I to am an Petras fan, your to dumb too recognize there ability too grow QBs. Petras four Heisman!
We know someone (kind of, very distant acquaintance from many years ago) who moved down there a few years ago. Has spent the past few winters during very frigid temps and big snowstorms here posting beach/boating/sunset pics with captions like "How ya doin' up there Iowa?" Am guessing they'll be missing October in Iowa pretty soon.
That is Keep's doing Gonzo lost a bet
I work with someone that lives south of Tampa, He finished boarding up the house on Monday and bugged out. Staying the next couple of nights in Miami.
Last I knew, he lived in Destin which is up by Pensacola
Wasn't sure. Was the only one I could think of on this board that I knew of. I know a person who lives on clearwater beach.
I started reading this 3 times before I realized it was because of the bet.
I've got a friend in Tampa. He says his home is up away from where the flooding will be and that his house is as prepared as it can be for the storm. He also warned people to not get too wrapped up in the hype of the national media. While these storms are no laughing matter, the around the clock coverage they show to the rest of the nation is way over the top.
I was in Florida last June when a tropical storm was coming. The locals said they don't really bother with hurricanes/tropical storms unless Jim Cantore shows up. Then that's when they start to worry. They have the same sentiment that your friend has.
Not so sure about that.
Anything that's on incessantly is irritating (Queen anyone?) but in this case they're as close to performing a public service as they ever get.
Yeah I'd rather over report it so people would have more time to shelter in place properly or evacuate. If we can give an entire 2 weeks to a ceremonial queen dying it seems like trying to avoid a 2nd Katrina where people had like 48 hours of notice is not bad.
Correct, he's in that area. I wanted to meet up during one of the tournaments we had scheduled: The Emerald Coast Classic because he's in the area. COVID impacted that out so we never did.
