StagedI have one friend who has had a rant going on Facebook for days about the dangerous stunts newspeople are trying to get camera face time. One clip he posted a day or so ago had a female reporter who is taken out in mid-spiel by a stop sign coming from the left so fact that it's just a blur...

That's it. It's not the staged hit on Holly Ellenbogen. However, it may be a copycat from the earlier clip. They made it look a lot more realistic, if so...
we were out 4 days. they are finally back in today, power was restored to the school at 10pm last night. there were crews from north carolina, utah and alabama working near the school yesterday. my daughter's school is two doors down from our friend's brewery that was also without power 4 days. several large oak trees fell and took out about 3 blocks worth of power lines shutting down the school and 4-5 small businesses. one of the business owners also had a tree fall on their house, so they are going to be in for a rough ride.
My company is providing a lot of the meals down there.... still can't get into the keys....

I owned my first home and lived there from '93-'95 in Lehigh Acres (Country Club Estates!)....right in the middle of your screen shot above! YIKES!Family in Fort Myers is all well after the storm. They rode it out in their respective homes as the eye wall passed right through their neighborhood slamming them with nearly 130mph winds for an hour. (Clocked over 125 on RadarScope on my phone at some point during the storm). "Thankfully" my grandmother died back in December so they didn't have to deal with a 96 year old woman and power outages, water shortages, etc. She might not have made it.
We were without power for all of two hours here and some debris in our yard, but even locally we got off lightly. Lots of areas in Athens were without power for a couple of days, and had large trees go down.
Thanks. She lived a long life (she was 96 when she died). She was a wonderful woman, so much so I named my daughter after her. They never got a chance to meet, unfortunately, as my daughter was only about four months old when she died and I was planning on making a trip down by myself with my daughter to have them meet. My grandmother did see her on FaceTime and saw countless pictures I sent my aunt to show her, so she was most certainly aware of her namesake and upon hearing the date my daughter was born, she said "Now we have reason to celebrate August 3rd" (background, she had a son [so, my uncle] who died at 21 years old on August 3rd back in the 60s, and had dreaded that day ever since).
Wow, Hats off to you. That is an insane amount of work over 30 days
thanks for the work you do. near our office, we had crews from alabama, utah, and pennsylvania.
I would go if I could find a company I like that is going.
Yes we were at the Ft. Myers-Naples Dog Track and all of us were staying in tents and sleeping on cots.
Thanks man. I feel 30 years older after this trip for sure. Never worked back to back storms like that, that were so strong. Seen my share of chaos for a while..
