Re: Impressive Wind

Did you happen to see what steve lyons said about the TV crew in Port Charlotte.
They were filming at the water's edge in winds so high they had to kneel down.
Steve Lyons said "those guys don't have any business being outside in that with a landfalling hurricane"
Next time they showed the same crew they were doing a live shot and got pounded by a large amount of 20 ft long pvc water pipe. Everything hit the ground, camera and all.
Steve lost his "cool" on that crew, never saw him get mad before.
**Folks if Charley is still south of you. Stay at home or in a safe building. You can't see tornadoes, fallen tress and wires at night.**
