Tonight paying tribute to the heroes of 9/11, 17. Years later and our in-depth, look at the ongoing health, crisis, so, many first responders now, sick doctors. Now say the number of deaths from 9/11, related diseases, could, soon surpass, the number lost, that day, outrage. From Elizabeth, Smart one of her kidnappers, will be set free from prison, five years earlier than expected a surprise. Decision, she calls incomprehensible. An, NBC News exclusive. Russia is the prime suspect for those mysterious attacks, on Americans, in Cuba. And parents. Divided. Over kids getting hit with paddles, as punishment, at school what. Do you think. This. Is NBC, Nightly News with, Lester, Holt. Good. Evening for anyone even thinking, about taking their chances and riding it out along the Carolina coast the, governor of North Carolina is, warning this storm is a monster, it's big its, vicious extremely. Dangerous and it's historic, the, National Hurricane Center using, terms like life-threatening, storm surge at this hour Florence, is a category, 4 in picking up steam as over, a million, and a half people rushed to evacuate, before the coast gets clobbered, states, of emergency now, declared in North and South Carolina, Virginia. Maryland and Washington DC we. Have all of it covered tonight let's get right to Al Roker who has the very latest al Lester, this thing is growing in strength and intensity, and in size right now, 140. Mile per hour winds. 785. Miles from Cape Lookout North, Carolina, by. Friday, afternoon we, expect landfall, so everybody, to, the west and south of Myrtle Beach all the way to Cape Hatteras have, to be on alert because. This storm could, make landfall anywhere. Along, that cone all right now thanks very much we'll ask you to stay close we're back to you in just a moment with the brand-new storm track but we want to get right to Gabe Gutierrez in, South, Carolina, where those mass evacuations. Are underway Gabe, set, the scene for us there. Lester. A hurricane, warning just went, into effect here this popular beach town is now shut down the Carolinas, bracing, for potentially. Their strongest, hurricane, in decades. Tonight, the rush is on to get out from. The Carolinas, to Virginia, more than a million people are desperately. Trying to outrun, hurricane, Florence, how, terrifying system. In. South Carolina, authorities closed, this highway in one direction all lanes now leading West away, from the massive, storm that's, ominously, churning, in the Atlantic, this is the incredible view from NOAA's hurricane, hunter just look as the plane reaches the eye wall the blue sky clearly, visible we, are in a a very, deadly, and important, game of chess with, hurricane.

