This is the most tornados I remember being generated from a hurricane. And it's making some pretty big ones, too. Typically, Florida tornados aren't really large or last very long. Wait, did I just describe Floridaman?

I'm watching the Weather Channel and there's the prototypical meteorologist goomba standing in the middle of a hurricane trying to give a report. There's absolutely no journalistic, informational, or commons sense value in it all. One of these days something heavy or sharp will take one of these guys out on camera. However, that shot of Cantore in a parking garage is a good illustration of storm surge, but he doesn't have to stand in the wind like a dufus to demonstrate it.

Which reminds me of living in the Philippines. After the first typhoon I experienced there, I noticed a lot of the locals with bandages on their arms the next day. Someone explained it's because they use so much tin sheeting for their houses and buildings. It becomes flying blades when the wind gets up. People get cut protecting themselves.
