That sounds like some serious surveillance. You really should try reporting it. Although they have their flaws, you shouldn't paint all of the agencies with a broad brush.
I have lost the connection from the live feed you posted.
SURE.
I loved Taiphoon days off in Taipei.
Of course, with mostly concrete buildings and being on an inner court yard on the 2nd floor of a 10 story building, I was in a pretty good position.
UPDATE: On the states Atlantic coast, 10 Navy ships from Mayport Naval
Station near Jacksonville were sent out to sea, the Navy said
Friday. At Cape Canaveral, traffic was bumper-to-bumper at noon as
Kennedy Space Center employees left work early. All but a skeleton
crew of 200 of the centers nearly 13,000-person work force was
sent home, or told to stay home, and the space shuttle hangars and
the massive Vehicle Assembly Building were sealed tight.
Also ... Two traffic deaths were reported during the storm in
Florida. One of these involved a woman who was driving south on Interstate 75 at 4 p.m., lost control of her car and crashed into a tree near the Bee Ridge Road exit in Sarasota.
This storm is wild. These storms usually start to disorganize over land - this one doesn't seem to be.
Reports of roof collapse at Deep Creek Rehab and Nursing Center in Port Charlotte, no known injuries.
Roof collapse at Fire Station No. 12.
Numerous trailer homes destroyed.
At Charlotte County Airport, winds tore apart small planes and blew out the windows of a sheriffs deputys car. Hangers were collapsed and roofs were torn off buildings. The only building that did not suffer major damage was the Airport Authority building.
The roof of the countys emergency operations center in Punta Gorda also blew off.
COLLIER:
Officials said a good portion of the county was without power and there was some flooding. No serious reports of damage.
DESOTO:
Roof blown off at Turner Agri-Civic Center, a hurricane shelter where 1,4000 people had gathered; no known injuries.
Large sections of U.S. 17 are peppered with down utility poles; some parts of the road completely blocked.
LEE:
Downed power lines, numerous downed trees and some roofs torn off by high wind.
A tornado touched down in southwest Cape Coral, damage still being assessed.
Cape Coral city hall sustained enough damage that employees hunkered down there and had to relocate to other parts of the building.
Cape Coral hospital sustained significant damage to parts of its roof, windows and doors. There were no injuries reported.
About 120,000 customers were without power.
Eyewitness video showed the roof of a Fort Myers post office ripped off. Officials say no one was in the building.
PINELLAS:
No damage reported, no power loss.
HILLSBOROUGH:
No damage reported, no power loss.
One of our reporters just arrived in Arcadia and he's doing a live TV report. He says that the town (of about 30,000 or 40,000) has been devastated. Loads of damage. That's odd for that city ... it's normally the place people evacuate to from the coast when a hurricane is coming. Now it gets leveled by a Category 4.
It should still be working, I am connected right now. I think there are some problems, likely a heavy load on their servers right now.

JellyJam. I have already posted one of your posts to a Charley thread. May I relay other info that you post? I will give you credit.
I'm surprised with how slow reports are coming in about widespread damage.
Go ahead and post - no need to credit me.
Thank you. I want Freepers to stay in the know...
You a news director at a station or something?
nope ... an editor at the Sarasota newspaper.
Re #1527
Ex....your daughter and her new husband will be in my prayers tonight and until this thing passes.
Please let us know if we can do anything more.
God Bless.
Thank yo Pegita for your wonderful prayers!
I know in my heart that our Lord answers all prayers. Sometimes the answer is no. We must always accept the fact that our Lord brings trials and tribulations into our lives to make us stronger.
All is done for the glorification of our Lord. It is not for us to understand. At least, not yet.
