        <p>Irma&#39;s slamming Florida. Jose&#39;s roiling the Atlantic. Houston&#39;s barely started drying out from Harvey. And Hurricane Donald is still wreaking its Category-5 havoc everywhere.</p>
<p>The eye is centered in Washington, but the deadly squalls now extend from coast to coast.</p>
<p>It has been eerie watching the windblown TV correspondents delivering the rain-soaked standups from the battered Gulf Coast. The looks on their faces are no different from the wide-eyed shock displayed by their high-and-dry colleagues reporting from the White House briefing room.</p>
<p>&quot;Worst on record,&quot; they keep warning the helpless viewers. &quot;No one is safe.&quot;</p><div class="article-related-post"><div class='more-post-heading'><span class='more-without-arrow'><span class='subhead-title'>Related</span><span class='subhead-title-opt'>Articles</span></span></div><div class='row'><div class='col-sm-18'><div class='single-related-post clearfix'><div class='related-push-img'><a href="/local/a-hurricane-a-tornado-new-york-s-year-of-severe-weather-means-climate-change-is-here-says-bloomberg/tmWkis---66QfnyAop6t0w"><img typeof="foaf:Image" class="img-responsive" src="https://www.metro.us/sites/default/files/styles/related_article/public/default_images/fallback-image.png" width="80" height="80" alt="" /></a></div><div class='related-push-title'><a href="/local/a-hurricane-a-tornado-new-york-s-year-of-severe-weather-means-climate-change-is-here-says-bloomberg/tmWkis---66QfnyAop6t0w">A hurricane, a tornado: New York&#039;s year of severe weather means climat...</a><strong>09/19/11</strong></div></div></div><div class='col-sm-18'><div class='single-related-post clearfix'><div class='related-push-img'><a href="/news/local-news/new-york/as-harvey-hits-texas-new-york-springs-into-action-with-response-crew"><img typeof="foaf:Image" class="img-responsive" src="https://www.metro.us/sites/default/files/styles/related_article/public/main/articles/fdny_harvey_response_0.jpg" width="80" height="80" alt="" /></a></div><div class='related-push-title'><a href="/news/local-news/new-york/as-harvey-hits-texas-new-york-springs-into-action-with-response-crew">As Harvey hits Texas, New York springs into action with response crew

<p>The destructive potential of all these storms is so enormous, how can anyone turn away?</p>
<p>No one can say for certain why we are getting these 500- and 1,000-year storms in Washington and the Gulf. Is it climate change? Wetlands reduction? Russian hacking? The Electoral College? Depends which storm we&#39;re discussing.</p>
<p>No doubt they all play a role.</p>
<p>By now, Rush Limbaugh&#39;s the only one still calling this &quot;fake news,&quot; and he just scampered out of Palm Beach for bunkers unknown.</p>
<p>Regular Americans respond to national tragedies with dignity and resolve.</p>
<p>They roll up their sleeves and start pulling moldy drywall out of their living rooms while resisting the latest threats swirling out of Washington: Kill DACA! Repeal Obamacare! Out-dare Kim Jong-Un!</p>
<p>It took us a while to clean up after Katrina. Why wouldn&#39;t it take us a while to clean up from Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, Jose and Donald?</p>
