Y’all, do not worry about Florence. Pat Robertson fixed it.
He tossed a Shield of Protection – a term I suspect he trademarked – around the east coast. I know a hurricane has an eye but apparently it has an ear, too, and takes commands from Pat Robertson.
“In the name of Jesus, you Hurricane Florence, we speak to you in the name of Jesus, and we command the storm to cease its forward motion and go harmlessly into the Atlantic. Go up north away from land and veer off in the name of Jesus. We declare in the name of the lord that you shall go no farther, you shall do no damage in this area.”
And the hurricane responded, “yes’um.”
Pat assures us that it’s worked against other hurricanes in the past. He says —
“It’s almost hilarious to see them try,” he said. “They try to get in and they can’t, and then they go north and they turn around, try to come back in. They can’t do it.”
Well, you can’t argue with success.
Thanks to Carl for the heads up.
