The Coast Guard Goes Inland

Frances' parting shot to Hillsborough County was a flood

The Coast Guard went house to house along the Alafia River asking people to come go with them

The houses are built on high foundations and this river's not done rising yet. Snakes and rats will be moving in on top of people if they stay

My bro works for TECO and while checking power lines rode over a house trailer with his boat and didn't have to lift the kicker (outboard motor to our city friends)

I can believe it, John. I've never seen Tampa looking like this.

That dawg looks like a bloody cattle-dog pup- is there nothing of our culture you won't steal?
(Glad he's OK).

Tiny looks like some kind of coondog to me.
Dogs gotta ride.
