That would have been amazing, hurricane flying. Many times over the years I've wished that I'd studied meteorology rather than just stumbling into emergency management at a late stage.
My major was Agriculture so the weather seemed a good minor... I did also take a lot of business courses also.. All 3 go hand in hand... |

Just heard from one of our contract managers in the Asheville area, he’s a mess. Moved his family to Charlotte, his mother in law and brother in law both had their homes wash away. He got together with a few people he knew and went round nearby properties with bulldozers, etc trying to help out. His head’s messed up with what he’s seen, kids running round naked looking for their parents, bodies strewn about, said it’s like a war zone up there. Keep them in mind up there because when Milton blows in it’ll suck away the media attention and people up there will be mostly forgotten about. It must be pretty awful. Reminds me of when New Orleans flooded, and for just how long all the low-income neighbourhoods were seemingly ignored and forgotten. |

And then after that horrific hit from Katrina the government at the time panicked about the next big one a few weeks later, hurricane Rita and mandatory evacuation of Texas and Louisiana caused more deaths on the road than the actual hurricane caused. It was absolute chaos. There were quite a few lessons learned after these two storms. |

There were family's from New Orleans in all the stadiums and schools in Houston and surrounding areas for days until temporary accommodation could be found. I was volunteering as an advocate at the time trying to help some of the kids who needed help. It was a traumatic experience for them all.

Sad for such a grand city and good people... |
Re: HURRICANE
Speaking from Tampa Bay at4.45am Tuesday, there is nothing happening. But a cat 5 is Forcast in the next 36 hours. Luckily I am in a non Evac zone elevation about 50 feet. I expect wind over 100mph and a foot of rain but hopefully nothing fatal! I hope the skyway bridge survives.

Re: HURRICANE
This is totally insane. Meteorologists receiving death threats.

Given that hurricanes aren't a new phenomenon, I can only assume that the underlying idiots' ancestors were the ones burning "witches" in times gone by. :unsure: |
