Matt Drudge knows weather. Sure, he drives the agenda on politics daily, but his real first love is weather.
And I should know — I ran The Drudge Report in the mornings for four years.
Drudge loves it all — wildfires, landslides, blizzards, earthquakes, droughts, tornadoes. But he especially knows hurricanes, and he’s covered dozens of the devastating weather phenomena since he opened up his famous website in 1998.
And one more thing about Doc (I called him Doc because of his initials — MD): He’s always ahead of the wave (once, he told me, “We don’t ride waves, we make waves”).
And so, as weathermen continue to muse about where Hurricane Florence will make landfall and whether it will pack a punch, Drudge went out there late Sunday with a rare tweet.
“Hurricane Florence may end up being the worst natural disaster in recorded history for the Carolinas and Virginia. 3 to 4 feet of rain, IF predictions hold! BIG news week developing…” Drudge wrote.
Other dire tweets soon followed.
