Mobile Mornings - Monday 10-07-24
. News, sports, weather from Dr. Bill Williams, traffic info from Kane, and one of the Gulf Coast most familiar voices. It's mobile mornings with Dan Brennan and Dalton R. Wig. In a Dalton FM talk 10065, Dalton out today. I gotta get my friend Jim Nagy, the executive director of the Reese's Senior Bowl on the line to talk a little football from over the weekend. And Jim, good morning to you. Thank you. Let's start with last night. I guess he was in the senior ball. He was a wide receiver at McGill Tool and Catholic High School, and then he went on to the University of South Alabama, Jaylen Tolbert, now becoming a real bonafide player with the Cowboys. He scored a touchdown late in that game on a fourth down to get the Cowboys that squeaky win 20 to 17. Yeah, really, really happy for Jaylen. He's put so much into it, you know, since his time at McGill. This guy just worked and worked and worked, so to see him kind of step up and be the number two weapon there for the Cowboys behind CD lamb. I didn't talk into Jaylen this summer. He played in our Hall of Fame golf tournament, and he said that was his goal. His goal was to, you know, to become the number two guy. And he was sitting behind branding cooks when the season started. It was a long time bet, and now it looks like he's kind of overpassed. And so really, I mean, it's a huge stage game. Haven't, basically, a walk-off touchdown with 20 seconds left in front of a national audience and an iconic, you know, game between two, you know, Pittsburgh and Dallas, and shoot for a kid that grew up in the 70s and 80s like myself. I mean, that's the two biggest brands in the National Football League. Yeah, they really, really cool for Jaylen. They had a few Super Bowls together, right? Yeah, it seemed like every year it was really cool for Jaylen. Really happy for him and his family. Yeah, I think that, and your position allows you to kind of get some of the gravy on this stuff. You know, you meet these kids when they're young and they go on to, you know, in this case from McGill to South Alabama. So not heavily recruited coming out of high school. But then you really get to know the guy and at the senior bowl and his success in a way becomes your success and that you can enjoy it with him. Yeah, I mean, certainly enjoy it. It's all his. His success is all his. But we do enjoy it. And that's the fun part. I just fired off a text to Jaylen this morning. We had a kicker in the game a couple of years ago, Chad Ryland, who was a fourth-round pick to the Patriots and had a decent rookie year and then struggled at the end and they cut him. So now he just got signed last week by the Arizona Cardinals and he hit the game winner yesterday. A really cool locker room celebration with Chad. So I shot him a text and told him I was proud of him for kind of getting through a tough time and laying with a new team. So that's always fun. That's always fun. It's keeping these connections with these guys and making them feel welcome here back in Mobile if they ever want to come back to, you know, for a Hall of Fame event or come back for the week. That's cool. So let's look at the weekend of college football. It was, I think when we looked at the weekend, you know, before the weekend unfolded, it was like nothing to see here. And it turned out it turned out there was a few things to see there beginning up in Nashville. Yeah, absolutely. It didn't look like a lot of great matchups, as you said. But man, when it all played out, there were some great games. I know tight fans don't want to hear about the ones who were about to talk about. But no, I mean, I got to give it to Vandy in their quarterback. I mean, they really played a good game. I don't feel like Alabama went out and really lost that per se. Vandy just played a great game. I mean, yeah, there are things Alabama wished they did better in place. They wished they had back absolutely. I think it's a, you know, kind of look in the mirror morning last couple days for everyone up in Tuscaloosa. But I hate to diminish what those Vandy kids did. They went out and played basically a flawless game in a game that everyone expected. We get blown out. So, you know, and then the celebration with them tearing down the goal post and, you know, parading down Broadway in Nashville. You know, I know tight fans didn't want to see it, but it's just a fan of college football. That's what makes college football so great. Well, when you're Alabama, you got to live with the bad because the good comes your way so often. It just does. So you have, and that's a long way. So, where Vandy is on the west end of Nashville? That's not like they're close to downtown. They carried that thing a long way. Yeah, no, no, nobody feels sorry for Alabama fans. They've enjoyed incredible highs for the last 15 years. For the rest of us that