Farms, In. Myrtle Beach I came, Florence, bring it on there's a rush on sand, Maria Nichols is using, it to protect her home but tonight she's, bolting. To higher ground it's important for us to evacuate we. Don't need to take chances we don't need to put personnel. On the line to come and try and save us we need to go. Still. Not everyone's fleeing Florence, Lorraine, and Mark Taylor decided, not to heed the mandatory evacuation order. Instead. They plan to hunker, down in their retirement community, and check, on their neighbors why. You staying. I've, been through a lot of storms and we feel like that this is our, home a home, now, in the path of the most powerful hurricane, to threaten the southeast, coast in more than 20 years Gabe. Gutierrez NBC. News Myrtle, Beach South Carolina. I'm. Kerry Sanders at Fort Bragg North Carolina where. Today the US Army ordered more than 80 choppers, inland to safety, the flight line here now a FEMA's, staging, area more than 200 semis and more still coming filled, with critical supplies so, you're doing something different we are because we're putting, supplies, in, various, places at an earlier time usually, you wait until after the storm and you chose to do that with this hurricane because because, it is so wide so. Intense. On the Coast residents preparing, but some also skeptical, the government, will be there when they need them it just seems like they're not doing as much than you - a recent, GAO report. Found FEMA was woefully understaffed, during, last year's unprecedented. Hurricane, and fire seasons, with 54%, of employees doing jobs they were not, qualified, for at, the time the storms hit the agency, was stretched thin, responding. To 692. Federal, disasters, there's a lot of lessons that we learn from 2017. And we, are at the ready in Carolina, Beach at Alice 6,000, they're hopeful, FEMA will be there to help so there will always be little, bumps in the road but I'm very confident, that we'll be able to weather the storm also preparing tonight power companies, like Duke Energy, crews, coming from as far away as the Midwest, to help restore power, also at the ready soldiers. At Fort Bragg my, point here is we are ready to respond, should they need it getting, supplies from here to the front line distribution, centers before. The hurricane hits is not, only a first it's a recognition, that Florence, is going to dump a lot of rain and create, floods and the last thing anybody, wants our supplies stuck, here at Fort Bragg and not, where they're needed most Lester, all right Kerry Sanders, thanks and already some of the biggest airlines, are warning of a travel, mess to come the ripple effect from this storm will be felt far and wide our Tom, Costello has, the latest on that Tom lay it out for us. Lester. We're talking about 23. Airports, that could be affected potentially, tens of thousands, of passengers airlines, are already waving the change fees if you, are supposed to fly in or out of the storm zone between the 13th and the 16th, you are advised to change your tickets now don't, wait till the last moment, here are some of the airports most likely, to be affected at least as of this moment Charleston. South Carolina Myrtle. Beach Wilmington. North Carolina. Greenville. North Carolina Charlotte. North Carolina a major hub the second biggest hub for American Airlines if they are affected, if they go out that, will have a major ripple effect across the country also Riley, Durham potentially, vulnerable and then, up in Virginia Norfolk, and also, Richmond.

Airlines, Are already moving or planning to move their flights their planes out of the storm's path they'll, sit out the storm elsewhere, and then fly back into those airports once they're clear luster alright Tom Costello thanks, we want to show you folks the eye of the storm this was captured, by a NOAA, satellite. Alice, back with us right now we look at that and we look at this how how. Big your cross is all that we're talking about 400, miles Lester so and it's intensifying, it's growing right now 785. Miles east southeast Cape feare 140. Mile per hour winds moving west-northwest at 17. If it continues, at that clip at, about a category, three storm coming, onshore, sometime. Late in the afternoon on, Thursday we're. Gonna be watching that very closely and then, into Friday it makes its way in and we are looking by Sunday, it's still just, in the Carolinas, and as, far as the winds are concerned the highest risk from, Cape Hatteras back to Charleston as far as the winds are concerned the storm surge when all the walls of water come in anywhere, from two to 13. Feet put that on top of high tides and you have massive flooding along the shoreline, and the, rainfall, working, its way in through Sunday, look at this isolated, totals of 30 inches could be three and a half feet but we are talking anywhere, from 10 to 20 inches generally. Lester it's gonna bring a lot of misery yes-no Roker thanks very much President Trump in the Oval Office late, today said the federal government, is quote absolutely and, totally prepared, to respond, to Florence but, he also praised, his own much criticized, response, last year to Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico despite. The official death, toll recently. Being raised to nearly 3,000. People that's, almost as many lives lost in the September, 11th, attacks our, Kristen Welker joins, us live from the White House Kristen what's the latest, Lester, good evening tonight President Trump, is insisting, his administration. Is as, ready as anyone. Has ever been, to deal with hurricane Florence, the president, describing, the storm as tremendously. Big and wet and when asked, about lessons, learned from those storms, that devastated, Puerto Rico last year. The. Job that FEMA, and law. Enforcement and. Everybody, did working along with the governor in. Puerto Rico I think was tremendous, I think that Puerto Rico was an incredible.

