He’s an outstanding alcoholic.

We left Naples Friday and can’t tear ourselves off the weather channel. The previous owners of the house converted the lanai into a sunroom — not up to code of course — and we couldn’t secure the doors. I’m terrified that they won’t hold and the roof will blow. As far as I know, emergency services stopped responding…

Between her and the hurricane, my money’s on her. Old people never go down without a fight.

I’m wondering if it’s an inside job. Some permanently ungrayed commenter is bored and ungreying their own troll posts. Or a commenter works hard to become ungrayed only to support trolls.

That’s a great idea. I hope they do it.

Tampa I’ve been so worried about you! Thoughts and prayers may be cliche but they are both in my heart for you.

Old people can be weird. I honestly think they hit a point where they don’t care if they die. My grandmother wouldn’t evacuate some storm once. She’s only 80. I think she just figures she can take it and whatever, death has to come someday.

No kidding. National treasure. Hope you can continue the relationship. Would be interesting to hear more about her career and other adventures.

This is maybe a great idea. And in a selfish way, because I feel so much better about out of control shit if I have a sense of purpose and being in control. Hell two seconds ago I was ready to curl up in a ball and your idea made me sit up straight. I’d have to check the masthead to see which writers are around I…

Birmingham. Left late morning Thursday & got to Ocala & spent the night. Am traveling with a dog & 2 cats so it’s challenging. Left Ocala yesterday morning and went back roads to AL. Am staying here until Tuesday- my thinking was that I’d be able to get home then. But now? Not sure that I can get home or I’ll have one…

Thank you. I’ve received so much love and support. I’ll be okay. the best thing I’ve done is asking FB friends to post their funniest hurricane jokes and memes on my page. I’m ok. I’m ok. I will be okay.

Hoping they can get her safely away. I evacuated from Naples & am scared to death. Fingers crossed for your badass friend!

My people. I evacuated from Naples. Holding on to positive thoughts is incredibly hard. Hoping the best for you and your family.

My parent’s are in Naples, they were supposed to come up to St. Pete this morning, but we realized that would be worse. I might print this story to hold in my hands while I’m sheltering in my hallway tomorrow night. I need to be as badass as this broad.

Everyone I love is in the path of the storm. My Facebook feed is crazy. My poor, poor home state.

Don’t beat yourself up. She’s lucky to have you looking out for her. I’ll think of her.

Holy crap! She sounds like a tough one. Are the police able to check on her now that you all have called?

I am increasingly sure this storm is actually on a trajectory to Jeff.

I did, and I do too. Gizmodo is not at all a substitute.

Fuck you, dude.
