So what will happen if Alligator Alcatraz gets a direct hit

[Norbert]

From a hurricane and hundreds of detainees die. How will this be explained, or will they categorize it such as a sub-human death toll. The US is sinking deeper and deeper.

1. Trump devised a clever and cheap way to kill people, let Mother Nature do it.

2. I woke up wondering the same thing.

Decided they would say they "escaped."

3. "They'll get over it. They're all gonna die. Anyway. Smirk." - KGOP, inc.

[no_hypocrisy]

4. It will be said that they died of "natural causes".

After all, aren't hurricanes labeled as "Acts of God"?

5. Here's what happened in 1928

This hurricane went through West Palm Beach before killing 2,500 people forty miles inland. The concentration camp is about 55 miles south of Lake Okeechobee and 50 miles inland. Please watch the 90 second video.

In the summer of 1928, heavy rainfall raised Lake Okeechobee’s water level three feet above normal. And in the fall, a hurricane smashed the coast of Florida. The impact flooded Lake Okeechobee. This inland flood obliterated 21 miles of the 47-mile earthen and an estimated 2,500 people died in Southern Florida, most of them migrant farm workers.

6. It doesn't even have to be a hurricane...

We get wild storms down here in FL like mini-hurricanes and I believe the state has the highest lightening strikes in the country. With all those metal cages? Seems like they built a lightening rod out of tents in the swamp.

10. And the rest of the structures are tents, right?

Heat, wind, rain - with insufficient medical care, food, and water -- death rates will soar.

7. The Rumpers will grin at the photo op

8. The Repugs Have Abandoned Their Symbolic Elephant For An Alligator......

The camp structures were put together in a weeks time. I would say that they aren't too sturdy. A hurricane would wipe them out. The entire camp could be flooded or swept away.

The Everglade Alligators and Snakes would flourish and take out those detainees that didn't die first from the wind and water.

But what about the guards and the workers that serve the camp. They will also die cause there is no way to save them either -- should a hurricane hit.

Such an incident would be a total disaster.

9. "They got what was coming to them"

"If they had just stayed home they'd be alive now, so it's all their fault."

"Hey you Mexicans, you see what you get when you invade Trumperica?"

Something like that.

11. Well just imagine the staff receive the warning a few days before the

hurricane - do you think they are staying?

[mitch96]

14. Nope!!!...nt

[Walleye]

12. And since the cuts to NOAA, they won't be prepared

But if a lot of immigrants die in the storm, Maga butt hurt boys will be celebrating like crazy. And they will tell us this is what they voted for.

[FloridaBlues]

13. I haven't read anywhere how strong this tent structure is against hurricane winds.

Between Desantis and trump what could go wrong? Everything.

[LeftinOH]

15. "hundreds of detainees die" ..that's a potential feature, not an oversight.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

16. This concentration camp is already flooding

[NutmegYankee]

17. They just won't say anything.

Those inside will just disappear. “They’ve been deported” will be the regimes press statement.
