Go outside Pat and scare that scary hurricane away with a rod and staff.

Go Pat.

Yes, Pat, go to the roof and check the chimney or the satellite dish. Remember, you can’t examine the electric lines unless you have a firm grip on them. Jesus can hear you better from up there. And don’t wear any shoes if there’s lightning.

Let him climb up and point to Jesus to stop the hurricane. Please Pat.

And since trump is "chosen by God, according to so many evangelicals, I think trump should join him.

but will be on one of the private islands he bought with blood diamond money.

'dear departed' given the forecast.

With him

Except that Canute was trying to make a point that Pat Robertson seems to have missed completely. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Canute_and_the_tide

D'oh.

meaning The People Who Didn't Give Him Money.

His kind of thinking is why I HATE the phrase “there but for the grace of God go I.”

To think that if you declare something you want in the name of the Lord, that God will change the course of nature to help you.

And if you don't do that then God won't consider you at all and will let the thing barrel right on through.

God doesn't seem to pay any attention to you unless you either beg him to help or boldly proclaim you demand something in his name.

Just bizarre thinking.

Kind of forgets about you and lets shitty stuff happen. Unless he gets lots of attention, then, if he's "feeling it", you might be spared. Unless you're gay or have brown skin, then, even though he made you that way, your shitouttaluck.

Now that I wrote all that, "God" sounds a lot like Donald Trump.

Say a few magic words, and you’re in like a porchclimber. But if you DON’T say the magic words, you roast in hellfire for eternity.

Because the Christian god says, “You MUST love me, or else.” Doesn’t have the foundation for a healthy give-and-take relationship.

Sure, that'll work, Pat. Notice he's concerned only about the area around his properties, not about the rest of the areas in the hurricane's path.

Keep those dollars coming, suckers!!!

PS I'm sure if this "telling off the hurricane" stunt doesn't work out, it will all be the gays' fault.

Think of the "offerings" that will pour in if the hurricane veers. They do that, y'know.

If it proceeds as predicted, everybody will be too busy with survival and cleanup to poke fun at the old scammer.

If the storm F up Pat and his property, it will be because of the gays.

Hey Pat, while you're at it, would you mind ordering "Global Warming" to stop sending these motherfucking hurricanes in the first place?

God will see fit to flatten Regent University and CBN, and leave the two gay neighborhoods in Norfolk unscathed.

Sinners?

Or was that just flooding and plagues and disease?

I get all my disasters mixed up...

It'll be Obama's....

And Alex Jones has confirmed that!

With our man Obama and our woman Hillary at the helm, not forgetting our go-to funder, George Soros— then, NOTHING gets in the way for too long.

After picking Pat Robertson up in his Cadillac to take his ass out to sea.

Prove you have faith!

Anyone know the probability of a weather shift in this storm? It looks pretty square on to me but there's always the possibility of a direction shift. I think he's betting the long shot.

I know this is terrible but every time I see a hurricane coming in I always hope it hits his little facility head on. My apologies to the innocent people who live there but I have no magical powers that would make my wish come true just because I say so.

People will die or lose everything they have and he's trying to use this event for his own gain. What is it that Michael Avenatti says? Oh, yeah - basta!

VIRGINIA BEACH

City Manager Dave Hansen said Monday that he is preparing to declare an emergency and recommended evacuations for the southernmost coastal parts of the city – mainly Sandbridge and the Back Bay. The biggest concern? Flooding from Hurricane Florence. The Category 4 storm with winds of 130 mph is projected to make landfall on the coast of the Carolinas on Thursday morning. A watch for life-threatening storm surge could come for Southeast Virginia as early as Tuesday morning, according to the National Hurricane Center. There are two main projections for the storm. "In either of the two landfall scenarios, we believe (the Back Bay, Sandbridge and southern watershed) areas will be in a higher risk category than anywhere else in the city," Hansen said.

As a precaution, the city plans to open some shelters – in Kellam High School, Corporate Landing Middle School, the city's Field House at Princess Anne Commons and Old Donation School – on Thursday morning. Additional ones could open Friday and Saturday if conditions worsen. "Please start thinking now about staying or going," said Erin Sutton, director of the city’s Office of Emergency Management. "It's a bright and sunny day, but make your plan today."

It is difficult to decide where residents should go because other parts of Virginia may be hit harder by the hurricane, Hansen said. "I'm a bit hesitant to evacuate citizens out of the city because I'm not so sure the risk elsewhere in the state is not greater than here in Virginia Beach," he said. "Taking out citizens and pushing them that far inland (to central Virginia) – I can't promise you that that's the best choice." That's why the city is preparing to help residents hunker down at several shelters throughout the city.

In a best-case scenario, there will be a maximum capacity of 15,000 in the city shelters. There are nearly 100,000 people living in areas most at-risk for flooding throughout Virginia Beach. "Our citizens are very adept at dealing with the volume of precipitation that we have experienced over the last three years," Hansen said. After Hansen signs an emergency order, the City Council needs to approve it Tuesday, which is required by ordinance. Virginia Beach is still working on increasing the flood capacity of the city's overall drainage system, said Mark Johnson, the public works director. City workers are pumping down some bigger lakes, like Asheville and Sherwood, in the southern part of the city. Public works is also double-checking its pump stations, generators and fuel tanks to ensure that they're ready when the storm hits. Johnson's office will coordinate with the Virginia Department of Transportation on any evacuation plans. The city is still in talks with the state for evacuation plans, officials said.

Those who believe in the power of their prayers to manipulate extreme weather can just stay put.

I'll be interested to read what the excuse is then.

Yeah, the dingus was pulling this same stunt back in the 80s.

SS checks to fund his imaginary shield?

Consider this: Pat uses the Lord's name to push the hurricane away. The hurricane cannot be pushed away. Therefore, Pat is using the Lord's name in vain. He should be stoned to death for this!
