Hope all of our fellow SEC brethren in Florida had a safe night after that hurricane.

RTRnFlorida is the only person I know of that was in the path. He's in Sarasota, so probably got it worse than anyone. Hopefully he made it ok.

It was pretty mild north of Tampa.

Over in Jacksonville and luckily it breezed past. Have family in Bradenton and Sarasota- while they got hit hard, the wind shear that cut it down to a three before the nasty stuff hit made it not as big of a deal when it did hit the mainland. The barrier islands definitely got it worse but my best friend and both parents (living separately pretty far apart) all experienced the eye around 1030-11. Really surreal videos coming out of that. Again luckily very limited damage where it hit at least from people I know due to the drop off in velocity. We got very very lucky.

Lsutigresfan,
im genuinely curious why you have a Longhorn logo while being a lsu fan? I've seen this type of thing by other posters on tigerdroppings, what's the reasoning for this conflict?

Then shut the frick up. You probably didn't even attend UT Austin and this post has nothing to do with any of that besides hoping everyone affected made it through the night safely.

Sorry I asked. I'll go back to my nap since Bonanza is almost over. I ain't got enough time left to get in any pissing matches.

Darn Texas has been watching the wrong border.

You would have never gotten into Texas today, dumbass. and continue to post less like you have been doing. You started the "pissing match" in the first place.

Texas wouldn't have Arch Manning with a dumbass take like that.

I don't think he was trying to start a pissing match. You could simply tell him you grew up in Louisiana but got your degree from Texas.

He could also put two and two together. Not my fault the board got rid of signatures and they don't come to the board often. I only ever had to explain it when that happened and I'm not making a new account.

Just north of where the eye passed. Ended up with some flooding, trees down, power lines down and power out of course. Otherwise it could’ve been a lot worse for my area.

These hurricanes feel weaponized to me. It's not like it's new technology. Daarpa has been working on stuff like this forever so has China's military sector.

They had over 100 potential tornado touchdown warnings in south Florida last night.

That's just insanity to me. Never seen anything like this and then there was that huge chemical explosion in Conyers, Georgia in which their local EPA official collapsed and died yesterday right after warning people about the chemicals that are involved.

I don't like anyone here on the rant, but if you are smart you better be stockpiling up on gallons of water, canned goods and ammunition because something awfully fishy is going on along with all the international turbulence especially in the middle east with Israel and Iran.

Yep those did the most damage in South Florida. I didn't know there were that many.

We have a home on AMI that we airbnb and our primary home is in NW Bradenton less than half a mile from Tampa Bay. To say our sphincters were puckered is an understatement. Thankfully we spent the last three days together as a family in Athens with our sophomore son.
