There's always people worse off than you. Back to back monsters Helene and Milton. Hurricane Milton wreaked absolute havoc as it made landfall late Wednesday knocking out power to millions of Floridians as expected and spawned at least 150 twisters! At least four deaths. Tampa wasn't hit straight on by the Category 3 system though. The fabric roof of the stadium used by the Tampa Bay Rays baseball team, Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg was completely ripped off. Rather than be a Captain Google you can just surf the rest of the details.
I can't wait for the politics of this. Marjorie Taylor Greene. Trump. Gotta put a spin on everything.
Our thoughts, hearts and prayers;)
Not as bad as i fhought - so far.
ReplyDeleteRelatively speaking. Far fewer deaths so far than Helene but the property damage and the over 3 million who had power knocked out. You got one of them generators BB?
ReplyDeleteNo generator. We had a power outage one evening last week. Flashlights and candles. I took a nap, wife read a book with a flashlight. No hurricanes here, no tornados, no mosquitos - a lot of
ReplyDeletepawn stores but no bodegas.
No generator but a camping lantern that takes 4 D batteries. Got me through some outages in the past.
ReplyDelete7 deaths now from Milton. Widespread tornado damage.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the deal with podcasts? Why would i watch someone expound on their opinions and gripes? I got Jeopardy and Big Bang - no angst.
ReplyDeleteFor some like Joe Rogan it makes millions. I think with him the appeal is he doesn't have an editor he has to answer to.
ReplyDelete17 dead from Milton so far.......
ReplyDeleteKind of odd - Cat 5 hurricane tamed down when it came ashore. Ever get one up your way?
ReplyDeleteBack in the day I remember a couple growing up. More recently SuperStorm Sandy technically not a hurricane and Irene a few years back that did damage upstate. Most times we just get the remnants of the hurricanes that hit the Southeast states. I'm OK with that.
ReplyDeleteClimate change dudes blame warming ocean water. Chaos guys ponder a hurricane might start when a frog sneezes in the Azores.
ReplyDeleteEvangelicals blame sinners, cynics blame the weather man and Trump blames the Dems. Dunno, what do you think?
Climate change can definitely be a factor but Bill Nye the science guy took it to a whole new level. He said if you wanna stop these monster storms vote for Kamala Harris. Didn't know she had those kinds of powers. Is she an archangel too? Will this sway any undecideds out there? A frog farts in the rainforest. The Butterfly Effect. Is there any science behind that? I don't blame gay marriage though.
ReplyDeleteGuess you have to talk to the atmospheric physicists. I did . What the heck they talking about?
ReplyDeleteI actually have a weather field guide I bought some years ago. Read it twice. Still don't understand it.
ReplyDeleteNow we have militia threatening FEMA workers. (??!) and the guy that showed up at a Trump rally in CA with two loaded pistols. He was arrested and booked, but claim they were self defense, he is a staunch Trump supporter and had every right to wander around armed. Going to sue the Sheriff Dept and fire the sheriff. CA - a progessive state, right?
ReplyDeleteSometimes had that problem in NYS. Guy from a license to carry state thinks he can carry his piece into all 50 states and just walk around. Say walk into a Mickie D's with a holster. Doesn't work that way.
