It's just a puny TD. Florida needs the rain.

man, fuck hurricanes. I hope we don't get fucked again. This town still shows signs of damage on damn near every street corner you look at.

[Hot Like Wasabi]

Another season, hopefully nothing to bad.

People have gone apeshit bonkers around here. There's no gas anywhere and stores are out of water & most supplies.

At the same time I understand people want to be prepared, but there's no reason to pull up in a monster truck, fill that up along with the seventeen gas containers in the back.

I hate hurricane season. Its worse than that time of year after football and before baseball season. It's called Februrary and March (fuck NCAA Basketball).

This 'hurricane' is bullshit. I live in Northern Broward county and stores are out of gas/water and all that crap. I think mostly it's just people who haven't lived here very long. The news stations don't help matters either with their "Oh my god, we're all gonna' die crap.

Shinobi, you live in PBC, right?

Yep. A little south of West Palm Beach.

The gas lines the other day were about half a mile long.