Unsung. Success. One. Top Democrat calling, those comments, offensive given. That nearly 3,000, people died as a result of Hurricane Maria, mr., Trump started his day in Shanksville Pennsylvania, commemorating. The 17th, anniversary of. The September 11th, attacks greeting. Supporters at the airport, by pumping his fists, the president, has canceled two campaign, rallies, to monitor the storm this week Lester, Kristen, Welker thank you and disturbingly, the horror of 9/11 continues. To claim victims, almost. 1,900, first responders, have died in the years after and now as cancers, from inhaling asbestos and, other, toxins, emerged it's expected, the deaths from 9/11. Related diseases will, soon surpass the number lost on that day NBC's. Anne Thompson has that story for us this. Is what you wore on 9/11. Rob's era is part of the 9/11, story still, unfolding I have to think about it every day just because my body reminds, me just, 21, he spent hours at Ground Zero that day covered, in a witch's brew of toxic, dust now. 38 a husband, and father, Sera's endured multiple sinus. Surgeries, PTSD. And pain so bad he relies on a cane so it's completely like he's aged out of 50 years in the last 10 years and showing, signs of thyroid, cancer do. You feel like you're a ticking time bomb yeah, I. Do I believe it's only a matter of time Sarah. Is one of 72,000. First responders, enrolled in the World Trade Center Health Program, 8,000. Developed, cancer a number dr.. Michael crane says will only grow, are, you at an inflection, point yes ma'am we were at the point where the chronic disease due to the known toxins, like, asbestos will, start to happen so you can see mesothelioma. Yes you could see multiple, myeloma, we could see lung cancer, we could see it all already, the clinic is seen elevated, numbers of prostate, melanoma, and thyroid, cancers, can, you keep that, diagnosis. From becoming, a decimal I think we absolutely can, every, day we're, seeing breaks with luck and personalized medicine which, if not. Curative. Can, give excellent, extensions. Of life but federal funding, for the responders, care who live across the country, is set to expire, in two, years, with, the young family, Robin Kristin Sarah tried to savor every moment but, I have three kids so my my job is just getting, them as much as me as I can and keep, hoping, for a happy ending, Anne, Thompson NBC, News New York, let, us turn now to the protests, erupting, in Dallas over the police officer, who fatally shot a neighbor after allegedly mistaking, his apartment, for hers many. In the community are now demanding answers with, the officer, and the victim's family claiming. Two very different versions of what happened NBC's, Gotti's Schwartz is there with the latest. In. Dallas. More anger overnight over the shooting death of 26, year-old Bothans on in his own apartment. Court. Documents painting, a picture of a confused, police officer amber Geiger coming home to what she thought was her apartment, instead, she, was one floor above her own unit, Geiger, alleges, the door was already slightly, ajar when she pushed her key into the keyhole fully, opening, the door inside. The dark apartment Geiger, said she saw a large silhouette, believing, she had encountered a burglar drew a firearm, gave verbal commands that were ignored and fired, twice hitting Jean, in the chest, but. According to an attorney for the Jean family, that story contradicts, what a neighbor overheard what. Are the witnesses saying happened instead, of her pushing the door open they heard her pounding at the door demanding. To be let in Geiger. Posted a $300,000. Bond ahead of her grand jury hearing where the DA says she'll face charges of manslaughter, and possibly, murder according, to the witness she heard a man call, out oh my god why, did you do that what. Could be his last words now a question, so many here want answered, Gotti, Schwartz NBC, News Dallas now. To an NBC News exclusive, the strongest, indications. Yet of who could be responsible for those mystery, attacks, last year when, 26, US diplomats, and intelligence officials. Were struck ill in Cuba. The prime suspect according, to US officials Russia. NBC. News chief foreign affairs correspondent, Andrea, Mitchell as the story. The. Mystery who are what caused American, officials, living in these Havana homes and several hotels to, suffer headaches, dizziness and some, serious, brain injuries, similar to a concussion last, year Cuban investigators, told us they would never allow their territory, to be used that way but, now Russia is the leading suspect NBC.

