Aqua - have you heard from your folks?

Just spoke to them; okay for now. They have a pretty good chance of avoiding the flooding but I wonder about the wind. I'm thinking the trees in their neighborhood are going to pose a problem.

They will. But wind is vastly preferable to water.

Bill ("I hava BS in mechanical engineering") Nye the "science" guy tells us how to prevent big hurricanes.

Here's some inconvenient truths:

@George-K He has been huddling with Rep Greene. Both seem to agree that the government controls hurricanes. (Tell that to Taiwan, which got a big one a couple of weeks ago. Must be mainland China!)

I see a couple Southwest flights headed south into Fort Lauderdale.

I bet they hit some bumps.

It’s hitting to the south of Tampa. Sarasota… Most of the water’s been sucked out of the bay. Sarasota is going to be very wet.

That's my idea of hell. I have a hard time just dealing with regular turbulence. I don't quite scream like a girl, but sometimes it gets pretty close.

So, I'm thinking of moving to Israel to enjoy the peace and calm of getting hit by 30 or so rockets on a good day and every now and then 180 or so.

Shat storm all around just a couple of branches broken and a yardful of crap to clean--not to mention a dock way under water with some sort of tree floating and trapped between the pylons. So first Helene, now Milton and soon to be Nadine. But it's the HELL of it. I'm all good though.

And it wouldn't hurt you all in the future to please do a little more recycling or not using plastic bags or drive Tesla trucks or whatever. Much thanks.

I’m going to buy a box of paper straws in your honor.

Governor Ron is really the best. He'd make a great president even it it's just in the "getting things done" department. Unlke most (or all) politicians he's an able administrator.

It looks like the house next door is ok. Did they have straps?
