Hurricane Season

You Can't Reason With Hurricane Season!!! Welcome to Alberto, our favorite first F'in storm. You'd think this wouldn't bother us anymore but alas, I am still glued to NOAA and trying to get more info from the county than they care to share. Did you know there is no exact wind speed at which they close the bridges? For instance if you have loved ones in Sarasota or Tampa at say, ummm work, there is no cut & dry line as to when to tell them to jump ship and come home. They could potentially be trapped in another county. There should be a deffinate wind speed at which it is unsafe to be on the bridge and officials ie. the Mayors of our cities, elected officials for EMC, DOT and the news stations should know this line. It's kinda important!!! They can tell you at what speed the traffic is moving but is vague as to when the whole thing shuts down. The FHP makes that call... so says DOT... YIPPIE - when you may ask? Well, when 'conditions are too hazardous' would be the answer the omnipitant powers agree. Hummm, so the whole evacuate or don't idea is up to some 23 year old powertripping FHP Rookie watching the waves crashing on the Meisner with our fate in his WICKED EXPERIENCED hands. I feel good about this. Tell me again why we don't just sell it all and buy a tow truck in rural Maine? You Can't Reason With Hurricane Officials.