are that have allegiance to the other schools, welcome to the club. That's what's happened. But no, that is not a short walk from Vandy Campus to down to Broadway. So, yeah, I'm sure all those kids had some fun on Saturday night. So the quarterback for is an interesting story. Diego Pavia, is that his name? Yep. He's a cock sure dude, man. You don't have to, you know, no one's got to pump him up to make him feel good about himself. No, you know, yeah, he does have a crazy story. He wasn't really recruited out of high school. He went to a junior college. I guess he wasn't even really the guy there. Somehow went it up at New Mexico or New Mexico State. I forget which New Mexico school. Mexico State. Yeah, New Mexico State led them to a good season last year and now he's in the SEC beat in Alabama. So, unbelievable story. He kind of got wrapped up in the moment the other night and probably used a couple of choice words he didn't wish. But I just love the emotion. His family was in the stands for it. It's a lot of fun. You know, I actually caught their first game of the year, week one. They beat Bot Tech. And everyone coming into the year Bot Tech was the favorite in the ACC. Is that two huge wins that Vandy's had this year and in that quarterback's responsible for both of them. So, yeah, he's, no, he does not lack for, he does not lack for any self-confidence, that's for sure. But that's probably why he's so good. I mean, if he lacks self-confidence, that'd be about 80% of his game. He plays like he's, he's an all American. So, with that in mind, how good a player is he and would he be, would you consider him for the Senior Bowl? Well, he's, I mean, we'll, we'll, we'll evaluate him just like we would anyone else. But I mean, right now it's a real stretch for him to be here in Mobile for the Senior Bowl. It's just too, too many quarterbacks created above him. But in terms of, you know, I mean shoot, I always look at it like if you were my son, how proud I would be of that kid and what he's done so far to have two massive wins. You know, to his credit, playing in the SEC, overcoming the odds. I mean, that's, that's a, again, he's an underdog and you never count those guys out. So, I mean, shoot, could he go play in the UFL, you know, the Spring League for a year or two and end up in the NFL someday just because of how he's wired? I'm sure he thinks he can play in the NFL, which that's half the battle. So, no, he's a, he's, that's a cool story. There is a, under the radar, I guess senior ball players, among them would be this running back out of Boise State. I don't even have his name in front of me. That's how under way he is. I don't, I can't, I can't just tell you his name, but talk about him, what kind of season he's having him, what kind of player he is. Yeah, Dan. It seems Ashton Gente. Unbelievable. The numbers he's putting up right now, we haven't seen for a long, long time. You put him up against the last couple. He's been trophy winning running back. Derek Henry being one of them. And he's blowing their numbers out of the water. He's already over a thousand yards. He's averaging ten yards. Ten yards a carry. And yes, it's in the Midwest conference, but he did it against a good Oregon team. You know, it's ranked in the top 10. He ran all over them. He's super talented. I watched him this summer. He's our top-graded running back. Coming into the year. And now, you know, quite frankly, Dan, I'm worried we're even going to be able to get him here to Mobile, the way he's playing, just because of that position. There's so much wear and tear on that position. I hope he ends up with an agent that kind of explains to him what the value of the senior ball and connecting with these NFL decision makers, because right now, he's shown so much on the field. I mean, this kid's phenomenal. The guy that I compared him to over the summer with our staff when I watched him. He reminded me, this is lofty praise. I'm not trying to put this guy in front of me. I can't know how he'll already. But you're reminding me of Lydanian Tomlinson when I watched him this summer. I mean, this guy is who's obviously he was on our senior ball 75th anniversary team last year. Lydanian was. And one of the all-time greats. I mean, this kid is super talented. And again, I wish he was. I knew he was going to have a big year. I didn't want him to have this big a year. But, you know, when they do the Heisman thing in December and whoever the finalists are, I mean, if that kid's not in New York, that'll be a travesty. He's certainly one of the top three or four college football players in the country right now. You know, the ever-changing world of college football, and it is changing by the hour, it seems like. And now you've got the players being compensated for NIL, which is kind of a force in itself. But, and you also have players making business