I feel bad for the guy they have out in Miami..
The Hurricane Thread | Hurricane Otis
- Thread starter Florida Man

It's changed course again, and like before that's good news, especially for places like Tampa.
Yeah, me too, bless him. He's been getting slammed for hours, I dunno how he's still standing.
Those two reporters on CNN 
Getting nasty in Naples.
Holy shit, Cuomo is getting absolutely battered now, it's hitting hard there. His mate walking around the street is taking a big risk too.
Watching NBC.. saying Marco Island has the eye over it and its not windy... then they show a video where the trees look like they will be blown away any second
Watching Cuomo get battered and all I can think is how far the advancements in technology have come for his microphone to still be able to work in a hurricane.This is brutal, he can barely raise his head for more than a second
My wife's cousin has a house in Naples and a boat on his dock barely used since he's from New Jersey and he probably left the boat there and by the time the storm is over the boat will be inside the house
How he hasn't swore during this is beyond me. Poor guy
This is really addictive viewing. Don't know how Cuomo is keeping it together, he's been on that balcony all day
Earning his wages alright.
And now?
Overhyped...
It got cloudy and the very beginnings of the winds started to get here while I was playing golf this morning at about 10:30am
Its track changed sadly, it was projected to have a direct impact with the southern tip when I wrote that.
Go and in the "Layers" pick "Visible Satellite" to see just how big the cloud cover of this thing is...

That fecking loon with the three legged dog.
Man out walking his dog while out while in the eye
Lol or put another way, you were wrong about it's strength and no sign yet of it being over hyped. the thread sure is bringing out the stupid in people.
This thread has brought out some weird posters.Overhyped...

Oh snap
Seems I upset him pointing out how wrong he has turned out being.
I said in a post it was complete guess work. I also said that I'd certainly never want anyone using what I said as any kind of basis to make a decision. I also said after when it was projected to go up the coast that it could strengthen if it did. I got it wrong, sure but it was based on an assumption that never happened. If someone says we will win the league if we sign Griezmann and then we don't sign him and don't win the league it's a bit of a non-point to bring up. I could well have been wrong anyway, like I said when someone replied, I was using an internet PhD.Seems I upset him pointing out how wrong he has turned out being.
Mad devastation. Naples Florida, the place to go for quality building work and roofing. I'm seriously impressed (and relieved) that there isn't way more damage as that was intense.
More good news, wind speed is dropping fast, it's a Category 2 now. Hopefully it keeps dropping quickly.

Glad to hear it is weakening still a lot of water going to be dumped on a lot of areas.
Yeah, I just saw a Tweet saying the water has risen 6 feet in the last few minutes in Naples. Did you just see it on the telly? That water just came out of nowhere.
Cuomo is jacked
I said that yesterday mate, both he and Anderson Cooper were rocking tight t-shirts and both looked dench as hell. The CNN gun show out in full force.Tweet

I heard someone on Red Cafe say the storm might hit at Cat 1 or so.

its amazing how CNN haven't had one loss of feed or signal or even a instance where the reporter couldn't hear the other.

Wow, that's awful.
Yeah, I'm amazed that it isn't coming through small gaps in the doors and windows far quicker. I'm guessing they've done some prep.
I'm torn between two thoughts...
1) solid work by whoever installed those doors and windows
2) they tell folks to evacuate for a reason
Got to be said that last few hours on CNN was incredible.
Absolutely incredible considering feeds are lost and technical issues are aplenty any time they've got somebody on who either a) criticises them, or b) doesn't fit their agenda.
As you say, incredible.
What are you referring to ?
