My heart goes out to Jamaica

Having gone through Helene in western NC, I can't even begin to imagine what they're about to go through. They're talking about western NC Helene type rainfall amounts and flooding and then add in class 5 hurricane winds on top of that. Seems like that island is gonna get razed to the ground because during Helene we really didn't have that bad of wind until near the end of the storm and even then it wasn't nothing crazy. Basically just a run of the mill windy day type of wind and still yet trees were going down all over the place. Sounded like a warzone outside from all the trees falling because the ground was so saturated. They're about to go through pure hell and my heart goes out to them. All the people talking about how the whole island should've been evacuated are dumbasses who can't even begin to grasp the logistics of evacuating and island of 3 million people.

Me and swmbo been talking about this today.  I really feel bad for what those folks are and will be going through.  I was last there close to 40 years ago but I bet it hasn't changed all that much.  The majority of the folks living there then were 3rd world poor and losing what little they have is going to be extremely hard for them.

Devastating. Mom’s family is from Ocho Rios which was mostly spared, thankfully. I will say this, if you’ve never seen an angry and motivated Jamaican, you don’t know the true meaning of no F’s given. Hardest working people I’ve ever known. This storm doesn’t know just who it messed with. They’ll get poo done.

      HOF Leaks.

      By The NFL Shield At Midfield · Posted

      The Colts FO have always been a bunch of bitch-made complainers.  The basketball score football we got for a few years before two high safety coverage started shutting down the deep passing game originated with Dungy and Irsay whining to the competition committee about the Patriots manhandling Harrison and Wayne.

      HOF Leaks.

      He didn't make it for the same reason Luke didn't and the same reason Smitty never will unless they change the procedure again. This new rule of needing to get 40 of 50 votes in the final round of voting is just sooooooooooooo dumb At that point it's already down to people who should be in the HOF and all it takes is a handful of split votes to keep more than worthy players out of the HOF in any given year.  So unless there is collusion to among the voters to make sure only 9 or less people are not voting for certain players, we're going to keep seeing this happen every year, and we'll see more than worthy players never end up getting in at all. All it takes is for 20 of the 50 voters to split their vote and it keeps both players out that year.  And when that final vote is by voting for 5 guys out of 7, it's going to happen every year unless they start colluding to make sure certain guys get in when they should.
