mellielong said:Dad and I are laughing at the news folks on the Weather Channel. When they get to the point where they can't stand up, I start laughing. The one couldn't face the camera anymore because the rain pelting him hurt so much.At least a lady from the Orlando channel (it was broadcasting on one of our independent TV stations) admitted that her mom was unhappy with her but that it "was her job". She also noted they were in a bit of an alcove formed by the buildings. But it seems so hypocritical of them to tell people to evacuate while they're on the beach.
Okay, one other guy was just outside a Hilton hotel on the beach and he said the they asked about the windows since many of the windows faced the ocean. The hotel said the windows were built to withstand 150 mph winds! Also, Florida Power and Light was housing their crews in the same hotel so it must be fairly new and had to follow all the latest building codes. Still, I would be nervous.