decisions such as explain what's going on with Bear Alexander out in USC and him deciding to stop playing after three games, allowing him to red shirt and then move on. Yeah, Bear is a former five-star kid. We've been watching his tape over the last couple of years. He certainly doesn't look like a five-star on his college tape that he's put up so far. I got a real problem with this Dan. I mean, again, if you just look at this young man's resume, the NFL is going to be scratching their heads. And again, he's not like a slam-dunk NFL player right now anyway. He looks like a late-round pick in the tape that we've watched if that. But now he's going to be at seven schools and eight years going back to high school. That's a major red flag. You know, I mean, so, you know, this kid, he's never been happy anywhere, or his people have never been happy anywhere, whoever's making these decisions for him. But if his goal is to someday play in the NFL, he's really putting that in jeopardy. It's one thing for these guys to, you know, transfer once, or maybe in a unique situation, maybe transfer twice. But beyond that, I mean, just just play ball, you know? Like, find a place where you can play in play football. So, yeah, and he's not the only one. We talked about it a couple of weeks ago at the quarterback from UNLV made a similar decision. You know, you can't play more than four games and keep you registered. So, it's happened multiple times over the last couple of weeks where players are, you know, are off to a good start, or the pass rusher at Texas State in the Sunbelt when it's out to Alabama's common opponents. And he got off to a good start. I think he had three and a half sacks in the first three games. He decided to shut it down and chop himself to bigger school. Amazing. For next year. So, it's just, yeah, that's it. I mean, again, I'm great with players getting compensated. I've got zero issue with that. But some of the other stuff, some of the peripheral stuff that's happening in college football right now, it just feels kind of gross to me. Do you remember there was a player? I don't want to get into the name at all, but there was a player at St. Paul's that talked about that years ago. He was going to play at Alabama. I think he eventually did. But there was talk of him like shutting it down and seeing you here at St. Paul's. This was years ago, too. And Nick Saban got the message to him. If you don't play, you're not coming here. So, it was almost to protect his athletic talent and ability and not get injured. And Saban told him quickly, if you don't play, the scholarship's gone. Yeah. I mean, I don't remember that, Dan, but it certainly sounds like something that has happened more probably more than just in this one instance. And again, if you're Nick Saban or if you're the NFL teams, I mean, you want guys that love football. I mean, Dan, that's like, that's a huge part of the pitch for the senior ball, right? A lot of these kids, you know, their agents and their families feel like they've done enough at the college level. They've shown enough. Why would you come playing the senior ball? I mean, to me, I tell them you're all making a statement. All these NFL teams are doing in the pre-draft process is trying to figure out who really loves football. Right. Because if everything goes right, similar to like Jalen Goldberg right now. Like, if everything goes right, Jalen didn't make generational wealth for his family off the rookie contract. Not many of these guys do. So, you know, when these teams do pay them, you know, $50 million, $100 million, the teams want to know that they're still going to go out there and compete and play their tails off. You know, so you've got to find guys that really love football and take advantage of every opportunity to compete. And so guys like that that are trying to opt out their senior or high school to preserve themselves or guys that don't come play in the senior ball. I mean, to me, that just raises a lot of red flags, whether it be for Nick Saban or for an NFL team. Hey, Jim, tell people where they can see what you guys are up to social media wise. And it's never too early to buy some tickets. No, never too early. Not at all. We had our first sellout in a long time last year, Dan. So I appreciate you bringing that out here. Seniorball.com. It's easier than ever right now to get tickets. It's not like the old days were into come down as a senior ball office and pick up your paper ticket. Just go on senior ball.com on your laptop or your phone and get your tickets. You know, we're coming up our best year in a long time, and we're going to have some good local players in the game and a lot of good tied and Auburn players and high draft picks. So it'll be fun. And then you have to follow us on social media either at senior ball, it's winter, or I've got a social media myself at