1. Ida is a monster.

2. I sure hope no-one thought they could ride this out...

4. I'm watching the weather channel and the reporters are outside

giving minute by minute updates. One guy got pushed over by the wind. A dumpster was in the middle of the road. I hope the reporters get extra compensation for today and maybe tomorrow.

5. Was it assuredly authentic?

Plenty of these weather reporters have been caught in the act of greatly exaggerating storm effects.

6. I have no idea. I guess it could be fake.

8. That's Jim Cantore.

He volunteers for that. He lives for extreme weather. Tornadoes, hurricanes, floods etc. he loves that stuff. So do I, but I'm not getting paid to risk my life.
The running joke along the Gulf Coast is, "you know you'd better evacuate if you see Jim Cantore standing in your front yard".

9. Yes. I do believe it's him. I didn't know his reputation or anything.

I do think he’s a bit wild to do this.

7. Reminds me of video from the Japanese Tsunami

about 10 years ago.
