Maybe we could rank all-time hurricanes that have hit the sunshine state?

Someone would want to then rank tropical storms,  you know the "jv" of tropical systems.  Hey if you evacuate head up to Lake City I'm sure Columbiafan will have a place for you.

Thanks for looking out Columbiahighfan2016.  I'm in Coconut Creek, FL which is North Broward County and about 6-7 miles from the beach.  It is lightly raining and a just a little breezy.  They got us down here again, Columbia....Channel 7 news, Home Depot and Publix are laughing at all of us down here- AGAIN. Now watch the next hurricane that comes will be taken lightly , the media will not pump it up nearly like this one and it will nail us.

 

 

Truth be told we have only had one devastating Hurricane in Broward in the last 15 years that has really affected us IMO.  Only Wilma which actually came from the SW and through the Everglades actually messed us up.  Wilma actually gained strength over the land because the Everglades is humid, flat and the water is very, very warm.  Kind of rare circumstances for a powerful hurricane.  But that was one that was not taken nearly as serious nearly as this Matthew hurricane.  Bottom line is people panic 3-4 days before the storm gets close and it is simply not necessary.  The media is mainly what causes mass hysteria .

 

Keep in mind that my comments above pertain mainly to my opinion of the way it was handled in  SFL (more specifically Broward County),  and I encourage the rest of the state to take all hurricane warnings and watches very seriously.

No one should take it lightly, the one time you take it lightly it ends up getting you

 

Just ask New Orleans

 

They had several near misses and then they got Katrina and it lead to one of the worse hurricanes in U.S. history

      Lake Minneola New HC Quit After 3 days

      By Floridaatlantic1 · Posted

      So your saying if a team has like 15 transfers in one season,  I need to have like a team of investigators and video tape to realize that the coach is recruiting. Come on. The truth is all of the super teams recruit and yes some players come because of the winning culture. I know its impossible to get full proof  on everyone that cheats and even when they do have evidence and catch teams red handed like Winter Park.....NOTHING HAPPENED. Its the reason they should have competitive promotion and demotion so all the super teams who do bend (CHEAT) the rules get to beat each other up.

      I’m not saying it doesn’t occur. What I am saying is that everything is case by case so if you are accusing a specific coach/team of cheating, I would at least like to see the evidence of the accusation. Because if you don’t then you are basically defaming them with gossip

      Are you saying illegal recruiting does not occur in Florida ?     Wake up and take your blinders off

      Dang shame. Wonder what it was about. Wonder if the principle was meddling out of his element.    There was a story near me about Land O Lakes High. Before the season, 2 freshman were slap boxing and other kids were filming it. One kid was obviously winning over the other with the kids in the background cheering it on. So when it got leaked, it was interpreted as hazing. As if all the kids in the background were sanctioning it.    Without one second of investigation the principal shut the entire football program down. Varsity season cancelled over 2 freshman slap boxing. It caused a shit storm. Local news swarmed the school. Parents outraged. Protesting outside the office demanding the principal be fired.    They finally asked some quick questions and it was determined to be exactly what it was originally said it was. Football was reinstated but JV missed the first game over it.    The principal was some punk pencil neck who looks like he never played a sport in his life and many people came out and said he had it out for the football program and he was the same way at his old school.    I say all that to say is this a similar case of some pencil neck principal who never played sports trying to undermine and butt in to something that they are way out their element on?

      Word is, Coach Banks the former head coach was escorted off campus last week after a heated discussion with the principle. from what i have been told this stems from banks talking to the paper about the program.
