....we were at the same place yesterday, but different times, so we have similar reports and pictures.
I arrived at 11AM and folks were gathering steadily...
...The group of approx. 30 (& growing) were enthusiastic, especially when the truckers went by down below and sat on their horns....
..plus many cars gave us the thumbs up and waves and horns.
The group of us were calm, patriotic and courteous.
It was close to 93 degrees.
After 1/2 hour, while I was there, a 58 yr old woman passed out....and didn't move except for tremor in her hand....
..it was scary and we tried to make her as comfortable as possible until the ambulance arrived.
I still don't know what was wrong....perhaps a seizure....perhaps a sun stroke?
After this happened, folks were more subdued, naturally.
More folks continued to come up to the overpass, however, and after about an hour, I left.....
..just missing shove_it (otter) as he arrived about 12:30.
I had also protested the day before in Viera at the government center, and you can find that on this same page with pictures.....there is also a video, but I don't think it got posted.
....I'm in the 4th and 5th picture facing the camera with a flag & a turquoise umbrella...(it was really hot!)....Guenevere
That sounds like a heat stroke. She didn’t realize that she was getting too warm until she passed out. She wasn’t hydrated enough and it looks like there’s no shade. Freeping is hard work. There’s no doubt about it. Thank everyone for standing up now before it’s too late.
