Really, we should not return the power in Orlando. Let it die already. We could have bombed it and acted like Irma was the worst storm ever.

No.

Gatorland is a national treasure.

Orlando stays.

He's fine. No power. I guess he doesn't have a smart phone.

Don't worry, BLM is down there restoring power and feeding people after they rescued them and protected them from looters.

A handful of people died in the Orlando area.

I know the eye passed over my Mom northwest of there, so Orlando must have got hit with that dirty side of the eye wall.

From the video footage coming out of the keys this afternoon, I suspect there are a lot of bodies to be found of people who stayed behind. That video I showed earlier of that guy staying behind to upload video of the storm was shot from Big Pine Key. Big Pine Key is fucking gone. They can't even get in there. The storm surge probably took out the first floor of that house he was in. They are saying the canals rose by 15 feet in some places.

Also, that fucking thing blew through here last night. I am not even in Tennessee and the wind gusts early this morning were pretty strong. The whole condo complex was littered with tree debris. Fucking tropical storm in the Appalachian mountains, man.

Maybe there is something to this climate change stuff. :lol:

So, they are airing (or maybe it's already over) on all the major network a call-in for all hurricane relief fundraising called Hand In Hand:
