The warning from the Mayor of Tampa was pretty stark - if you stay here, you will die. It's a big one. I was just looking at the news reports. Piles and piles of timber and other detritus lying around in piles. That's going to turn into deadly projectiles everywhere. This is going to decimate wildlife too. Mankind just destroying the environment with climate change again. Still as long as you can run you're able to run your 5 litre truck who cares.

Genie Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago It’s being reported as potentially the worst storm for 100 years, 10-15ft storm surges, 200mph gusts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted 2 hours ago VT Supporter Share Posted 2 hours ago I caught one of those live stream CCTV channels which was focusing on various areas getting hammered by the beginnings of the storm in Florida, and they have that eerie 'place is deserted' vibe after everyone has decided to get the **** out, when suddenly a US Postal Service van went past. That's a man dedicated to his job. The mail must go on. Sure, everything he manages to deliver is going to be floating in the Gulf of Mexico in 12 hours and nobody is going to be in to take deliveries anyway, but at least he tried. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago I’ve been watching videos this morning of all the people leaving florida and looking for petrol stations with “gas” as they all seem to be out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an important question though. Would a man that dedicated to his job take all precautions and dress appropriately for the weather and wear trousers, or would the precedent of wearing the uniform as it was meant to be worn override any such concerns of cold wet calves and socks on duty? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, do shorts cause men to think of having a leg tattoo, or do men with leg tattoos gravitate towards postal industry jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll bet for insurance purposes he's massively undervalued it to save premium. If he has and they apply a substantial amount of average how can he sue and try to establish the true cost when as you say he's probably massively over valued it to the banks. Mind you, I shudder to think what the excess will be for storm flood in Florida. He's going to take an insane hit either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My joke post was aimed at the troubles he had with over valuing his assets to get better rates on loans. Maybe Mar-A-Lago is one of those caught up in that scandal, I’m not sure. Does he still need buildings insurance as a billionaire? I wonder if he doesn’t have any and just stumps up what is needed as and when a natural disaster strikes.
