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.

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!!!!

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".

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.