News Has learned according, to three US officials, and two, others briefed on the investigation. Evidence. They say backed up by highly, secret communications. Intercepts, collected. During a lengthy and ongoing investigation. Involving. The FBI CIA. And other agencies, US, officials also, tell NBC News, investigators. Now believe the Americans, were deliberately, targeted this, is not an accident and those who who, think this is some sort of rogue operation, I think are operating. In a fantasy world the State Department says it is still investigating we, have not assigned any blame and we continue to look into this why would Russia target, American, officials the leading theory to disrupt, President Obama's opening - then Cuban leader Raul Castro, no. Comment, tonight from the Cubans or the Russians Lester. Andrea Mitchell in Washington, Thanks still have the stunning decision and the Elizabeth, Smart kidnapping. Case of how smart is responding, tonight also. Parents divided, after a school brings back paddling. The new controversy. Over the old school, form of punishment. Back. Now with the surprise news that broke late today about one of the most infamous kidnappings. In modern American, history the, woman who helped abduct, Elizabeth, Smart and hold her captor for nine months back in 2002. Is set, to be released from prison years, earlier, than expected and, as, our national, correspondent Miguel, Almaguer, reports, Elizabeth. Smart is calling it incomprehensible. It's. Real. It's. Real 15. Years ago Elizabeth, smarts father announced his abducted, daughter was finally, coming home now, in a surprise move one. Of her captors, is about to go free, Wanda, bars II who was convicted, of helping her husband Brian Mitchell kidnap. Smart will be released in just eight days I. Despised. Them tonight.

To Megan Kelly last, year, she's, just up for parole so, we'll. See what happens if she gets out then I'll cross that bridge bars, II was sentenced, on state and federal charges, the.

Up corporal, punishment, controversy, why one school is bringing, back peddling. Let. Me pose a question to you one I think a lot of you will be discussing after this story if you got a call from school saying your child misbehaved. And the punishment, involves being struck with a paddle, what, would you say, NBC's. Blake McCoy now in a controversial, form of corporal, punishment making. A comeback. Tonight. A Georgia school asking, parental, consent, for a classic, form of corporal, punishment the. Panel policy, at the Georgia School for innovation, in the classics, states the student will be taken into an office behind closed doors the student will place their hands on their knees or piece of furniture and will be struck on the buttocks, with a paddle, there, was a time where corporal, punishment, was kind of the norm in school and you didn't have the problems that you have shown the position for today's generation a throwback, to a time many have only seen in movies. It. Turns out corporal, punishment, is legal, in nineteen states fourteen, percent of school districts, report using it the Supreme Court says it is, constitutional. This, is the size of the paddle a student would be hit after the third offense, for, parents who do not consent, the alternative.

Punishment, Is up to a week's suspension, with. Roughly 100, forms returned so far at the suburban, Augusta school a third, consent. To the paddling, the, school hopes this paddle, policy, serves, as a deterrent Blake. McCoy NBC, News a lot, for folks to talk about when we come back the 911, family member keeping memories of the fall and allies name, by name inspiring. America, is next. Finally. In our inspiring America, report tonight as our nation comes together to mark the 17th, anniversary of, 9/11, we meet a woman who lost someone close in, the attacks and is now helping keep the memory of the Fallen alive, not just on this day but each, and every day a.

Striking a child is humiliating to them. It causes anger issues, and fear in the child, which blocks learning, and causes other learning difficulties, emotional problems, and destroys trust. Corporal punishment is counter productive to "teaching" them anything, and it's ineffective as a disciplinary measure - period. Psychologists strongly recommend against it, or striking ANY other human, for any reason, especially as a behavioral deterrent! Don't do it, and do not allow it to be used on your child, by any institution, for any reason, not ever! PERIOD.

All of those Nuclear Power plants that are going to take a direct hit and get flooded out !

There is nothing in it's way !....All those buildings on the coast are gonners !!!...If you are an adult, and are going to ride it out, at least get you kids out of there !

911 7 buildings demolished so the real estate could be reused, how to get rid of white elephants AND get paid by insurance? Te te te te terr terrrist...Ka CHING! "Explosions boom, boom, boom"

Fake news

3000 die in Puerto Rico SUCCESSFUL F#÷$ S@!÷bagg

NBC Did you report on the 300,000.00 troops War Game between China and the Sickle and Hammer Nation?

