This is a visual so you can see what a 19/20 foot storm surge is. Water that can't be stopped.

The picture is of the Hurricane that have hit Wilmington/ Wrightsvile Beach.. You've heard of many of these. Most were Cat 1, 2 or 3 ,,   Only Hazel was a Cat 4/5 .   It had the 19 ft storm surge.   THIS IS WHAT HIT Ft Myers Fla.  It's devastating .

So  when Georgetown SC is hit ( or that area ),  thank if a 5-8 storm surge.  AND, High Tide is about noon today.  There will be damage. Probably not catastrophic ,, but it won't be pretty.

Is that the museum in WB?

How many folks lost their lives in Florida?  I saw reports of hundreds on Wednesday, but can only see 12-15 confirmed.  Maybe not looking at right websites.

We’re up to 21 right now, most in southwest Florida, a couple in central Florida. It’s going to take some time to sort through all the mess down here but I wouldn’t be shocked if we got to the 80-100 range.

Historically there are more people who die as a result of the storm after it has passed.  From driving through flooded roads to CO poisoning to chainsaw and other accidents.

One in central Florida was just from an elderly individual draining his pool into a canal during the storm. He slipped and fell down the bank and drowned.

I sure am glad our school district cancelled school today for what literally amounted to some light drizzle during the actual school day. Still just a medium steady rain here. Definitely idiotic to cancel school for this. It's even worse than the typical cancel school for flurries that the south is well known for.

The scenario here is really bad weather COULD happen, and kids, parents or teachers COULD get injured/killed...

So the choices are ...

1) Cancel school and everyone can make their own decisions on how to stay safe,

or

2) "Force" people to go to school, and the District ends up the liable party to injuries and deaths.

Gotta remember who is making the decision - most likely an elected official who knows option 1 possibly results in a few pissy people who are inconvenienced to watch their kids, and option 2 possibly results in having to hold a press conference with 5,000 people at a candlelit vigil protesting a death(s) and calling for said elected official's job.

There wasn't forecasted severe weather for this area.

      They reached for Pickett, so they are not immune to it.  I could see that as well.  I just think the Colts are flying under the radar and they have been too quiet concerning their QB situation--of course, they could think Jones is their guy (they had a good one named Jones a long time ago) but I think they are done with the Richardson experiment.   Even if I believed in Jones, I would still draft a QB--I also read one mock that said the Jets would take Sanders if he falls to 7---I disagree, but I was once wrong and it still bothers me.

      I just switched to prime video with fanduel south. Will I be able to watch the Canes playoff games still?

      I mean, you can use that "logic," but the problem is that most practice squad players, backups or average guys don't put the play on film that Wharton did when given their opportunities.  Perhaps you'll end up right, but I don't think that just because a guy has been in a rotation makes him inherently less productive because he gets more snaps. I will say that the KC fans I've seen on social media loved him, and considered him their second best DT,  regardless of his "rotational" status, and generally considered him a dawg, so I'm going to give him the benefit of doubt until he shows otherwise.
