https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2017/09/10/florida-sheriffs-office-warns-people-not-shoot-hurricane-irma/650909001/By the time Hurricane Irma started to cross the Keys, more than 54,000 people had signed up for the Facebook event Shoot at Hurricane Irma.
"Let's show Irma that we shoot first," says the description of the event. Florida is a Stand Your Ground state, after all.
The event is obviously a joke, but that's not stopping Pasco County Sheriff's Office from warning the public that it's not a great idea.
"Over 99% of the people out there have common sense and are listening, but we in law enforcement deal with the 1%, so we are trying to get the message to them," explained Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco.

When our QB threw the ball into an area with 4 Stillers in the camera view and no Browns. I think that was a mistake.