NBC, why didn't you report that the Administration Transferred 10 Million Dollars from FEMA to ICE? See R. Maddow!

Thanks for posting an objective broadcast. A rather heavy newsday.

Paddling and more should be used in schools for disruptive students. It is better than future time in prison. Observances on 911 does not do any good for the nation. It may for those who knew a victim but most of them were not heroes. It all gives power to the people we do not want to have power namely 19 people who were able to make a superpower shake.

19 people? let's see....Bush, Cheney, Silverstien, Rummysfeld, Nutonyahoo, Elliott Abrams, Richard Armitage, Paul Wolfowitz, Robert Zoellick, Lewis (Scooter) Libby, William Kristol, Steve Forbes , John Bolton, Richard Perle (Bilderberg), Prince Bandar Bin Sultan, Prince Turki al-Faisal, Prince al-Waleed bin Talal, Zacarias Moussaoui, Philip D. Zelikow, and many more.

09/11. Look at what JAPAN just went throu.

FDR gave Japan a chance to Surrender or "face a rain of ruin" before the first air raids happened.

Lived in NC for a few years while in the USAF -- I worry about people living along the Neuse River.

The Russians are suspected? Trump will ask the Russians "did you do it", they'll say no and that'll be it. Soon as I heard the statement that sadistically hitting your child was fine I said it's going to be in the south."shur nuff" it was a knuckle-dragging state. Sadists

reversing engineering "ride my monster" in sign language.

The U.S. government did 9/11 to its own people to start a ware over oil, don't be fooled.

There was paddling in school when I was young. I think it's a good thing!

kinky horse

I guess you're completely self unaware that you're sadistic.

america, the only country where the government raises your kids...

These unbelievably ignorant comments seem to have no end. F****** move away a******. Buy a ticket, pack up and go, Anywhere But Here!

please share my message to John... Now John live in Usa... i live in HCM city VN... John was amnesia and forgot his lover... but i will right here waiting for John... forever love John...

Try an objective investigation after 17 years of ignorance . How about the millions they murdered based on the 9/11 lies this man ignored . Anyone knew it was dangerous at the time .He covered up the crime scene which is illegal . No investigation of the building fire of bldg, # 7 as required by law . The rush to war was more important ? free fall collapse / dustification left only two stories of rubble . See " where did the towers go ? " real eyewitnesses .

SUE FOR DAMAGES TO LOWER BACK , SPINE AND TAIL BONE THESE KIDS PUNISHED BY STRIKING THEIR BACKSIDES WIL BE INJURED FOR LIFE AND IT WILL SHOW UP IN THEIR MID AGE ...STRIKING CHILDREN IS FOR IDIOTS

9/11 was an inside job . Cell phones did not work from 35,000 feet altitude . no plane at pentagon or shanksville . see " where did the towers go ? " September 11 the new pearl harbor , and jfk to 9/11 ; everything is a rich man's trick " must see for patriotic duty , then decide with facts aefor9/11truth , pilots for 9/11 truth , firefighters and first responders for 9/11 truth , lawyer's Committee for 9/11 inquiry demanding a federal grand jury now . 9/11 wars with no end in sight based on lies . Hear actual first responders and eye witnesses if you sheeple care after 17 years of ignorance .

I live in north Carolina so wish me the best and others too

Oh honey.. Good luck..I hope you're at least inland a bit... Stay safe ❤️

HILTON in NC : Are they patrolling the beaches? They called for mandatory evacuations Sunday, declared a 'state of emergency' & have brought in the national guard for enforcement! They are not kidding about the seriousness & dangers of this storm. VA, DE, MD, & DC have severe warnings now, too! GET OUT, past the state lines - like to Georgia, they're recommending to be safe! NO JOKE! GET OUT - BE SAFE!

