CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Tampa, St. Petersburg lashed by 100-mph winds, catastrophic flash flooding from Hurricane Milton

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Hurricane Milton slammed the Tampa-St. Petersburg area with over 100-mph wind gusts and torrential rain Wednesday, knocking out power to well over a million in the metro area and damaging the home of the city's baseball team.
St. Petersburg's airport reported more than three hours of gusts over 70 mph, including seven gusts over 90 mph and a peak gust of 102 mph just after 10:30 p.m. ET. Tampa International Airport recorded a peak gust of 93 mph.
The ferocious winds caused significant damage to Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, where video showed massive tears in the stadium's fabric roof. The facility is home to the Tampa Bay Rays. Tropicana Field was initially going to be used as a temporary staging location for hundreds of first responders prior to Milton's landfall, but it was moved to another location away from Tropicana Field. According to local authorities, there were no reports of any injuries associated with the damage to the stadium.
Also in St. Petersburg, a construction crane collapsed at the 400 Central building, according to FOX 13 Tampa. There are no reports of any injuries there either. A witness told FOX 13 that she believes it fell on the Tampa Bay Times building.
The crane fell off of a building that had been under construction for about two years and would be the tallest building in St. Petersburg, FOX 13 said.
Adding to the woes, St. Petersburg shut down its drinking water at midnight Thursday morning due to a major water main break. The shutoff will remain until weather conditions subside enough for crews to begin repairs, city officials said.

In 1998, he (Pat Robertson) specifically suggested that God might send hurricanes and a hellfire of lightning bolts to Florida to destroy Disneyworld in retaliation for sponsoring a “Gay Days” weekend.

Beyond Ironic on the second count as baseball saved hundreds of lives. The vast majority of deaths occurred on the Nimitz Freeway, a double decker. It collapsed killing 42 (out of a total of 57 people directly killed). This was during rush hour, but the traffic was more like 2 in the morning numbers than rush hour because so many people left work early to be home in time to watch the World Series! (It was Oakland vs. San Francisco).
