Seeing the pic tells me we made the right choice in moving to TV. They're as crazy as we are !

Hopefully no one was hurt by that flying debris. Cudda wiped out a car.

Laffs! Clean up started bright and early Wednesday morning when the Community Watch Patrol drivers started picking up palm fronds. :)

Doesn’t this thread make you smile, and laugh a little. Thanks OP for a great post.

Guessing no free roofs from Elsa. But I did have to bend over and pick up a piece of paper.

Don’t joke about it!! We are from hurricane alley on the east coast. It could have been bad for us so thank the Lord it wasn’t!!

Which goes to show us, don’t listen to the broadcasters, they told us that it was a major Hurricane, kept telling us 24/7.
I no longer watch news unless it’s a major issue and then, I make my own mind about it. These folks are propagandizing news and enhancing their content. Journalism died with Cronkite, Huntley, Brinkley etc!!!!

Sure glad about all those people who evacuated...

Who said that? I never heard that mentioned once in all the (excessive) coverage on tv - 'tropical storm', 'possible Category One hurricane', 'heavy rains', 'possible flooding' etc, for sure but not "major".

Well said! LOL

Nonsense. It was a cat1 when south of the Dominican Republic and then downgraded to a tropical storm before moving over Cuba. The forecasts 3 days out had it as a tropical storm moving north off the west coast of Florida before making landfall between Tampa and the eastern portion of the panhandle. It was never described as a major hurricane.
