Republicans voted in a law decreeing that the seas weren’t rising

New Law in North Carolina Bans Latest Scientific Predictions of Sea-Level Rise

NOW IT’S TOO LATE FOR THE SCIENCE DENYING POPULATION AND THEIR MONEY GRUBBING CORRUPT POLITICIANS WHO ALLOWED THIS TO HAPPEN.
IT COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED.
1200 roads are closed in N.C.
‘There is no access to Wilmington’ as Florence flooding overwhelms North Carolina” The winds have died down from #Florence, but the flooding is just beginning. Dams are breaking, whole cities have become islands, bridges are washed out, and roads are impassable.
It was the Gerrymandered Rep legislature that outlawed science but in any case, most of these people were already here. Many of them were historic homes. Many were the homes of very poor people.

And the worst is yet to come.
Waste from hog manure pits, coal ash dumps and other industrial sites wash into homes and threaten drinking water supplies. The state’s coal ponds are overflowing, coal sludge is poisoning the waters, killing aquatic life.
Example This already happened years ago:
Dead pigs down a flooded road on Rabon Maready’s farm near Beulaville, N.C. The hogs drowned from the floodwaters of the NE Cape Fear River after heavy rains from Hurricane Floyd flooded the area. ALAN MARLER / AP The bloated carcasses of hundreds of thousands of hogs, chickens and other drowned livestock bobbed in a nose-stinging soup of fecal matter, pesticides, fertilizer and gasoline so toxic that fish flopped helplessly on the surface to escape it. Rescue workers smeared Vick’s Vapo-Rub under their noses to try to numb their senses against the stench. Florence is forecast to make landfall in the same region as a much stronger storm.
WHY SOUTH CAROLINA ABANDONED PRISONERS DURING HURRICANE FLORENCE
The dangers of trapping people in a building from which they can’t escape, in the path of a major storm, are glaringly obvious: flooding, toxic mold, lost electricity, disrupted access to food, clean water, sanitation, and medical care in facilities that can barely provide them on a sunny day. And the idea that prisoners will be safer, when, at the same time, officials demand everyone else must leave, is a clear statement about the value of incarcerated lives.

Do the rats die in Hurricane #Florence?
The short answer is: some rats will drown, some will survive.
