You just heard Trump say in the audio we played<\/a> of his meeting with FEMA, “Man, this thing\u2019s big, right? It\u2019s bigger than ever, right? Bigger than the whole Gulf of Mexico.” “Well, it\u2019s pretty big out there, Mr. President.” It isn\u2019t! In fact, this email says, “Rush, Hurricane Allen in 1980 covered two-thirds of the Gulf. This isn\u2019t even close to that.” You know, I\u2019m happy to see this meteorological sensitivity to the exaggerations that are taking place in the media.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/APP-101018-Hurricane-Michael-002.jpg\")

‘Cause what these guys all know is that this is being used to advance the whole politics-of-climate change agenda and everything. Now, in saying this I don\u2019t want anybody to misunderstand. I\u2019m not saying this storm\u2019s not a bad one and I\u2019m not saying it\u2019s not destructive and dangerous. It just isn\u2019t what they\u2019re portraying it as.<\/p>\n
Worst-case scenario, it isn\u2019t. All things considered, the entire geographic area of the storm is relatively small, which you will see. And this picture of it, by the way, doesn\u2019t have any color on it. It\u2019s a satellite of the clouds. There are no gradients. There are no deep, scary bright reds and dark blacks and all that in this. Hang on and I will get a shot of this in the Dittocam.<\/p>\n
BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n
RUSH: Here\u2019s the picture. Let\u2019s switch to it. I got it in the switcher, the Dittocam now. This is, if you\u2019re watching on the Dittocam, and I\u2019ll get this up to Koko so we have it at the website as well. That is a satellite photo from GOES-16, I believe, the weather satellite, of Hurricane Michael. And you can see that it is in terms of it is total area, it\u2019s not a large storm. It\u2019s intense as it can be. It\u2019s a Category 5. But it does not… There was a meteorologist sent me a note a moment ago, 1980 there was a hurricane named Allen that covered two-thirds of the Gulf of Mexico.<\/p>\n
And, again, the sensitivity here is due to the fact the media is hyping this, and even the weather service is hyping it because there\u2019s, of course, a political agenda attached. The climate change and all that. So I just wanted to share with you a sat photo that was sent to me to show that it\u2019s an intense storm, but it\u2019s not, even by historical standards, among the largest. And remember, the real intensity of those storms is at the eye and then it begins to dissipate. But a Cat 5 it\u2019s gonna take quite a while for dissipation to become no damage, just heavy rain and wind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

The most recent one, I have a picture. The guy sent me a picture, color satellite photo of the… In fact, you know what I ought to do? I didn\u2019t have time. I\u2019m gonna take a screenshot of this and I\u2019m gonna put it in the Dittocam switcher. I\u2019ll do that in just a second during the break or maybe during a sound bite so that you can see what I\u2019m talking about. It\u2019s a picture of this storm and compared to the Gulf of Mexico and the state of Florida, it isn\u2019t that big.<\/p>\n
