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.
Surprised we still have power, I know it just now made landfall in Tampa but we had less win with Helen and lost power

My cousin and his family live in Tampa Bay and decided to stay home and ride it out.

The power of forgiveness will set you free, my friend, and I think this fact has been lost on too many people these days. And I'm not applying this to people that are intent on specifically harming you physically or otherwise, but people making the best decisions for themselves that indirectly affect you in a negative way, it's better for you to not compound the situation by walking around carrying such hatred or other negative emotions toward them and the first step toward absolving yourself of that is forgiving the person who has wronged you in your mind, even if it's just internally and not spoken to the person. Have an understanding that people aren't perfect, they get caught in bad moments and say or do dumb things. Or their life experience (or lack thereof) has led them to arrive at a different world view. Forgive them for this. If you're getting heated in a political argument, for instance, just step away and cool down and forgive the person in your mind for their "wrong" opinion. You'll probably live longer as a result. Anyway, this first session is free. It'll be $100 per hour after this. And here's a related song to help ease your mind a bit in the interim. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRrT37ruAtE
