Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ mansion experienced the impact of Hurricane Idalia, which made landfall in the state as a Category 3 storm on Wednesday. The storm, continuing inland into Georgia and northern Florida, felled a 100-year-old oak tree that landed on the governor’s mansion in Tallahassee, Fla., Casey DeSantis, Florida First Lady, said on Twitter. The storm is expected to bring considerable flooding and potential tornadoes to coastal northern Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina on its way to the northeast.

I do remember when storms were ravaging New York, Southern preachers explained clearly such that I would understand that when a storm attacks you it’s because you’re gay.

Obviously an investigation is required here.

Then there's the pastor that said the fires and floods were "the gays" fault, and then his home was flooded.

Did OP edit it or is there something wrong with you?

This is showing up blank on Lemmy. The title I see is straightforward with the ending being the website name.

Way to go, Baal. Baal is after all a storm God.

Well what do you know, the prayers did work.

Would have been way better if it crushed his car while pulling in the driveway.

It tried to Greg Abbott him into a custom chair.

The tree didn’t even hit the house. Who cares?
