Sustained winds now at 150 mph - just 7 mph short of Cat 5. Panama City, Port St. Joe, Apalachicola - all looking at being seriously fucked in the next few hours.
Watching CNN just now and all I can think is that one of these days one of those out-in-the-storm reporters is going to get decapitated and we will all look back at how stupid that was like we look back on driving with out seatbelts.
>>>>Watching CNN just now and all I can think is that one of these days one of those out-in-the-storm reporters is going to get decapitated
Did you see the one reporter in the batter's helmet? Who I am really worried about are those self styled "storm chasers" driving around and uploading video to Twitter. Damn.
Some early pics coming in, my sis lives in Defuniak Springs, Florida...just NW of Panama City and Mexico Beach :(. Some folks down there in the rural country areas live in very old and poorly built homes, a lot of poverty and they have zero resources avail, most did not leave their homes....very sad !
Lighten up, St. Francis. Of course I am wishing for safety from all in harm's way. The two tunes about storms I posted above had already been an expression of my empathy for those facing the storm. Just interjecting a little light in the darkness.
Some of those pictures of Mexico Beach in total ruin are nuts. Doesn't look good and I don't know how people could have survived if they didn't evacuate and tried to ride it out in those now smashed and submerged buildings. That area of "Floribama" is very rural and backwoods and it will probably take sometime to assess the damage and get to everyone in need.
Also nuts that this went from a tropical depression to almost a Cat 5 in less than 48 hours. Doesn't give much time to prepare.
I support Dave. Black humor is valid as long as it's not cruel. I chuckled. A sharknado is at least theoretically possible in this situation. Doods, black humor is the way here and in Australia too, and elsewhere. Why would anyone assume that Dave was being intentionally cruel?
No one did, I'm sure. We have knees a'jerkin here. I'm looking at you, St. Mark.