If you want to ride it out, I suggest riding it out in Denver. Don't take any chances , stay safe.

Be as safe as you possibly can. GOOD LUCK!

Stay safe !!! Prayers for your fam and everyone else❤️

Tyler Hilton good luck and stay safe!

The white roses on birthdays is so sacred

For victims of 9-11 First Responders, please view the Youtube TedMed Talk by Paul Stamets. Mycelium has been shown to boost the immune system.

Thousands of people died in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria....please explain how that's an 'unsung success.'

Friend to Animal's The Dems have no issues, no decent candidates that care about them to root for. Its why they hate and just resort to cheap shots like the tired old race card. One of the reasons so many blacks #Walking Away from Democrats to the Trump Train.

+Jane Eyre my god get some facts woman. You may just be trolling and pretending to act stupid.

You've got to realize that Trump supporters lack any morals or empathy whatsoever. They're just pitiful White supremacists.

Angelica Sanchez That was not Trump’s FAULT!!!

A 72 year old is gonna die soon anyways. Might as well leave em there. Theyre most likely to reoffend.

4 years and 8 days after 9/11, I was diagnosed with cancer I believe was from exposure in my career in fire

Kristine L: Please see TedMed Youtube talk by Paul Stamets. Mycelium can boost your immune system.

Trump said "peurto rico was an unsung sucess"? Man, hes always saying dumb stuff. Sweet jesus.

SURFACES for Mural Visionaries No he isnt but he is NOT going to say that all those who came and helped Puerto Rico are somehow insignificant JUST BECAUSE many also did not make it thru!!!

Even on 9-11 Trump lies. Success in Puerto Rico ? No but there was failure.

Friend to Animal's Well dear, most of the country does not agree with you. You want to hate, all you can do.

Kyle Mann that is so terrible and the main press never really covered that aspect. The poor people.

Puerto Rico was a success to the Main Land, but once local government on the Island got involved they screwed up and failed their constituents. This is why at least 3 people including the Mayor who was always on the news over the way they handled aid they received but didn't distribute.

Friend to Animal's We have a tendency not to believe those who project onto TRUMP what their favorite pols have done all these years LIE

+Jane Eyre Trump not lying fake Jane Eyre? You're delusional.

It's just another day with Trump and his compulsive lying. What's even more sickening is that his followers don't think he's lying.

David Ellis He was not lying. PR A MESS WELL BEFORE HURRICANE

So parents CANNOT punish their own children but schools can???? wow!! Thank you Papa' & Mamma for taking care of it and never letting the nuns at me....sick!

I'm trying to recall the law on the books that parents can punish their kids. I'll certainly look into it.

Parents, and I use the word very loosely, are allowing others to determine whether or not to use violence on their children? sick excuses for parents. Peace

They are staying cause they are not smart or want to be interviewed afterwards.

What an unbelievably ignorant and uneducated comment. Are you an 8 year old? There's no doubt in my mind that you are an A.1 COWARD! PS,F U !

that womna needs the most charges for murdering another human being

A lot of stupid comments .

What’s Miguel Almaguer doing reporting on Elizabeth Smart? He’s usually the guy they send to the beach before a hurricane.

Sand bags and plywood will not make any difference in a CAT 4 hurricane

The hurricane in Puerto Rico was not President Trumps fault, neither was their ill preparedness.

NBC loves misery. Trust me y’all they love this stuff. It helps their ratings, that’s all they care about.

caddyshack68 Why should we trust you?

Operating in a fantasy world

STU POC my fantasy is Wendy Williams

And let's see how many a$$holes don't evacuate and get killed. 250? 300? Anyone care to estimate the anticipated number of deaths for the people with the "I've lived here my whole life and I ain't gonna let some hurricane or government tell me what to do."

