These idiots were told to leave several times but they thought they were special because they were tourists so they didn’t leave. I live in St A and I left and I’m just fine in Orlando, waiting it out. My house South of King has been flooded but that’s life.
The city actually did a good job shutting off the water last night to encourage these fools to leave and also preventing backflow from getting into our water system.
Maybe they can get a group Darwin Award.
looks like the bar just moved to the 2nd floor...
“Where/when is this photo from?”
Batman V Superman, dawn of justice
WHAT is that a Picture of?
I’m thinking there’s a second floor!
“WHAT is that a Picture of?”
See post 105
Yeah, the old “vertical evacuation” trick.
Some people, including a NO city councilwoman, tried that during Katrina at, IIRC, the high rise Hilton hotel.
Result was hysteria when all of the facade’s plate glass windows blew out. Huge shards of glass blew into hotel rooms. Furnishings were hurled about.
People were running to hide in the stairwells.
The ground floor was under water, electricity out, pitch dark.
Good fun for all.
100+ mph wind ain’t nuffin’ nice.
Most of the dead in Katrina did NOT drown; they were killed by blunt force trauma—hit by flying debris.
...
Before I made my post I checked the wind in St. Augustine and it was already below 40 mph.
Glad to hear it.
If that’s 20 Democrats, that’s 60 fewer votes.
If they took down that *despicable* Confederate flag, maybe someone would save ‘em. :)
Their own fault. Jes sayin’
I just have to ask, even though it’s far late...what Confederate flag?
I thought it was a Union flag. Do you think it’s a Brit flag?
LOL ... [give me a small break; I’m recovering from a detached retina...and my eye sight still sucks.]
My joke fell flat. Sorry.
Hey no problem.
I just noticed it’s all “English-speaking countries”. US, GB, Aus, and Ireland (which I 1st wonder, “how does the Italy flag fit in?”).
Kind of odd for a place called “Casablanca”!
Very cosmopolitan, to be sure.
I’d fit right inn. Heh.
Even here in Reno, we saw enough warnings about staying when told to evacuate. Many different politicians make it clear to ‘not call 911—we won’t risk the lives of others to save you when you won’t leave as instructed.
Time for some tough love with these idiots.
Here it is almost the end of the year & we might have this year’s Darwin Award winners in this hurricane....
