Checking on our Florida Friends

So ... have any of you guys heard anything else about that guy that went out kite boarding (or some such thing) during the storm and got blown back up on the beach, then blown across the street and into a cement wall? I've always kind of wondered about the mental state of people who go out to participate in "water fun" while there's a potential hurricane coming, but to each his own I guess.

Saw that on the news this morning he got banged up pretty good!   Round these parts, haha, we dont have waves but we do have "Storm Chasers"  they are just as crazy when the tornadoes are in the area.

I saw the video of that. Crazy!!! I heard he was in critical condition.

That reminds me of a routine by comedian Ron White.

He talks about some 50 year old guy who is in the best shape of his life is going to lash him self to a pole and take the worst a hurricane has to offer. White says, "Listen, fella. It's not that the wind is a-blowin'. It's what the wind is a-blowin'. If you get hit by a Volvo, it doesn't matter how many sit-ups you did that morning."

Who knows, maybe the guy saw "Point Break" too many times.
