This might be THE idiot move of the day:

Look, I have been supremely unconcerned about Tropical Storm Fay. It’s supposed to hit Jacksonville, possibly as a hurricane, on Thursday and I could care less. Unless you purposely go looking to get killed, a tropical storm or a category one hurricane isn’t going to kill anyone. You get yourself a hurricane kit and a generator just in case, and brace yourself for a lot of rain. We get these hurricane leftovers in Jacksonville every hurricane season, and every year it isn’t really a big deal. Sometimes there are some downed power lines, some fallen tree branches. But as long as you’re smart and pay attention to weather updates, you’re not really in any danger, unless of course you live at the beach or in a flood zone, and even then, you should be fine. Watch the news. Stay informed. If they tell you to evacuate, evacuate. If they don’t, then there’s likely minimum danger. However, that does not mean it’s a good idea to go kite surfing in the middle of a tropical storm. I mean, you really have to go looking for trouble to get hurt in the middle of a tropical storm. And apparently, this idiot thought tropical storm conditions were ideal for kite surfing. REAAAAL smart.

As for me, someone did leave a comment asking what I was planning on doing about Fay. The answer? Absolutely nothing. If I lose power I’ll just head to my parent’s house, who have a generator. There’s no reason to leave. I live in an apartment, so I don’t have to worry about bringing in lawn furniture and such. If I had a house, I’d just tape up my windows and bring in anything that could blow around, although I doubt it’s going to get that bad. We’ve had worse hurricanes here, and like I said, you really have to go out of your way to get hurt by such a mild storm. We deal with major thunderstorms here in Jacksonville on practically a daily basis as it is. So, OK, we’ll have a lot of rain and stronger winds than normal. That’s fine. As long as Jacksonville residents are smart and take the necessary precautions, there’s really no need to worry.

Just don’t go be a jackass and try to kite surf at the beach. You’ll definitely lose.
