Hurricane Irma

[brewer]

A certain beloved forum member's parents live in Deland. I hope we get a check-in from him soon.

As far as things here in Leesburg, it's raining and pretty windy right now. We're expecting it to start picking up in an hour or so. Fingers crossed the roof won't blow off my mobile home in Fruitland Park.

Did you do the red neck cure and throw a shit load of tires on the roof?

Listening to WMNF from Tampa Bay, where I used to live, and tuning into whatever they have to say, but for now it's Sunday Simcha.

No joke: it's not far from the truth in my 'hood.

Gov. Rick Scott thanks Donald Trump for ‘praying for us’ as Hurricane Irma pounds Florida

Yeah.  That will do a metric fuckton of good.

I'm surprised the WLB didn't put this dumb cunt in his cabinet!

White House Chief of Staff John Kelly blisters Ann Coulter for joking about Hurricane Irma victims dying

White House Chief of Staff John Kelly took an out of character shot at conservative commentator Ann Coulter on Sunday for joking about the victims of Hurricane Irma.

The former general called Coulter out after she all-cap tweeted: “HURRICANE UPDATE FROM MIAMI: LIGHT RAIN; RESIDENTS AT RISK OF DYING FROM BOREDOM.”

For a little more levity in a tense situation:

What do hurricanes, tornadoes, and redneck divorces have in common?

No matter what happens, someone's losing a trailer.

Thanks to Backslider over at TTA for that.

The sheriff in Pasco County near Tampa is warning people "not to shoot at Hurricane Irma" - why does that not surprise me?

On a side (confessional) note, I was catfished by someone in the Tampa area...and hoping every last person except him comes out of Hurricane Irma unscathed.

I've been making my friends check in with me every now and then. I'll probably make them do it until they lose power. I don't subscribe to any sort of tv service so I can't keep track of where the eye is and I don't have the time to do it today with errands and stuff I need to get done.

I hope they will be okay. I wasn't thrilled they chose to stay and I can't wrap my head around why anyone would choose to do so, but they are in their late 60's and they live life as they please... guess if you're gonna go out... a cat 4-5 hurricane is the way to go.

If they're up by Daytona they should be fine so long as they've prepared appropriately. It's predicted to be Cat 1 - Cat 2 by the time it gets there. I've got a bud not too far from there, in Deland.

They haven't checked in in over four hours. I don't like this at all. I know they are grown adults, but I still can worry because they haven't been keeping in touch. The only thing I can think of is that maybe they lost power and haven't been able to charge their cell phones or anything.

Haha, good ol' Pasco. Rural Floridians are so great.