Michael Spaargaren American Exceptionalism

Sharon Taylor -That could be caused by nano-thermite residue in the dust from 9/11 explosives planted throughout the buildings . Marvin Bush was in charge of security prior to 9/11 , and the elevator company was changed . Or the metal deterioration could be exacerbated by the chemicals in the chemtrails , silver iodide , aluminum oxide , barium oxide , strontium and thoreum as in the patents for geo-engineering , combine that with the blysothate found throughout our food chain from monsantos " round up " , so popular these days and found in cheerios and oreo cookies over 400 times allowable levels . But notice the rosicrucian cross on that label , so we won't go there .I feel it is the combination mixed with fluoride in the water that creates not only the hole in the tin foil hat but a bald spot below the hole .To be specific the hat is a tin foil yamaka , with a star of REMFRAN , not david , as referenced in the bible on it on one side and a swastica on the other side . I want to afix a propeller to the top . That plan is on the drawing board . Thanks for your kind encouragement . love and kisses , ta ta for now .

DON MCKINNEY -- I think you've developed a hole in your tin foil hat.

May the Good Lord keep you all in His Care.

Sharon Taylor Hatred, vulgarity against a duly elected President, no issues, no decent leadership in your party is WHY #WalkAway is gaining more & more momentum. Candace Owens tells the truth and she represents mire and more blacks. Latinos For Trump GROWS n GROWS. Good for you guys for winning one GA race. Good luck with expecting that blue “wave”

Jane Eyre -- Is that the lie that Trump and Fox News are currently telling you? The TRUTH is the opposite of what you say. Just look at the results of the special election in Georgia, in which Black people voted Democrat in record numbers and helped dump the Trump endorsed GOP candidate. Thanks to that, a Democrat won in a normally GOP district. In fact, more people of all races will be voting Democrat because we all share an equal hatred of your Orange cult leader, tRump.

It's not just Puerto Rico that still struggles. Ask the people in Rockport, Texas what we think of the "help" Trump gave us. Category 4 Hurricane Harvey made a direct hit here a year ago. So many are still trying to rebuild. Many who needed it got no help whatsoever from FEMA and Trump has never even bothered to show his face here (he went to Corpus Christi, which had VERY LITTLE damage, especially compared to the towns north of Corpus). Pence recently came here for the one year anniversary but the public was not allowed near him -- it was an invitation only event. When Trump's wife came here, it was just PR to advertise the FOUR families for whom FEMA had provided housing, while others were living in TENTS (and of COURSE she didn't visit THEM). Those who support their orange cult leader tRump and think he did a good job with the aftermath of the hurricanes of 2017 should be ashamed.

I dare a school employee to paddle my child and not use proper structure. They will have an arm movement problem thereafter.

The Virgin Islands was also ravaged by Irma and Maria both cat 5!!

Christine Todd Whitman should be ashamed of herself for declaring the site safe

I would never let someone hit by children with a rod. You don't know how hard they are hitting them and if it is even justified. I guess they want a whole bunch of scared people going through school all the time. How does someone learn and enjoy their time if they are afraid of being hit with a rod? These people are really f***** up in the head.

Sorry, Angie, thousands didn't die ... like so-called 'climate change" that's based entirely on a computer model ... as usual, it's the MEDIA who is lying ... (that's why their approval rating is much, much worse than Trump's!)

I don’t think it has a size. She has them specially made from old parachutes

YESSS ! What is her bra size anyway ?

Kevin Nienhuis My names not Angie and yes they did. This includes my uncle who died the day after the storm. This also includes many people who had no electricity and no way to get dialysis, whose sleep apnea machines did not work, who had lung cancer and could not get treatment, and who needed to keep their insulin cold and had no way of doing so. I was personally affected by this tragedy, don’t try to deny my truth just because you can’t see past politics and media.

Well Brian Williams be coming back as the anchor in the future now?

I hope that 9/11 reaponder live many many many many more years. He should not have to suffer for being a hero and soldier in a war not asked for. MAY HE & HIS FAMILY STAY BLESSED
