More laws are better than fewer laws
It can certainly be successfully argued that more laws does give you more freedom when you look at it from a group perspective over an individual perspective. When there are no laws, only the strongest have freedom. With lots of laws, freedom is spread among the many. That is why we accept the creation of governments in the first place. To protect the many who are weaker from the few who are stronger. The terms weak and strong don't really do the idea proper justice, but it does advance the proper desired perspective.

36 hours of sustained 76 to 110 MPH winds - rainfall in area will be
over 20 inches - storm will track to west into SC
no mention of Cat 1 2 3 - no mention of uncertainty in forecast - map

Hurricane Florence - Thurs 11AM forecast update
https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_at1+shtml/093018.shtml?cone#contents - looks like Wilmington NC will get 24 hours of 74 to 110 MPH sustained winds - therefore implicitly receiving 130 MPH gusts probably - if your home is rated to withstand 140 MPH winds, then you are golden I guess - unless you get washed away by flooding - which reminds me - everyone needs to have flood insurance and homeowners insurance iirc

https://www.weather.gov/media/ilm/LatestBriefing.pdf - they sorta say they are not sure what will happen when the storm stalls - (it will be a giant rogue spinning top hellbent on tossing sharknados everywhere - my words - not their obviously LOL)
---------------------------
note in general - maximum winds vs maximum sustained winds vs sustained winds vs gusts - I think you will find all 4 of these terms throughout NWS info
my experience is that winds howl pretty constantly - and then every minute or so - they gust faster by 10 or 20 percent
your roof dont care if it is hit by a gust or a sustained wind - I am sure that either wind will ruin your day if it is high enough, and the trajectory and increasing structure damage causes a total roof or building collapse - or you could say - 1 little gust will do ya

trying to figure out how bad conditions will be in Wilmington NC - its not easy to figure out from NWS
Wilmington NWS says this - Major Hurricane Florence is forecast to reach our area Thursday into
Wilmington NWS says this - Major Hurricane Florence is forecast to reach our area Thursday into
Friday. Depending on the exact path the storm takes, significant or even catastrophic impacts from wind and flooding rain are possible. It is critical that you monitor the latest forecasts on this developing weather situation.
Generally they want everyone to monitor NWR and they say little else
- there is no mention of the destruction of buildings
Looking here - https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_at1+shtml/093018.shtml?cone#contents
- the first H on the map is not labeled - I will assume that is 2 PM Thursday - then
it seems that Wilmington will have sustained winds of 74 to 110 MPH from
approx 2 PM Thurs to 2 PM Friday (a 24 hour period)

https://triviumchina.com/data-viz/infographic-chinese-government-structure-2018/?mc_cid=9d9890377b&mc_eid=902fe70bde
keep in mind - the central committee is 5 or 6 guys - they control everything - when 1 guy retires, the remainder picks a new guy - there are NO elections in China
the Congress just rubber stamps everything that the central committee gives them to rubber stamp
note - they are a country of 1.4 Billion and they just relaxed their 1 child rule (but no one can afford to have a 2nd kid)
so if their air pollution does not kill them all - and if they build a few more nuclear power plants - maybe they will be in good shape for the next 20 years - if the masses dont get tired of the Great Firewall of China

2 AM Saturday - Category 1 off NC/SC border as storms dips to south
2 AM Sunday - in eastern SC - tropical storm - winds sustained between 39 and 73 MPH

the storm seems to stall at the SC/NC border area for 24 to 48 hours

hot off the presses - 2 minutes ago - looks like VA and NC will get the worst - not SC
therefore - NC can evacuate to south - maybe MD and DC need to evacuate also - if that storm stalls near DC, the entire city will be underwater - except for the Capitol

is heavy flooding in Roanoke VA
or Richmond VA or Charleston WV
bottom line - the rich wont die - most of the dead will be poor, disabled, and elderly
https://grist.org/article/nort
------------------------------
lets say - everyone in SC needs to head south - everyone in NC needs to head west and northwest
- everyone in VA needs to go N and NE -
something like that - come on FEMA - do it now
- coordinate it - get the word out
cant use highrises as storm shelters if the winds will be high - unknown if they can be used if there

Video from Cincinnati Ohio bank shooting
https://abcnews.go.com/US/cinc
perp had mental history
per police chief's comments - it sounds like the dispatchers did not
tell the cops where the shooter was located
with all of those cameras you would think that the dispatchers would
know within seconds where the perp was located - if the bld command
post was on a direct line to the radio dispatcher - if all of the
elevators were stopped and all of the first floor doors were locked -
then the perp would have absolutely no where to go (unless there were
open stairs to a mezzanine or garage or something) - but even those
types of areas can be secured
