Many instances of CNN lost feeds.
When did this happen ?
Not sure if this has ever happened since planes started flying regularly.
Jesus, saw this on reddit. It's really gone a bit mental in Miami.
Apparently the White House are sharing FAKE NEWS!
Seminole Heights checking in. Light tropical storm, nothing too bad so far. Reports of power out nearby but I still have mine. Given current track thank goodness for the decrease in power, it could pass right overhead.
WTF is this ...Jesus, saw this on reddit. It's really gone a bit mental in Miami.
I know, where the feck is Tom Cruise when we need him?WTF is this ...
Post 911? (I'm pretty sure that's just civil aviation ? )
Yeah that's possible. Forgot about that.
Haha so random! Book is miles better than the film anyway...
In all seriousness thank god it's decreasing in power.
Watching the Fox News live stream on YouTube, Jesus how many drugs are advertisers trying to peddle!!!!
Great image. Pull up the image of first few days after 9/11. The entire US airspace was empty of civilian aviation, except for portions of the Saudi royal family getting out.
Oh that fecks me off. Lawyers doing the same.
Anyone get any decent feed/videos of the Keys? The channels I'm on are showing live feeds of Ft Myers/Naples area.
That was uncool. Just after my last message, power surge, fire behind washing machine. Its out and house cleared.
This was from a few days ago
CNN were just back at the bar and its been destroyed. Thankfully the owner decided to evacuate before the storm struck.

Off to bed guys, wishing you a safe evening/night
Trees starting to fall. Florida Caftards stay safe!!
Stay safe trees starting to fall. Florida caftards stay safe!!!
Heading away from tampa, being pulled north. Heavier winds hitting SH now. Neighborhood group posting fecking looters out in this. some have had their door tried.
Got smoke cleared out and generator going. Hunkering down for some sleep.

Do you have those post-Andrew type windows ie almost bullet proof type windows?
Where are you mate? I have friends in Naples and Bonita Springs, seems bad out there (but better than worst-case scenario).
Zephryhills. It's pissing it down.
You're ~40miles away from the coast, hopefully the surge doesn't affect you too badly.
So far so good.
never mind we just lost power.
Jeez... hope you have a generator? Three more months of the hurricane season!
Reminds me of this joke:
August 31
Just got transferred with work from grey old London to our new home in Newman, Western Australia. Now this is a town that knows how to live! Beautiful, sunny days and warm, balmy evenings. I watched the sunset
from a deckchair by the pool yesterday. It was beautiful.
I've finally found my new home I love it here.
September 13
Really heating up now. It got to 31 today. No problem though. Living in air-conditioned home, driving airconditioned car.
What a pleasure to see the sun every day like this. I'm turning into a sun-worshipper.
September 30th
Had the back yard landscaped with tropical plants today. Lots of palms and rocks. No more mowing lawns for me.
Another scorcher today, but I love it here.
October 10th
The temperature hasn't been below 35 all week. How do people get used to this kind of heat? At least today it's windy though. Keeps the flies off a bit.
Acclimatising is taking longer than I expected.
October 15th
Fell asleep by the pool yesterday. Got third degree burns over 60% of my body. Missed three days of work. What a dumb thing to do!
Got to respect the ol' sun in a climate like this.
October 20th
Didn't notice Kitty (our cat) sneaking into the car before I left for work this morning. By the time I got back to the car after work, Kitty had died and swollen up to the size of a shopping bag and stuck to the upholstery. The car now smells like Whiskettes and cat Crap. I've learned my lesson though: no more pets in this heat.
October 25
It feels like a giant f*ckin' blow dryer. And it's hot as hell! The home air conditioner is on the blink and the
repair man charged $200 just to drive over and tell me he needs to order parts from f*ckin' Perth.
October 30th
The temperature's up around 40 and the parts still haven't arrived for the f*ckin' aircon. Been sleeping outside by the pool for three nights now. Bloody $600,000 house and we can't even go inside.
Why the hell did I ever come here?
November 4
Finally got the ol' aircon fixed. It cost $1,500 and gets the temperature down to around 25 degrees, but the humidity makes it feel about 30.
Stupid repairman.
November 8
If one more smart arse says 'Hot enough for you today?', I'm going to f*ckin' throttle him. F*ckin' heat!
By the time I get to work, the car's radiator is boiling over, my clothes are soaking f*ckin' wet and I smell like baked cat!
November 9
Tried to run some errands after work, wore shorts, and sat on the black leather upholstery in the ol' car. I thought my f*ckin' arse was on fire. I lost two layers of flesh, all the hair on the backs of my legs and my f*ckin' arse. Now the car smells like burnt hair, fried arse and baked cat!
November 10
Weather report! It might as well be a f*ckin' recording. Hot and sunny. Hot and sunny, Hot and f*ckin' sunny!
It's been too hot to do anything for two f*ckin' months and the weatherman says it might really warm up next week.
Doesn't it ever rain in this damn f*ckin' place. Water restrictions will be next, so my $5,000 worth of palms might just dry up and blow into the f*ckin' pool.
The only things that thrive in this hell-hole are the f*ckin' flies. You don't dare open your mouth for fear of swallowing half a dozen of the f*ckers!
November 20th
Welcome to HELL! It got to 45 f*ckin' degrees today.
Now the air conditioner's gone in my car. The repair man came to fix it and said, 'Hot enough for you today?'
My wife had to spend the $2,500 mortgage payment to bail me out of jail for assaulting the stupid f**ker.
F*ckin' Newman! What kind of sick, demented f*ckin' idiot would want to live here!
December 1
WHAT!!!! The first day of Summer!!!! You are f*ckin' kidding!
that joke is as long and as funny as atlas shrugged
wow im never moving to australia now
Just look at it's size.
I cant believe how people think climate change has got nothing to do with this.
Pure ignorance at their best.
A 1 degree increase in temperature has a very big butterfly effect.
All these hurricanes will still happen but it probably won't be as big as this.

People who have record breaking winters will think...how can it be global warming when they are freezing their nuts off. Plus people's time perspectives are different especially when you think the Earth is only 5,000yrs old.
Ye.. Scarry when people are worried about nuclear strike while all it takes is a few napalm bomb in the key points in the artic and we'd have armageddon in our hand.
Hurricanes and rising temperatures are only a minor worry. I'm worried if the artic melts into 2 then we're literraly and properly fecked
Insurance premiums surely will increase all over the board after this.
