Rushin’ outta Florida.
Only days after talking about how destructive hurricanes
were overhypedand emboldened climate change proponents, conservative pundit Rush Limbaugh has said he’s evacuating his Palm Beach, Fla. home.
As Category 4-strength Hurricane Irma inches closer to southern Florida, the commentator said on his program Thursday, “May as well announce this. I’m not going to get into details because of the security nature of things, but it turns out that we will not be able to do the program here tomorrow. We’ll be on the air next week, folks, from parts unknown.”
According to The Hill, fellow conservative commentator and author Mark Steyn will fill in for Limbaugh.

The evacuation comes after Limbaugh told his listeners that the frenzy surrounding a hurricane is often a ploy to boost ratings for the media and drive sales for retailers.
He qualified the statement by adding that he’s “not a meteorologist” and that the messages he’s spouted don’t comprise a “forecast.”

He added, “There is a desire to advance this climate change agenda, and hurricanes are one of the fastest and best ways to do it. You can accomplish a lot just by creating fear and panic... All you need is to create the fear and panic accompanied by talk that climate change is causing hurricanes to become more frequent and bigger and more dangerous, and you create panic, and it’s mission accomplished, agenda advanced.”
Limbaugh said it boils down to money, of course, and that there is a “symbiotic relationship” between retailers and local media.

Once TV stations begin reporting on a storm, residents are driven to retailers to prepare, and so on, he said.
NBC meteorologist Al Roker leveled harsh criticism at Limbaugh for his comments, and the latter ultimately said on his radio program that Irma was “dire” and “mammoth,” according to
The Hill.
