Hurricane Ian expected to impact Florida (updates and related discussions)

Reminds me of this clip from an old CBS sitcom.

Where are you located? I am nervous about a pine tree in the front yard. It’s very tall and has been moving around quite a bit. I heard a loud thud and I thought it fell but it was the neighbor’s gate falling.

South Manatee county just north of Sarasota.

Odds he got the last meal kit? I'd say 0

“He’s not that much of a selfish jerk, just a narcissistic liar” isn’t the own you think it is.

Disney housekeeping just brought me a flash light just in case

 

[ToTBellHop]

Very slowly starting to weaken. Wind down to a mere 145 mph.

Surprised they aren’t in buildings but maybe they are safer out? I don’t know

At AK, I asked and the CMs said while they encourage the animals to go into their enclosures, they aren't forced. Like a house cat, they'll decide when they've had enough and want to come in.

I know it’s pretty rough down there so, hopefully, you make it through relatively unscathed.

Just saw him grab a street sign post. Oops! It blows over and he almost fell over. "I got to get over here by the cameraman." You think?

And then the camera man asks if he’s all right and Jim’s like, “Tis just a flesh wound.”

Standing rule. When Jim Cantore arrives in your home town, you should already be long gone.

No kidding. He showed up and we were snowed in for over a week

This now has me wondering whether or not a giraffe can even remain standing in 100mph+ winds.

Didn't I tell you to bring them in your room?

 

[HauntedPirate]

Saw that live. Then I was concerned the street sign was going to whip around and take him out.

Over 1 million power outages in Florida now.

Corless is live streaming from Animal Kingdom Lodge...

 

[ToTBellHop]

Just saw this outside

 

[DisneyDebRob]

And then the camera man asks if he’s all right and Jim’s like, “Tis just a flesh wound.”

Ok.. I didn’t like him before but if he’s quoting Monty Python he’s ok in my book.

He hasn’t given people enough reasons to hate him already?
