I give jeff credit, but he's just like the rest of them with trying to get ratings and bull shite.

"Holy Cow!! Guys, that tree fell down and pulled a water line with it! Look! That's a sprinkler head right there!"

"Guys!! Holy! Look, a Walmart shopping cart 100 maybe 200 yards away from the parking lot!!"

Shepeard Smith is interviewing a guy that stayed home to ride it out on Marco Island 150 yards from the beach.

Dude is going to die.

Two hours form the eye wall is pretty much the same as it's about to hit.

Just trying to give some estimates based on radar and forward speed.

I'm watching a camera on Marco Island from HurricaneTrack.com's app. Getting worse and worse as the eyewall is moving upon them.

There is no way for me to link it, as I think it is only on their app. The app costs like $5.00 I think.

Any good feeds in Miami? They've been getting sustained winds of 60+ for about 5 hours now.
