I woulda thought the floor fan set on “high” would get it done. Apparently not.

I need to learn to say no more often.

Got screwed outta a SUV last night.

A dumbazzed friend of a friends dumbazzed wife comes rolling in on me here where I got all these rigs stored.

Truck he came in on goes roaring away, they just dropped him off.

He comes up a panicky sayin' he's gotta have a car, he needs to get two counties over and fast.

He works for Pike and they'd been moving their trucks all day staging them to go rippin' down south to rebuild all the powerlines the storm took out.



Seems Mr.Dumbazz had left his lunch bucket in one of the trucks and his car keys were in it.

Of course I've got every thing with wheels of everybody's here that needed stored and everything is full of gas.

That's why I'm camped out here like a guard dog.

The dudes story was just full of holes, says he'll be back in a couple hours "unless" he gets his call out and has to head south, "but" if that was to happen, they'd let him come home first to grab clothes.
He wasn't a good lier, I was just ready to tell him to FO when his wife called me with the please, please, please schit, she's at work at the hospital.

I let them wear me down and tossed him the keys to a little Chevy SUV I had sitting here.

He was no sooner gone and the wife calls me back, she's like 'I dunno how he's gonna get in the house if his keys are in his lunchbox two counties over', I ask, why's he gotta get in the house? She says he's gotta get his clothes.

He wasn't taking calls anymore, her's or mine and of course he never came back.

Prick was lying all along, I'm sure his car is somewhere close by and outta gas, he'd got his call-out to go south before he came to see me.

That's how ya burn bridges, they'll get nothing ever again.

Christ only knows where he's left the SUV or when he might get back from South Florida.

Maybe you didn't use enough pins and needles?

At the risk of boring the crap out of people on this otherwise interesting thread, I’m just gonna briefly point out that “voodoo” is a West African word, from the language of the Ewe (“Eweh”) people, of present-day Ghana and Togo.

Wind, cold, and about a normal amount of rainfall, is all we got. Still wet, cold, and rainy outside. Some palm fronds are on the ground from the wind.

Hundreds of people in Florida's Lee County were killed when Hurricane Ian slammed the region, a sheriff said Thursday.

“The fatalities in the hundreds," Sheriff Carmine Marceno told "Good Morning America."


"There are thousands of people that are waiting to be rescued. And again, cannot get a true assessment until we're actually on scene assessing each scene, and we can't access people that's the problem," he added.

The devastating statement came less than 24 hours after the Category 4 hurricane battered Florida's west coast, leaving much of the Fort Myers and Tampa area in ruins.

Someone else will have to post those. I'll take a pass.

Damn 😕

Yep. Sounds like a pretty bad situation. Prayers for those folks down there.

Orlando is not on any shore. He's fine.

Water hazards at Disney Golf?

Orlando is a mess. Comms may be down in that area for quite some time.

Thanks for the update.

You reap what you sow when it comes to hurricanes. Just a few years ago Hurricane Michael wiped out Port St Joe and Mexico Beach, Florida, both places have built back bigger than ever. It's only a matter of time before both places are wiped out again. Common sense isn't common anymore.

Haven't heard from my friend in Rotunda since they were in the eye. I sure hope their house is situated on ground higher than the storm surge.

My family is safe. No power, but safe.

I’m hearing reports of fatalities here in Collier and also Lee county. Major storm surge caused the biggest problem.

When you’re warned of possible 12’ to 18’ surge and choose not to leave its on YOU!

We are already getting wind from this storm here in N.C. I heard the wind chimes on the front porch pick up during the night. The energy from these storms is incredible.

What a lying chkunt.
