Hahaha, that's so cute!

We actually started out the year in drought, had burn bans in place.  Then our normal summer weather patterns kicked in, a little bit late, and we made up for it,  now we'll be over for the year.  I think normal yearly is around 50" in the area of the state I live.

It's 5.8" now.  As of midnight last night.  Thankfully we live on basically a big sand hill, known as the Wekiva recharge basin, which basically is a big sand filter for our Floridan Aquifer.

My bet is on stupid. Couldn't take the pets, left them with food and water outside where they could relieve themselves, never thinking about a storm surge or flooding. But improvements to the collective IQ would be welcome.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Maybe, but that is a level of stupid that would be hard to achieve. If they are running away because they fear for their safety, why would they chain up a dog and leave? They must have some idea of what they are doing.


I know for a fact that there are boat-owners praying that their boat gets destroyed in the storm. They are crap boats in need of repair and they can't sell them. So, they tie them up where they think the storm is going to hit and hope for the best.


Whether or not this same philosophy applies to dog owners, I can't say.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.

Oh, I try not to underestimate stupid, but every time I think I have a handle on that, some idiot comes along and digs the bar down another notch.

You may be right about the insurance thing, but that's no way to treat your dog. Some of them may have been left to keep the looters at bay, too. Not knowing just what sort of options were available to the animals, it's hard to say.

Weather underground shows Irma at tropical storm strength in the panhandle.  Hope it's accurate.

Yep.  I read somewhere that a woman was caught trying to break into a sporting goods store.  Guess she really, really, really needed a new pair of Nikes.   *****rollingeyes*****

My mom, on the east coast in Tequesta, has gotten 15" of rain so far.  Storm should be mostly heading past her by now.  We're a little further north and west.  Storm just starting to get here and seeing some winds and power flickers.  Our rain is at 6.7" now.  And outside humidity is 99%.

The local news satellite shows the dang thing going straight north right now, so it's probably coming closer to us than we thought earlier today.

I think that it headed for you when I stopped praying it continue west and started praying for you to be younger so maybe you should go outside and stand in the rain and see if it makes you feel younger.

I agree. My wife's cousins brought 8 birds and four dogs in addition to 13 people when they left Tampa.
