Hurricane Milton Tears The Roof Off Tropicana Field, Which Was Set Up To Be A First Responder Base Camp, After Making Landfall In Florida

Take a minute and say a prayer for the people of Florida if you can, they sure need it. Hurricane Milton made landfall at around 8:30pm tonight near Siesta Key, Florida, and though it's been downgraded to a Category 3, the devastation is immense. I lived in Tampa for 4 years and my friends down there tell me the storm is as intense as you would imagine. Power outages have run rampant, leaving over 1 million people currently without electricity. Videos of the storm surge are spectacularly terrifying. Areas dry one minute are 10 feet underwater seemingly in the next. Cars, homes, and businesses are being drowned in the raging storm waters as winds of 120+ miles per hour send trees and debris flying. https://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1844018960322441598 Perhaps the most startling image so far is that of Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, home of the Tampa Bay Rays. As Hurricane Milton rolled in, the MLB stadium long decried as one of the worst in professional sports did its best to hang on, but the roof made of Teflon-coated fiberglass couldn't withstand the wind's force and tore into thin strips. Take a look at these videos: https://twitter.com/PageWebber/status/1844211375729754433 Obviously that's horrible but the story gets worse... Yesterday, Governor Ron DeSantis announced that Tropicana Field would be used as a base camp for first responders and cleanup crews, meaning both people and equipment alike are now exposed to the elements, not to mention all the well-laid rescue plans can be tossed in the trash given their homebase is literally being torn to pieces. https://twitter.com/bubola/status/1844215943909765448?s=46&t=MJsZPDU4NSclKj0QlsD9vQ Whoever decided to put tarps on a baseball field near a hurricane prone area needs to rethink their career but the fact that the people risking it all to save those in danger now have no place to regroup and refuel… Read More

Morgan Wallen & Theo Von Visit With Hurricane Helene Victims In East Tennessee While Helping With Food Drive

Helping out his community. I know that much of the attention the past couple days has been on Hurricane Milton, the "once in a century" storm that's barreling down on Florida. But much of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and east Tennessee are still working to dig out from the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene a couple weeks ago. The damage is catastrophic in many towns across the southeast, and so far at least 230 people have been confirmed dead from the storm. But through the tragedy, many have rushed to provide aid and do whatever they could to help their neighbors begin the long process to recover. Today, Morgan Wallen held a food & water drive in Knoxville, partnering with Second Harvest Food Bank of East Tennessee to collect bottled water and food for those in need. And the country superstar showed up with some friends to help out and visit with those in the community who were impacted by the storm. Video shared by Radio Greenville shows Morgan, along with comedian Theo Von and University of Tennessee baseball coach Tony Vitello chatting Patty Kell, a resident of east Tennessee who lost her home in the flooding and had to be rescued by boat after the waters began to rise. He also stopped by another resident's home that was lost to the flood, and wrote a Bible verse on the studs inside the walls that had been ripped out. Along with the supplies they collected, Morgan has also released a limited-edition "HELP" shirt available on his website, with 100% of the proceeds from the shirt going to the Morgan Wallen Foundation to support the Second Harvest Food Bank of East Tennessee and MANNA FoodBank of Western North Carolina. There's also a link for those who wish to donate to Morgan's… Read More

“Haven’t Even Spilt My Coffee Yet” – Everyone’s Favorite Florida Man, Lieutenant Dan, Posts Live Update As He Rides Out Hurricane Milton In His Sailboat

