This is a visual so you can see what a 19/20 foot storm surge is. Water that can't be stopped.

The picture is of the Hurricane that have hit Wilmington/ Wrightsvile Beach.. You've heard of many of these. Most were Cat 1, 2 or 3 ,,   Only Hazel was a Cat 4/5 .   It had the 19 ft storm surge.   THIS IS WHAT HIT Ft Myers Fla.  It's devastating .

So  when Georgetown SC is hit ( or that area ),  thank if a 5-8 storm surge.  AND, High Tide is about noon today.  There will be damage. Probably not catastrophic ,, but it won't be pretty.

Is that the museum in WB?

How many folks lost their lives in Florida?  I saw reports of hundreds on Wednesday, but can only see 12-15 confirmed.  Maybe not looking at right websites.

We’re up to 21 right now, most in southwest Florida, a couple in central Florida. It’s going to take some time to sort through all the mess down here but I wouldn’t be shocked if we got to the 80-100 range.

Historically there are more people who die as a result of the storm after it has passed.  From driving through flooded roads to CO poisoning to chainsaw and other accidents.

One in central Florida was just from an elderly individual draining his pool into a canal during the storm. He slipped and fell down the bank and drowned.

I sure am glad our school district cancelled school today for what literally amounted to some light drizzle during the actual school day. Still just a medium steady rain here. Definitely idiotic to cancel school for this. It's even worse than the typical cancel school for flurries that the south is well known for.

The scenario here is really bad weather COULD happen, and kids, parents or teachers COULD get injured/killed...

So the choices are ...

1) Cancel school and everyone can make their own decisions on how to stay safe,

or

2) "Force" people to go to school, and the District ends up the liable party to injuries and deaths.

Gotta remember who is making the decision - most likely an elected official who knows option 1 possibly results in a few pissy people who are inconvenienced to watch their kids, and option 2 possibly results in having to hold a press conference with 5,000 people at a candlelit vigil protesting a death(s) and calling for said elected official's job.

There wasn't forecasted severe weather for this area.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks seem to be Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team). Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?
