There are always a few hardcore ‘conches’ [self-chosen name for permanent residents of Key West] who assume they can ride out any storm. Some may survive, but they will be a sad lot. Many are older and would die anyway, so they would rather go out with a bang among familiar surroundings.
The highest point in Florida is Britton Hill which north of me near the Alabama border. At 345 feet you don’t need Sherpas. Things go down hill quickly in the 50 miles to the Gulf. I’d get my feet wet with a 15 foot surge.

]]>โThese storms, once they actually hit, are never as strong as they’re reported,โ Limbaugh claimed on his syndicated radio show. He added that โthe graphics have been created to make it look like the ocean’s having an exorcism, just getting rid of the devil here in the form of this hurricane, this bright red stuff.โ
Why would the media exaggerate the threat of a hurricane? Here’s Limbaugh’s theory:
There is symbiotic relationship between retailers and local media, and itโs related to money. It revolves around money. You have major, major industries and businesses which prosper during times of crisis and panic, such as a hurricane, which could destroy or greatly damage peopleโs homes, and it could interrupt the flow of water and electricity. So what happens?
Well, the TV stations begin reporting this and the panic begins to increase. And then people end up going to various stores to stock up on water and whatever they might need for home repairs and batteries and all this that theyโre advised to get, and a vicious circle is created. You have these various retail outlets who spend a lot of advertising dollars with the local media.
