<\/p>\nRUSH: Look, I don\u2019t know about you guys. That was the biggest dud of a storm I have ever — I\u2019m not kidding here and I\u2019m not even gonna go into the political nature of what I think happened here. It was the biggest dud of a storm I have ever seen. Now, I know it\u2019s not a dud now, do not misunderstand me. But they had all of us here in South Florida thinking like they always do, that we were on the verge of a catastrophic disaster. So we made the preparations. We got ready for a catastrophe.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Folks, I can\u2019t describe to you how big a miss this was. We\u2019re watching this storm come up from, well, the Dominican, and it comes up through the Bahamas, and I\u2019m looking the whole time — don\u2019t worry, I\u2019m not gonna spent a lot of time on this \u2019cause there\u2019s a lot of stuff to get to.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The whole time I\u2019m not seeing any rain. I\u2019m looking at the radar. I\u2019m not seeing any rain where they say the center of the circulation is. And I figure, well, we\u2019re not seeing any rain because the weather apps we have do not have permission to run foreign country radar. So I said I\u2019ll just wait.<\/p>\n
Well, I waited and waited and went to bed Saturday night fully expecting to wake up Sunday morning to all kinds of mayhem, the kind of noise you get with a Category 1 hurricane, which is a lot of noise. It can sound like a 747 at full rev on the tarmac, even a Cat 1. I get up, nothing. I look at the radar. Nothing. The radar is all the way out — it\u2019s 50 miles away. The closest rain\u2019s 50 miles to the west of us.<\/p>\n
I said, “What the hell?” Folks, we didn\u2019t get a drop of rain where we are. We didn\u2019t get any above-average winds at all. And yet all day yesterday and even Saturday night leading into it we kept hearing the catastrophe was on the verge of happening. And I\u2019m thinking, did these people miss where the center of circulation is? ‘Cause, I mean, literally, folks, there was no rain associated with this storm where they told us it was. It was all the way west.<\/p>\n
Now that the storm is nearing the Carolinas and Georgia, now the circulation and rain are meeting up, at least on radar and so forth. I mean, this was — A, the winds were never — you know, the strongest winds were 45 miles an hour. There wasn\u2019t any 69 or 70-mile-an-hour winds in this thing. Maybe they were at altitude, but they weren\u2019t on the surface. I looked. I measured. I looked at every app I could find because, you know, the wind speed is a crucial thing when you\u2019re preparing for these storms.<\/p>\n
I realize a lot of you don\u2019t care about this because you don\u2019t live where hurricanes hit. I know. Before I lived here I didn\u2019t care either. And in fact I\u2019ll tell you this. After a hurricane passes by here I don\u2019t care anymore. So I know I have to find a way to relate it to all of you. Even though 99% of you are never gonna live — well, 90% will never experience a hurricane, at least where you live.<\/p>\n
You cannot escape that there has been a politicization of everything. And the politicization of weather is about climate change. And one of the aspects of climate change is more and more violent hurricanes attacking and hitting the United States.<\/p>\n

You know, I never watch local news anymore. Don\u2019t know why. I just don\u2019t. But I did for the purposes of study. And they\u2019re reporting something that\u2019s not happening. They\u2019re talking about the surge. They\u2019re talking about the high winds. Here! They\u2019re talking about the rain. There was nothing going on here!<\/p>\n
Everybody that I talked to about this stuff, “Can you ever remember a bigger dud than this?” (interruption) Oh, no, no, no. Don\u2019t misunderstand. I\u2019m not saying I was disappointed. I\u2019m talking about dud as a forecast. Dud not just as a forecast, but as reporting on the current status of a storm. I\u2019ve never seen anything like this in my entire life. And it has been a long life, it has been a very involved life, been a very deep life, very productive life.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve just never seen this before. I kept waiting. Sunday morning, something\u2019s gotta happen here based on this forecast, and nothing. I put the shutters up for nothing. I lived all day long in a freaking dark room for the most part, for nothing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
