8 am Wednesday, Florida time. Things are eerily calm and quiet.

    Tonight is movie night in Tampa Bay! They are showing “Gone with the Wind” everywhere…

    I got a screenshot of these idiots just at it was fading out, but I felt the need to share:

    Edit: Jesus, now they’re bringing their kids down to the beach. In case you were weren’t aware that there are some dumb fucking people in Florida…

      They don’t believe in climate change.
      And they don’t believe in hurricanes either.
      Trump’s gonna protect them from the libs’ HAARP attacks.

        I think I just saw a cop standing on the pier tell someone to get off the beach, so hopefully those kids are being taken somewhere else.

        Edit: Nope. Still people walking around. And there are pretty big waves at this point.

      I guess the kids and animals there are the only ones I really have any feelings of sympathies for at this point.

      At what point? There’s a long time between now and landfall. And probably not every camera is going to get destroyed at landfall. But the rain will probably be falling too hard to see anything for a while.

      But webcams have certainly lasted through other hurricanes. Remember that many of them are pretty firmly bolted down because they have to be ready for just regular old thunderstorm high winds.

      I think it was a storm in NY where I was watching a webcam where this happened: The image was shaking like mad for some time, and suddenly the road rapidly approached the camera…

    thanks for posting this. sent the link in my friends group chat and now were all watching it together like some kind of morbid Nintendo Direct, but instead of new games we’re just talking about all the people from the stream who seem to be pretending nothing is wrong