Jim Nagy underscore SB. And in everything we do, we post on there. If you want to be in tune with the senior ball, we are posting multiple times a day. And it'll help you really kind of feel like you're in our office with us. Appreciate your Monday conversations, Jim. Thanks a bunch. Okay. Thanks, Dan. Have a great week. Jim Nagy is the executive director of the recent senior ball. It's 8-20-1 now. Mobile mornings. Dan and Sean in for Dalton this morning. Morning from Dan and Sean in for Dalton this morning. If I'm talking 1-0-6-5, I'm going to say I'm going to talk a little bit. I'm going to talk a little bit about it. I'm going to talk a little bit about it. If I'm talking 1-0-6-5, it is 8-25. Our show Mobile mornings. Good to have you along. And we are dealing with... well, not us personally here, but somebody in the south-easter dealing with what happened with the lean and dealing with the best they can with it would appear limited national resources or their response. And now here comes Milton. And unlike Helene, which is an area, the coastline that happened to be more sparsely in terms of population, this is not going to be that. So we got to get ready for what is going to happen with Milton on the way. And of course, a lot of chatter about Helene still in terms of where is the FEMA presence, why the people are not getting helped with FEMA right now? How are you going to have it at the storm? We're going to do now. Right here on the heels. You're chatting with some people back and forth. A lot of people on the text line listen, I heard all the conspiracies over the weekend. Quite often I point out that I think there's a lot more omission than commission when these things come up. The theories range from they're not responding to the western North Carolina and places like that because of the lithium deposits. The government was sick of the land. Listen, the lithium mining there went on before this storm. No, I don't follow that one. I know that disappoints in people. The other people saying that they're engineering weather and making these storms hit, you know, putting them in red states and stuff. Let me come on. Now, is there weather manipulation probably beyond what we understand and what we're seeing on just seeding rainfall? Sure. I'm going to go out on them here and tell you, I don't believe that they're steering storms. Now, what I do see is the failure of government to be able to react quickly. And this has gone on like you can. It's not just here. I mean, you look at people say Katrina response. Heck, look at the flooding in Louisiana that brought on the Cajun Navy. The flooding in Houston that brought on the Cajun Navy. When groups have organized a fill-in where government can't and you got groups like Samaritan's Purse, Operation Airdrop now, people working out talking about this throughout the show of buddy of mine who's a lineman is down, not even in the mountains. He's down in southeast Georgia. And the devastation he sees down there and he says, and this is a guy that's been doing it for decades. And so I, you know, appreciate his opinion on it. I said, who are you seeing there with a storm response? And he says, he's not. He said, he's not seeing. He said, I haven't seen the Red Cross National Guard or any government agency here. He said I see churches, local volunteers from other states, but not any of the organized groups. Now, on top of this, then you're going to have another storm and that response is going to be needed. Jason on the text line said, Sean, your thoughts on weather modification. I don't recall these kind of storms starting in the Gulf. And now we have multiple. I hate to go full-rickey, but it seems fishy to me. And by the way, Jason, Ricky has gone full-rickey already this morning. Yeah, Ricky's full-rickey. We've got enough Ricky from Ricky. But these storms starting in the Gulf, this happens at the end of the book end of the hurricane season. We get storms that start in the Gulf. In the beginning in the end, you get localized. You still get Atlantic, but the peak of the season is based on those big storms coming across Atlantic. But here on the tail end, we get lots of storms in the Gulf. And people saying, I've never seen anything like this, a number of two storms forming in the Gulf. 2005, y'all. 2005. You had Katrina. Okay. Then you had Rita. Then you had Katrina formed out and came across the Atlantic and came through. But then you had Rita. Then you had Cindy. You had Emily. You had Wilma. Remember they had to go to the Greek alphabet because they ran out of names in 2005. So now this is something worth talking about. Yes. Is it unprecedented? No, we've had seasons like this before. Well, we got up to Zeta. Yeah. Yeah. A couple of years ago. Three years ago. Yep. So that's Z. By the way. 830 FM talk. This morning's morning with Dr. Bill. Had to say about Milton