I can't believe what I'm seeing... people taking a stroll on the beach while a hurricane is knocking at the front door...

Hurricanes like this are not once-in-a-century events. I'd think long & hard before choosing to make my home in such a region.

Every place has it's risks, some places are more prone to earthquakes, others tornados, or floods. At least with hurricanes you get advance warning, you don't get those with earthquakes.

My brother and his wife were evacuated from St. Pete. 8 foot surge expected to hit his house (he spent close to 24 hours sandbagging and putting up plywood). They're sheltering with my parents in Sarasota (8 miles inland and about thirty feet up).

I'm sure everyone will be fine but I'm guled to the weather channel.

Looks like it's moving almost due north now.

Actually, I HAVE family that have lived right in the heart of hurricane country most of their lives (the Keys) and they'd never live anyplace else.

Bush's fault.

Der Spiegel (the "serious" and "respected" German magazine) pretends that this tornado is Charlie ...

Mike, do you have a link for that? My (addicted to weather) sister just got high speed so I'm trying to put together some good links for her.

[Truth666]

Seeing the "allied" foreign press reporting about events in your country is a quick way to understand how media works today ...

How do you access it for free? I have Comcast broadband (and digital cable).

[LubyGee]

Hi neighbor! We're on 21st Ave N near St. Pauls Catholic School. I'm freeping until the power goes out!!

[mhking]

Go to Comcast's portal page (I think it's at http://home.comcast.net but don't quote me), and check either the news or the video page.

There are worse natural disaster than hurricanes. Tornadoes & forest fires scare me more.
