Hey you know those IDIOTS you see on the news who are chaing the storm. . . . .
When they should be heeding emergency announcments to stay home and off the road. Well this time I was one of those chasing the storm all over Pinellas, Hills and Pasco Counties. Just wanted to share some pictures with everyone of what we saw.
Please ignore the time and date stamp, new camera and I forgot to set the time and date

Dunedin Florida just outside the clearwater area, We got hammered by waves
|
This was just the begining, look at the waves crashing in, but were we done yet????? NO
|
As I took these photos, this is what happened behind me. Was a sign it was time to leave the beach are. Look at this car port. Hmmmmm Just misses us
|
WHEN A TRAFFIC LIGHT HAS SMASHED TO THE GROUND IN FRONT OF YOU
MAYBE, JUST Maybe this should have been a sign to go home. but nope we pressed on. |
WAR ZONE INMY NEGHBORHOOD
When the neighbors in my area, many Florida good ol1 boys who are not afraid of anything started to board up thier house, guess what if they were nervous I finally figured maybe it is time to prep.!!!!! |
NOTICE THE PALM TREES BENT OVER at a 45 degree angle to the road
OK THIS WAS ENOUGH FINALLY FOR ME. When trees are crashing down and bending almost in half I figured it was time to go home. |
CLOSE CALL
THIS IS ABOUT A 100 year Old Oak tree. The ground in our area is soooooo wet the trees have nothing to hold on to. Talk about a close call. this tree fell around the corner from our house and missed both houses by Inches. Of all the pitrues I took this one amazed me the most as a few incehs either way and it could have crushed the homes. But wow what a shot.
I have more if anyone would like I took about 25 photos, including some brief movie clips. One Clip you can see me run quickly as a 15-20 wave broke right in front of me and almost took me out. |
