Just saw on WESH 2 there is a wave off the coast of Africa. It is a tropical depression. It's that time of year.

I miss the voice and expertise of Bryan Norcross. He talked us though Andrew on WPLG. His voice on the radio during the storm was very comforting.

Keeping one's vehicle at least half full of gas isn't that burdensome, either.
You answered your own question. It’s simply human nature.

Knowing a little bit about developing hurricans and weather I am pretty sure that TV (Florida central location) never will get a full hit by any hurricane. A lot of rain, yes possible, wind gusts.

Then I don’t think you are from Hawaii, where it is considered a special delicacy. Grocery stores have been held up for Spam to resell like cigarettes.

On one of my visits to friends in Anchorage, they took me to a legendary local show...with a guy named Mr. Whitekeys.

SPAM jokes were a big part of his show, with a photo montage of people holding cans of SPAM...from around the world.

It seems a lot of folks had seen his show over the years...and sent their pic's.

LOL, guess this thread has run it's course. In before the lock.

The world is good again. Starbucks is opening this afternoon after being closed since Sunday ... but PANERA is closed today but was opened all along. Corporate decisions are really strange.

Spam is on the menu at Mickey Ds in Hawaii. Like a twinkies the shelf life is longer than ours.

I love it! It comes in several flavors. My favorite was Portuguese Sausage Spam. I had to buy it online from a seller in Hawaii on ebay. I looked..... still available.

Getting back on topic, I didn't see anyone stocking up on Spam for the hurricane. I'm waiting for the meatless version.
