… BUT “HISTORIC FLOODING” COULD STILL BE HEADED TO SOUTH CAROLINA
If you look at the latest forecast track for category four monster Hurricane Joaquin, you’d be tempted to breath a sigh of relief. The storm is now projected to veer well east of the United States, and is considered highly unlikely to make a landfall on the East Coast.
Good news? Absolutely. A category four storm making a direct hit on the East Coast would have been catastrophic.
But just because Joaquin is staying offshore doesn’t mean the storm isn’t going to have an impact.
“Massive amounts of moisture are coming,” Sean Breslin of The Weather Channel warned.
“We’re looking at historic flooding in coastal South Carolina,” said CNN meteorologist Rachel Aissen.
That warning prompted S.C. governor Nikki Haley to issue a state of emergency in the Palmetto State in anticipation of a deluge of up to fifteen inches.
Flooding has already claimed the life of one South Carolinian – 56-year-old Silvia Arteaga of Spartanburg, S.C. Arteaga died when several cars were completely submerged by flood waters underneath a train bridge.
Charleston, S.C. – which is prone to flooding as it is – is expected to bear the worst of the waterworks, although severe flooding is likely in the state capital of Columbia, S.C., too. The Palmetto State is not alone, either, as flood warnings have been issued up and down the Eastern Seaboard – from Florida all the way to Connecticut.

That headline sounds like a conversation between Pogo and Tango.
Those two are dumb enough to drown in an inch of water.
FITSNews will find ANYTHING to Divert attention from that fact that one of his, a Black Democrat male, singled out Christians, to kill them.
You bathed in hate -24/7 and wall-to-wall- about Dylann Roof because he had a Confederate flag on his car…but you cannot even admit that this Black-Man is a White, Christian-hater, just like you…
Good morning GrandTango.
Where? The only one I know of is that Ben Carson wannabe kid out in Oregon, but he’s self described as a Conservative Republican. Now you’re saying Conservative Republicans hate Christians? Man that twisted. You get that off WeaselZipper.com?
Republicans do hate Christians. Fox News was too busy trying to divide Christians after the Charleston shooting and tried to strike fear into them, but thankfully the Charleston Christians came together after the tragedy. Fox News was pissed.
You can blame the BAD economic news on the hurricane,loser!
The Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow model just downgraded expectations for third quarter growth in the US economy.
In a big way.
On Thursday, the latest update to the Atlanta Fed’s nowcast — which takes in current economic data, and unlike most Wall Street estimates and other forecasts, doesn’t factor in future expected data and potential seasonal adjustments — sees third quarter GDP growth clocking in at 0.9%.

oops! More bad news for the Obama economy!
The U.S. added 142,000 new jobs in September, a disappointing figure that fell well below expectations. The Federal Reserve will be closely scrutinizing the unexpected drop off in hiring as it mulls the first rate hike in nearly a decade.
The headline unemployment rate held steady 5.1%, according to figures released by the U.S. Labor Department, but the labor force participation rate fell slightly to 62.4% from the prior month, another ominous sign that usually suggests discouraged job seekers are no longer even looking for work.
Economists had forecast 203,000 new jobs and that the unemployment rate would remain at 5.1%.
Even worse, wages fell slightly from August to $25.09 per hour in September, down 1 cent. Wages rose 9 cents per hour in August, suggesting an upward trend. Apparently that was temporary. Wage growth has been cited as perhaps the key indicator being watched by the Fed for signs of sustained vitality in the U.S. economy. They didn’t get it in September.

Hey idiot !
Praise God that our Governor Haley had the good sense to take down that disgusting racist flag. Good for her.
Time to panic buy french toast ingredients!!!
Don’t forget the milk and wonder bread, but it all up! Disaster is coming and where would we be without milk?
Never understood the whole bread and milk thing. That would be the two last things I wanted if I were stranded inside for a period of several days. Beer and pizza would the far more preferable duo for just about anybody. I rarely drink or eat pizza, but if I’m gonna be inside for more than 24 hours then that’s what I want.
Milk and bread are two of the main ingredients in french toast. Add eggs and you’re basically done.
Lake Murray is toast. The wide open flood gates will not handle the volume. In fact, we could have a failure of the dam at Lake Murray. If we do get 10 inches of rain, SC’s dam and reservoir system will completely fail. Hope you all see that.
