WEEK 117 / 337 — The Second Storm
Vol. 2 ·  Chapter 12 — Very Fine People · Sep 5 – Sep 11, 2017
Manga panel 1 of 5, Week 117 “The Second Storm”: The order comes down: the dreamers' shield will sunset in six months, and the burden is thrown onto the marble steps of the lawmakers.
“Congress, get ready to do your job - DACA!”
Manga panel 2 of 5, Week 117 “The Second Storm”: Six months on the glass. In the small hours he turns the deadline over in his mind, promising the dreamers there is nothing to fear — yet.
(Congress now has 6 months to legalize DACA (something the Obama Administration was unable to do). If they can't, I will revisit this issue!)
Manga panel 3 of 5, Week 117 “The Second Storm”: Before the first flood has drained, a second storm — the strongest ever recorded in the open Atlantic — takes aim at the islands and Florida.
(The U.S. Coast Guard, FEMA and all Federal and State brave people are ready. Here comes Irma. God bless everyone!)
Manga panel 4 of 5, Week 117 “The Second Storm”: From an aircraft doorway he watches the coast guard hang from the storm on a steel thread: fifteen thousand pulled from the last flood, a tougher storm now inbound.
Our incredible U.S. Coast Guard saved more than 15,000 lives last week with Harvey. Irma could be even tougher. We love our Coast Guard!
Manga panel 5 of 5, Week 117 “The Second Storm”: Sixteen years on, the towers of light stand where the towers stood, a lone mourner watching from a rooftop. For one night, even the feed goes quiet.
May God Forever Bless the United States of America. #NeverForget911
SIXTEEN YEARS. THE TOWERS OF LIGHT STAND WHERE THE TOWERS STOOD. FOR ONE NIGHT, THE FEED GOES QUIET.

This week in the saga

The second storm. The dreamers' shield is given six months to live and the burden hurled at the lawmakers' marble steps — then the sky sends Irma, the strongest open-Atlantic storm ever recorded, before Harvey's water has even drained. The coast guard hangs from the clouds on steel threads. And on the last day, sixteen years on, two towers of light stand where the towers stood, and for one night even the feed goes quiet.
