My son in law's parents are in town this week. They live outside of Tama and were going to head home to put up the shutters but said the hell with it. I have lived thru Tornadoes but I can't imagine the weeks worth of waiting/wondering hoping the gulf coast peeps go thru. Tornadoes are a few hours of oh shit. I would rather live in tornado ally than play the hurricane lottery for a week. Good Luck to you Florida CP'ers.

Gonna start seeing some storm tonight before midnight and the main eye overnight tomorrow
Hang in there those like me that are staying put. God speed to those who waited to leave and will be stuck on the highway. They are considering opening the shoulders to drive on. |

Saints are playing the Vikings in London.. The local news in New Orleans is playing it up that the game could be played in the Superdome.. LOL.. New Orleans was just named the murder capital in the US.. It would be perfect.. Tons of hotels.. food..fun..drink.. But you might stay a little longer than expected because you got murdered..

This is the fun one to watch. People are just standing around getting soaked. One guy was on the closest wall to the sea about 10 minutes ago and got blasted back onto to the concrete by a wave. LMAO https://southernmostpointwebcam.com/ |

I’m at a conference in Orlando. In the middle of an open bar trade show, every phone in the room (at least 200) started blaring an emergency alert. Everyone just turned them off and went back to drinking.

Lol I hate to tempt fate, but these storms basically start to break apart as soon as they make landfall. We're relatively safe in Orlando since we're so far inland. Everyone I know is excited to get the next couple days off of work. |

I suppose there's a price to pay for living in a State with beautiful beaches, palm trees, and women wearing shorts 12 months a year. Not to mention, real strip clubs.
Poor Florida. |

Brady will pick where we play. The only reason we are not playing this game in Germany is him. He said no.

Live in Key West. Not too bad for us. Just very windy with a little rain and minor flooding due to high tide.

Floridians---Do you think they are inflating language to make people more scared?
Has the language been getting more inflated over the years or is it the same? |
Quote:
Part of that is the media and its hype. Part of that is also if it's not taken seriously and it's serious a lot of people will die. There isn't always some nefarious agenda. |

And people take the media as fake hype and false alarms until Katrina happens, and you have that much more money poured into saving people who didn't think it was a big deal because it's never been THAT big of a deal before. It's more about the burden of the masses sticking around than the chance you'll actually die, too, so people don't care as much. Same with KC and tornado warnings... Katie Horner was notorious for freaking out and yelling at viewers to take cover, but that one time that tornado hits your neighborhood and you're on the porch watching instead of in your basement, you could be dead. And sure, you also have the reporters who are standing outside in the middle of hurricanes and what not, which is obviously for ratings just as much as anything. |
Being down there just yesterday and thinking about a hurricane hitting Captiva and Sanibel, I find I’m pretty perplexed. How is it possible that 6-8 foot storm surge and 120 mph winds don’t cause more of a panic? I mean stores and restaurants were still open and the road off the island was completely bare. There were probably 15-20 people just fishing on the bridge between those two islands. Do the buildings just withstand those conditions better than I imagine?

It's raining in Florida, the world must stop...

In the end, nothing came of it. The predicted track was wrong, and Gloria moved back out into the open Atlantic. No storm surge, and only minimal damage as we only caught the fringes. But I'll never forget that day and night, along with the media's relentless predictions of doom that ended up being a bunch of overblown crap. I completely understand why people who have been promised that the world's going to end and then it doesn't don't take these warnings seriously. You don't believe it's going to happen to you until it does. |

I guess we will find out soon. |

Glad you survived it as well. And your experience is spot on for the overwhelming majority of people. |

Sofar we just have light rain and a nice breeze. It's only 75 here so I turned off my ac and opened up windows and doors. Were supposed to start feeling hurricane strength winds around noon
|
Waffle House in Ft. Meyers closed, so shit about to get real.
|
Every Publix grocery store from Naples up to Tampa and over to Orlando/Ocala is closed through at least Friday.

Looks like the Siesta Key beach cam just got snipered. At least temporarily. Was hoping to be able to watch it to check the storm surge. Can somebody in the area go unplug it then plug it back in?
edit - back on. |

Why are they moving this game to Minneapolis but when the field was unplayable in Mexico City, they gave the Rams a home game?
