I have decided to leave the coast a few times and went a couple hundred miles in a safe direction where the storm wouldn't follow me, and slept in the car. It doesn't have to be horribly expensive if you rough it. The thing about evacuating is people don't want to leave everything they own and not be able to get back in because the police won't let you in. Then you're looted. You add leaving animals into it, it gets to be hard to make yourself go.

Some of the old timers might not have left no matter what. Remember the guy Harry Truman at Mt St Helens? And the others thinking they were a safe distance, observers, it was just bigger than they realized. There are a few pics online of Spruce Pine and that area. Not much. Found a couple of stories on AOL I didn’t know they were still on existence.

I just looked that up. They are fuged.

Glad you are okay man.

Good stuff. If you go all the way down to 43 you can find a 6th overall pick in his 3rd season. Icky’s 17 losses matches the combined total of Hunt, Lewis, Corbett and Motion. I don’t see Zavala.

Long hard road ahead of him. Hope he can play again.

I was just realizing a similarity between Canales and Fox. They both came in resetting the standards for player expectations and telling them about it so they can get to work.

Maybe check out that video of the Shaq updates just above these posts. You might hear some good stuff.

It’s gonna be maybe some kind of record. Not the kind you want. I am thinking maybe a number of those just could still be cut off from communicating. I hope.

Absolutely it is. Canales talks all the time about setting a standard. Who have we had that ran that line by people? Maybe Fox with his not tough enough line.

That was supposed to read “not make a big argument” sorry.

Yeah I also addressed that. The times we are in require more effort to find the facts of things. The weather info posted online is far superior to listening to the Weather Channel. I hope more people will do it. You have to be proactive. There are means to do that for most people. And definitely when the last catastrophic flood event has faded from living memory you are going have people that aren’t fully aware of what those warnings really mean. It is unfortunate to say the least. I’m sure most people lived and learned sheerly through being lucky but there are some bad outcomes that the only positives to be found is they are cautionary tales that will help others take action in the future.

That was a factor in who was kept for the WR room as I recall.

There is Bears game content inside as well as just good general info. Diontae trade speculation is addressed somewhat.

I am gonna.make a big argument blaming victims, there is no winning there for anybody and I feel for them. https://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/topstories/noaa-issues-rare-alert-on-hurricane-helenes-widespread-catastrophic-flooding-rains/ar-AA1rdgg8

Well the Bears fuging up the 2025 2nd would ease it a little I guess. And after that we are paid off. But we have to watch CJ play for however many years and it won’t stop. I have felt good about Canales since we hired him and that would not have happened if Bryce would have not gotten the other coaches fired. So if Canales is the guy, it is a great booby prize.

Other than the downplaying of the disaster that Bryce is, I see things very similarly. The future has brightened up a lot.

I don’t see anything in team history that compares to the magnitude of the Bryce Young disaster.

The days of not having much advance warning are over. They were still tracking hurricanes via reports from ships at sea in 1940 and certainly were in 1916. If you go back and read the warnings and predictions there were clues that it was not going to be good. I guess one thing that will come out of it is that people WILL pay attention to the forecasts and now have a fresh example that these things really do happen, not just in a book about history. Fact is that the idea of catastrophic consequences being a real thing is mostly limited to people who have been through that. And they are nearly died out, it isn't a 'this could definitely happen I better get out of here just in case' to so many. It will be now for the next 20 or 30 years at least.

I think if he sucks we'll feel better about losing that pick. That's the solace. Such as it is. It is strength on strength our O vs their D, and the other sides are weakness vs weakness. DJ will be motivated but they have to get it to him.

So far you can still trust the weather sites. Even if you don't trust the news it is important to keep up with weather threats. The hyping of minor incidents by people like The Weather Channel gets to be sort like crying wolf all the time, got to go online to NOAA and the weather geek type of places. I use this site and it pretty much gets you to everything you need to monitor the GoM and Atlantic weather threats: https://spaghettimodels.com/ by the hyping I mean, for a week they have their landfall plastered all over the screen and the reporters scaring people into preparing and then the thing turns to the right at a different place than they thought and all that stuff is forgotten as they rush to the new site. The people that were in the barrel have done all their prep and don't have that payoff so they will not heed warnings as fast the next time. That's why I don't watch them any more. I just go to the models. Like they do.

A few minutes of Dalton forcing the defense to expand to normal defensive coverages, bingo. They are backed off. It is all it took to make things easier.

He is probably someone that was on their radar and it is a move made independent of the current crisis.

CBA protects them from being driven hard and really shows in the game.

A guy I work with sometimes left the Myrtle Beach area at 6am pulling a 40ft racing trailer full of water headed for NC mountains. On his own dime. People up there are saying no FEMA really...
