Ok the rain has come and gone...What a waste...The damn Brian Norcorss Weather Wannabees (Brian Norcross is the famous one from Huricane Andrew) have to get everyone worked up. I really think these weatherguys have to live here in Florida for at least 5 years before they are allowed to do a live broadcast of a hurricane. In any event what we got was a little wind and a little rain. Some of the stuff thats being reported on the news is coincedental information, like 4 babies born during hurrican, well hell they would have been born with or without the hurricane. Overpass on highway collapses, well lousy construction, the only benefit is the highway below was empty because of the hurricane.....it still would have collapsed. Oh then theres the fact that peoplle went home early, I can understand that, but then they declared today a holiday, hell they want a holiday sure....but they shouldnt be paid for their day off! I think I'm becoming cynical in my old age, but after 30+ years of hurricanes, I've seen just about all of it, and the bottom line is if your smart, and play safe you come out unscaved. There are people here that tomorrow will call their insurance agents....cryng I lost this or that, hell again they use the hurricane as an excuse, no wonder the companies dont want to insure here!
