Ooookay, that's super grim.
Tampa mayor on CNN, verbatim: "And I can say without any dramatization whatsoever, if you choose to stay in one of those evacuation areas, you're gonna die."
Whether she's personally roaming the zone with an AK-47 to see to it, is not clear.
She'll unleash 2000 alligators just to be sure.
Is an aligatoricaine more dangerous than a sharknado?
That’s hard to say…let’s go with “gatorcane”.
...i'll just take Bearphoon.
I choose to believe she is
She's cleaning up Tampa's litter problem... with a vengeance.
That is one of the most practical suggestions I've ever seen.
They could tape their documents to their bodies, just wrap enough tape around. Sharpie may wash off.
Yeah I think that was said for dramatic effect. I hope it worked, because I am not confident in permanent marker on skin submerged lasting very long
My cell number stayed on my ~toddler~~runner's back while she played in the water features in Central Park, but after a soapy tub at the hotel it was pretty faded.
I've had sharpie marks last on my hand after several handwashings trying to get it off.
Copied from a top level comment I made about the same quote:
This isn't a new suggestion. I remember this being told to people staying in spite of evac orders for a previous nasty storm, iirc it was Key West hearing it that time. It scared the shit out of some people back then and convinced them to leave, sadly the more times you hear something like that the less impact it has. And your neighbor managed to ride it out last time they said that...
That what FREEDOM means.
If you die, you die. Might as well make it easier to identify your corpse.