LIEUTENANT DAN HAS TIKTOK. It's about time that everyone's favorite Florida Man cut out the middle men and started posting on his own. And just in case you've missed out on this whole story, let me get you caught up real quick. There's a one-legged-man in the Tampa Harbor trying to ride out Hurricane Milton in his 20-foot sailboat. And the whole country - if not the world - is rooting for him. For the most part, its been other social media accounts posting about the man, whose actual name is Joseph Malinowski. Some people on social media have likely been refreshing every chance they get trying to get more updates about Lieutenant Dan, and now, it appears the best way to hear about the Florida Man is straight from the source. By the time you are likely reading this, Hurricane Milton - now considered a Category 3 hurricane - is hitting the west coast of Florida. The Tampa area has been in the crosshairs of the storm for quite some time now, and funny enough, the certified Florida Man that's captivated the world has his sailboat parked right in the Tampa Harbor (he's insisted that God told him to be there for this). And in a live update we just got a little bit ago from Joseph Malinowski himself, things were all good in his sailboat about an hour and a half before the hurricane was set to hit the area: "They're saying the storm is about an hour and a half out, and if that's the case, even its double what it is now, that's not a problem. I'm not free floating. I've got my bow secured (to the dock), so I can only go so far from the dock... No structural damage, I'm not taking on any… Read More

Luke Grimes Says Fans Won’t See The ‘Yellowstone’ Finale Coming: “Never Would Have Come Up With This One”

Soon enough, Yellowstone fans will get to see their favorite show come to a bittersweet end. The back half of Yellowstone's season five will finally begin airing in November of this year. It’ll be a six-episode installment, and after that, the Yellowstone universe’s staple show will be wrapped up. Fans can find some comfort in the fact that there are still spinoffs in the works - and a couple of different additional Yellowstone-universe shows being teased. For those that don't like to wait, you are more than welcome to read about the ending that leaked online not too long ago. We'll obviously have to wait and see if it all ends up being true, but if it is, the series finale is bound to be one of the wildest conclusions to a story that TV has ever seen. Luke Grimes - who plays Kayce Dutton in the show - assured fans that the ending will be satisfying for the Yellowstone faithful when speaking with Newsweek. He also stated that Taylor Sheridan was really "in his bag" when he brought the whole story to an end, saying: "I think true to Yellowstone's form, (fans) won't be able to see it coming. I feel like that's the kind of beauty of Taylor's writing and it's always so surprising. It's never what you thought it was going to be. But I think everyone will be really satisfied with, you know, if I would have tried to come up with an ending, I never would have come up with this one, but it's the perfect one. Because I'm clearly not a writer and even if I was, it would not be as good as Taylor. But yeah, I think it'll just be very satisfying because it's, I mean, that's what you want. That's what you… Read More

“16 Years Old, A Virgin… I Was Going To Change It That Day” – The Story Of How Viral Florida Man “Lieutenant Dan” Lost His Leg Is A WILD One

What a story... somehow, it's even crazier than I could've imagined. And I imagined it being pretty dang wild... If you've been on social media at all this week, and especially TikTok, you've probably seen clips and interviews with a man in Florida, a viral sensation at this point, who goes by the name "Lieutenant Dan." The one-legged-man currently calls a 20-foot sailboat home, and he's apparently refusing to leave the area with Hurricane Milton currently about to make landfall, because God told him to come there in the first place. His argument is that he's on a boat, and when the water starts to rise, he and his sailboat will just rise with it: @terrenceconcannon @JoeSea ♬ original sound - Tampa Terrence Obviously, there were mandatory evacuation orders in the Tampa Bay area, where his boat is on the bay, in order to keep Floridians safe. I saw another video of a police officer stopping by the other night telling Dan he needed to leave, though as of this afternoon, with weather conditions quickly getting worse, he is still there in his boat. @tiffanytravels07 @Reed_toney did a great job keeping us informed on Lt. Dan @JoeSea . Now all we can do is keep him in our prayers.🙏🏽 #milton #tampa #liuetenantdan #hurricane #weatherchannel #stayfafe ♬ Inspirational - neozilla He did say that he'd be willing to leave on one condition: that he have a woman to hang out with (I'm keeping it PG), until the hurricane was over. Unfortunately for him, it seems like that didn't exactly work out, and hopefully he can quite literally weather the storm and come out unscathed. Of course, he got his nickname from the internet recently because of the fact that he got he looks like Lieutenant Dan from the movie Forrest Gump since he… Read More
