Hey !! would like to go for a dive??

There's a Buncha Thee's That are willing to fund it. ;D



I hope she stays safe. :)

Please don't forget Andrew.

Has now been upgraded to Cat5.

My dad left for his winter home near Ft Myers today, right on one of the canals. He's driving down. Haven't had a chance to talk to him about Milton yet, but I'm sure he's stubborn enough to drive right into it. Hopefully his girlfriend has a bit more pull to get him to reconsider than I do.

Just talked to my dad, he said they're on the road and gonna hunker down in Alabama to wait out the storm. Why they had to leave today just to grab a (possibly non existent) hotel for a few days? Only he knows.... :wallbash:

Oh man...I hope she is ok this time around too, because it looks like Milton is heading that way.

My wife's brother lives in the Tampa Bay area, so they are likely right in the path.
Not sure if they will evacuate or hunker down.

It's only him, his wife, and 2 dogs, so they can easily hop in the car and head for his sister's place in Georgia, but he's stubborn too, so I'm not sure what he is going to do. :no:

You didn't have to actually come out of the closet today, we all knew you were that way based on how you vote.

He's just proving his ignorance again. Didn't actually watch the video, but condemns one of the only people who's actually trying to help. Him and Trump along with Jason Aldean and his wife have raised over $7.5 million for relief. Elon is trying to set up communications, but FEMA is confiscating them, and the FAA says they can't land if they don't know who they are meeting with on the ground....what in the actual fuck is going on with this stupid fucking administration and it's corruption?
Meanwhile, more money being sent overseas without batting an eye.

Where's all these hypocrite democrat millionaires and billionaires at now?
crickets.

I started seeing posts from Greg Biffle (retired NASCAR driver) who's been flying his personal helicopter to drop off supplies and evacuate people. He got a bunch of companies to donate supplies, the latest being Husqvarna donated truckload of clothing, gas cans, and 4 pallets of chainsaws that he's delivering to victims today.

Such terrible people...

Remember that civilian pilot who was threatened to be arrested by the piece of shit assistant fire chief if he continued to help people?
Well it turns out, after that went viral they were inviting all civ pilots to come and help the very next day.
Their excuse was that he didn't have proper training.
He must have stayed at a Holiday Inn Express that night because he was back out the next day rescuing people.

The stonewalling by the governments both local and federal in this disaster is off the charts.

Read some of the comments in that first video, it should piss everyone off no matter what political view you have.

This is what our government does to people trying to help other people.

Helicopter rotor washes staging area after being waved off. And that ain't no civilian helicopter.
