I saw a video on Weather.com of a helicopter rescue from my fav place, Dog Island. I don't have sound on my computer so I couldn't get much more info cept to decide I don't know the people involved.
Dog island is NOT the place to be in a storm. Every time I go there I marvel at the evidence of storm surges sweeping over the island at heights of about 5' at least. This happens a lot. What kind of maroon spends a tropical storm in such a place?

The same kind of maroon's who like to stand waist deep in the ocean
looking at the tsunami heading toward them.....


Ummmm, no... With due respect I beg to differ. The folks on that Island
probably know of the impending danger or at least know they are in
immediate danger if they are there during a storm... , I am pretty sure
those vacationing folks who stood there as the water rushed out were in
awe and really didn't quite understand the danger to follow on a
beautiful Sunday morning...
