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.

    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
