I'm very tired of moron-reporter-in-raincoat standing in the rain and wind saying things like "everyone really should be inside!" or "it's really getting wet out here!" or "you can see the trees blowing around behind me!"  |
I REALLY liked what the CBS Radio guy said this morning Katrina was the 'first hurricane to hit Florida this season' or something along those lines. I really wish he would have told the people in Pennsacola and Navarre that Arlene and Dennis were figments of their imagination.
And I haven't looked in the last couple of hours, but the NHC had Katrina headed right toward Pennsacola, with predictions that it might reach Cat 4! Considering how warm the Gulf is right now, and the fact that it didn't drop below hurricane strength when it was over land, really has me worried about those people. (I just hope it makes the 'scheduled' turn tomorrow morning, otherwise
I may have to bug out - and I just don't want to after all the fun that was the Ivan evacuation last year.
