it's like that every single time, we're not even in the path of this storm, i'm in the central part of FL not the panhandle.   But again, all these people losing their minds....you KNEW it was hurricane season, you KNEW you needed a few bottles of water and some canned goods back in May.   And yet they continue to put things off til the last minute.  Meanwhile I'm over here, canned goods, check, water, check, 3 full propane tanks...check.   

Human nature is to procrastinate until the edge of doom.

Will be downgraded, more people leaving for no reason

 

I believe they had a pretty good reason to seek higher ground.

Hurricane Michael is now "potentially catastrophic" and has sustained winds of 145mph, the National Hurricane Centre has said in its latest advisory, delivered at 7am local time in Florida.

 

 

Hurricane Michael has strengthened to a Category 4 major storm as it closes in on Florida and Alabama – and authorities are warning the “potentially catastrophic” cyclone may become more intense still before landfall later today.

By early afternoon local time Michael is expected to become one of the Panhandle region’s worst hurricanes in memory with 140mph winds and a life-threatening storm surge of up to 4m (13ft).

 

"The historical record, going back to 1851, finds no Category 4 hurricane ever hitting the Florida panhandle. Bay County (Panama City) likely to be ground zero for landfall later this afternoon."

Not as important as human lives..................but it will effect all of us.

 

 

 

OUCH: Michael shuts nearly 40 percent of U.S. Gulf of Mexico oil output.

 

Between this, Canada’s refinery fire, the roaring economy, Venezuela’s ongoing collapse, and the (necessary) return of sanctions on Iran, it sure doesn’t look like we’re going to see any price relief soon.

Ooops, time to come back up North.

 

Not to sound cold, but who pays?  Taxpayer in Boise, Idaho!

 

Go on Vacation people... Florida needs Your tourist economy!

 

So does California, Texas, NC & SC ... After our fires, people thought the whole county burned down, tourism plummeted. After one year, it's still down w/ the misconception all the wineries and area was destroyed. 

 

Mikey...landfall @ 155 (1 mph short of a CAT 5), definitely not a yawn...especially to all those people who took precautions and still will be left dealing w/ disaster (insurance companies don't readily hand out money, as many found out here). I don't wish that upon anyone.

Mexico beach and San jose beach is straight white out on the camera. Can't see nothing with that strong wind and rain. Going to be much of nothing left there. They are getting hit with the strongest eastern eye wall of it. Hate it for them. Hope they had sense enough to leave.

George Stephonopoulis just blamed this massive storm on global warming...

Too many people living on the coast! Now that's something than can be blamed.

 

Just imagine how much easier things would be if only half the population was there.

 

 

Supposedly people didn't heed the warnings, now they want help.  Dumbasses!

 

Oh, and shut cellphones off too.  Have Civil Denfense just press mute button till the storm passes.  Pesky cellphones!

 

People don't listen.  Que sera sera. Looks like gas prices will spike for the country, good thing it went further east than the Gulf petrol-chem hub. Tourist beaches are devastating, but off shore oil rigs even more devasting. Dow is already down 3%.

This pos still has an eye as it approaches Georgia...

 

3rd worst storm to ever hit the US mainland they say,  not saying hurricane, just storm. Wonder where the blizzard of '77 ranks.

 

Have family SE of Atlanta, a phone call is in the works right now.

Do you take this hurricane seriously yet or is it still a yawn to you?

No, I don't take it seriously. Not a !@#$ing chance of taking it seriously.  Not just because it won't have any impact on me, but because even if it did - I know I've been responsible and prepared all I can for it.  I'm not a mass hysteria swallowing dolt who reacts because everyone else does.

 

But, at least I can rest peacefully knowing I'm not the moron Stephanalopis is... That's a relief.

What more can one do?  If some turkey decided to stay in Florida for this or those buffoons in Gatorbaits video get in trouble then is it really a tragedy?  Hurrdurr lemme go get a video for Worldstar.  Hurrdurr, gotta stay and protect my home cuz the hurricane.

 

If you want to protect your home get your ass back asap after the hurricane. Load your shotgun and wait for the vandals.  That's the best chance you have to do something reasonable. Otherwise, gtfo and save yourself, your family, your pets.

 

And don't cry for me Argentina when you live on the God damn coast of a big ass ocean and get a hurricane.  It sucks, people will have their lives changed but to claim their life is ruined is exaggerating; they still have their life (that is if they were smart enough to leave town).
