No offense to you or your people, but i spent a few months last year working in the Philippines and i cannot express to y’all how absolutely wretched the food was.. both the local Filipino food, and their versions of Western food.. it was so bad that for my last month there, i ate every meal from a TGI Fridays in the mall, and from a Costco pizza place…. I dont know how Thailand does it , but their food is the polar opposite- it’s like NOLA in that it’s really hard to find a bad meal in Thailand, and it’s about 1/10th the price of food in America.. they are both ‘developing nations’, so i dont get it.. anyway, sorry to derail the thread .

I don’t know about in the Philippines, but when I was in the SF Bay Area it was pretty common and was quite good. Especially Chicken adobo and sosig sisig

Record number of tornado warnings for Florida in one day. And I also heard No. 2 in the nation second to the Alabama tornado outbreak.

Several tornadoes touched down in central and southern Florida ahead of Milton making landfall Wednesday night.

Do you eat balut?

I've had balut, but I really didn't like it. I ate in my first time visiting the Philippines on New Year's Eve 2010. My wife will crave it every now and then buy some here in the states, but when we are in the Philippines, they eat it all the time. Usually there's a guy walking down the street every night selling balut.

I saw someone share your post on Twitter. How fast were the winds going at that time, around 130mph?

Just saw @bclemms video in this Guardian article as well - https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2...-apart-roof-of-tampa-bay-rays-tropicana-field - except they've embedded someone else's tweet resharing the video, so the credit for the video isn't visible (you have to click through to the tweet to see it). Bit poor.

Unfortunately he ( and others ) have been fighting this fight for some time now. If the platforms dont take measures/action, very little they can do to thwart this piracy.

It was in my work chat today too. I still get a little smirk when someone I “know” from here is crossing over to the other sections of my life.

Slight tangent, but I have been close friends with John Hendrix for years, and it’s still crazy to see his tweets in SSF posts. Kind of the reverse scenario.

I was watching WXChasing till very late and you wouldn't believe the amount of people in the chat that kept saying, This is boring. When will the real storm come in? Is this all? What a nothing burger.

So disappointed there was not a 15-foot storm surge. It's frankly a miracle that it was not. It was once a Cat 5 with a 897 mb recorded!

Bottom-Dwellers for sure

Rays needed a new stadium anyway. Maybe this does the trick.
