It's always sad to lose someone. Especially to a natural disaster or violence because they do not expect to be called home to their end. I will stay out of all fairness though the sheriff of Taylor county which is right near my home in Jefferson, told those people a long Keaton Beach that if they did not evacuate go ahead and take a magic marker write your name your birthday and your social security number on your T-shirt so that we can identify your bodies in the morning. People think these storms are a game they are not. A category one or two is doable but when you have a cat 3 plus coming in at the coast that is only 10 ft above sea level it's time to get the f*** out of Dodge. I'm mourned for the family's loss and I don't wish it on anyone but it's just like during hurricane Michael when I did clean up on that storm as well there were a lot of poor souls that thought they could stand down a category 5. That is as massive and violent his nature gets. A storm that obliterates buildings and throws fighter jets around runways like toys is not the time to challenge nature. I said prayer that the old man is in a better place and I feel sorry again for his family's loss yes please people in the future use some damn common sense

@KingofBones1 Yes agree. He was warned and he chose to stay.

@Spoiledbrat it's always sad. And again I don't speak from a place of malice I actually speak from having experience with the first responders having done several rescue swims and retrievals. It's just not a pretty f****** sight

All this BS about AI and how smart we are, but we're no match for the devasting forces around us.

@fun4us2b We sure aren't.

They've looked for his body but haven't found it.

@Spoiledbrat if it was washed away in the tidal surge they probably never will
