I am an asshole to most people. I don't want to give money to people living by the ocean. Why? I feel it is risky to live by the ocean and would never do it for those reasons. So now I am supposed to give my money to help them when these disasters happen at the same time when they make fun of me because I live in shit weather and have to deal with cold and snow when they are sunbathing in January? Not no but fuck no.
Yeah the midwest weather sucks in the winter but the only thing I really have to worry about is tornadoes. Very safe place to live.

Am I weird for not minding the cold/snow of the Midwest? In fact I quite enjoy the variety of seasons and don't ever see myself living in the south

I can't stand the heat but embrace the cold and snow. I like it gets cooler so soon here in the fall. Many of those people look down their nose at us though. Oh well.

I like the cold as well. It was one of the things I missed when I lived in Tennessee for 2 years. Although the nicer weather when taking the kids trick or treating was nice.

Some birds migrate.....and others stick around for the winter. Migrating is good for your tan.....and it's hard to play golf in the snow. The coastal areas are over-rated.....and have too many people. It ain't the heat....it's the humidity. FORE!

I get most bored in the summer. I'm an outside guy, and I am no fan of humidity and oppressive bug populations. When the air starts smelling like fall, I get interested, and enjoy the outdoors much much more, vs tolerating the hot blanket of summer. I've been to the ocean in a number of regions, and it stinks. Give me a deer stand or frozen lake any day.

Here's some objective information about the oil and fuel market impacts from Harvey. I've been getting phone calls over fears there will be a fuel shortage. Completely overblown. Here's what's really going on. This is from our market watching team, so there's no ratings or commercials to be sold over the drama of the content.

If any of you are interested in a real practical perspective on Harvey, Stonecold did a podcast with his habitat buddy Ted Fowler. Teddy rode it out at his place in Rockport. It hit Stonecold pretty hard because of his Texas roots, and u can hear it in his voice. If u have windshield time and you're a podcaster, give it a listen.

My wife has been absolutely freaking out for the last 4 days. Her family is in the path of Irma but in the low risk evacuation zone, so the dumbasses are not leaving. I told them to get the fuck out of there because this thing is about wind speed, not flooding, and the zones are set up on the potential risks for storm surge and flooding. This storm has the power of an F3 tornado, except it is a hundred+ miles across instead of a mile.

I asked why she wanted to go back with the storm coming. I'm guessing she had no idea it was going to be as bad as it's going to be.

It just makes me sick to see all the devastation caused by these storms. WOW! Gonna take a long time to rebuild some of these cities. Gotta wonder why anyone would continue to invest in those coastal areas. Just hard to deal with that kind of devastation.....only to get hit again and again.
Before deciding on a place in OZ.....my wife and I traveled to Florida and to the Gulf in Texas. We quickly ruled them out as this kinda schmidt happens too often for us. Glad we listened to our gut feelings on this. We spent some time in some very nice communities in FL....and everything was so crazy busy and you had to kiss some waiters ass to get a sandwich. Then the snooty SOB expected some kinda huge tip. Screw 'em.
Then we would park five blocks from the beach and carry our chairs to watch a sunset. WTF? I don't need that. To own a place on the ocean you need insane amounts of money.....and those folks are not your type.....IMO.
We went to OZ....and so glad we did. We get our "water fix" here in MN during the summer.....and enjoy some pretty good weather in OZ during the winter. Folks are mostly from the midwest....and very much like us. Fair prices and a nice way of life....IMO.
I would suppose that the OZ properties are gonna be in higher demand as a result of these recent storms. I'm not sure that is a good thing....just an observation.
I do hope some of these weather events would slack up a bit.

Not sure, but the weather terrorists are painting a very ugly pic of Irma.
Oddly, zero talk about citrus crops/supplies. When it frosts, we surely hear about it down there. A frost wrecks one year of crop. this storm will wreck 20 years of crops.
Trump signed the 8 billion Harvey relief bill...... Whats next week... the 20 billion Florida bill?
My god, this is really shitty. Kim Jung Oon is sitting in his bunker laughing at us right now.

My aunt & uncle just called this morning, they live right in Tampa a bit up the coast farther i guess. They flew to California to see his mom early last week when it was scheduled to hit Miami but nothing there. They didn't do anything, when the crap hit the fat on reports about 4 days ago for Tampa they got a neighbor to do what they could since they couldn't fly back home. Their neighbor called them today and said they lost a window, front door blew open and some water around the front of the house but all in all not terrible.