early this morning that's coming out. [music playing] [music playing] [music playing] [music playing] [music playing] [music playing] [music playing] [music playing] [music playing] [music playing] [music playing] [music playing] [music playing] [music playing] [music playing] [music playing] [music playing] [music playing] Morning from Dan and Sean and for Dawson this morning, 834 on Mobile mornings. [music playing] [music playing] Very good to have you on every day. I tell so many of you that do listen each and every morning. [music playing] And we appreciate that a whole lot. Sean Sullivan's got his own show in the middle of the day now. Now he used to do three shows, but he just got lazy. Yes, that's right. So he would do three shows. Yeah. He would do this show. He would do mid-day mobile, which he still does. Yeah. And then you do something in the afternoon. The drive. Yeah. That's been years. Yeah. It was insane. Yeah, it was. Did you know it at the time that people said why do you do three shows a day? I said, I'm already paid for. [laughter] Starting this business, I was already paid for. By the way, heads up to, I hope to see y'all out tonight back again. I don't know why they let David Holloway and I do anything together. Of course, you know, David used to be the food editor for the paper. One of the funnier men I know. He and I are some of the judges tonight at the Alabama Wildlife Federation's Wild Game Cook-Off down at the Bluegill. I think the doors open. We're going to be there early because we had a judge. I think the doors open at six or six-thirty. At the Bluegill, just go to AWF online, Alabama Wildlife Federation. But yeah, we're back. Judging y'alls. What are you judging? What are you judging? Well, game recipes. Okay. So we'll sit there and they give us, you know, you sit in little judges thing. They give you a little cup of, you know, and it's called the whatever. You know, you'll have seafood and then you'll have wild game, you know, people do creative things with it. People do basic things with it. But it's a lot of fun. It's good to see everybody. All the booths out there, all the cooking teams out there at the AWF event. It's always a good visit. So we'll see y'all there this afternoon. And yes, there's a bunch of great judges and then there's David Holloway and I. So. Yeah. Well, no, but I'll tell you what, David Holloway, I think we talked about this. He's more and the most engaging people on radio and mobile. Absolutely. I mean, that's why we're not allowed to be together. Yeah. He's a highly entertaining guy. Yes. But then they keep us back there. Like we judge back in a room, like a back room there at the Bluegill. They keep you in the secret judging area. Yeah. Keep your way. Yes. I can't be influenced. Tell David I said hello. I didn't know he was still around town. I didn't encourage him with it. Love that guy. Yeah. So it'll be fun tonight. Hopefully y'all can come out and check that out. So many of the text here, too. Like somebody had said this. Okay. This one from a named Texas said I remember the Russian collusion conspiracy theory. Absolutely. People are saying that because I doubt that they're steering the storms and because I doubt the trying to run people off their property so they can do the lithium mining. Because there's like all these things. There are facts there. There are absolutely lithium deposits there. There's absolutely mining issues there. I don't think they steered the storms to try to get the people off their property so they can get it. I mean, it's like a Scooby-Doo episode. Yeah. But at the same time, there are plenty of things that are talking about it a whole bunch. And I don't want to mute those voices. You know, that's the whole thing with the Biden administration telling Facebook, you know, we're not telling you what to do. But one, make you aware of, you know, so many things around COVID that turned out to be true that you're ever saying we're misinformation. Now FEMA's coming out, pushing out their what's misinformation about this storm. So believe me, the doubt and the official narrative from the government, I'm with you. I just looking at it critically, not by what governments tell them. Maybe I'm just using critical thinking on that one. But I do look at what I'm seeing as the old mission, more than co-mission, once again, a failing of government to make the response. And my worry is, then you have another storm coming in right behind it. How are they going to do it? And you have private groups coming in. You know, and by the way, you can do the donation. Super bomb on Friday challenged FM talk one of six five listeners to do a ten dollar or if you can do more donation to Samaritan's Purse and Operation Airdrop. Those links are up on our Facebook page, Facebook.com/FMTalk one of six five. I've engaged in the same thing given to those folks. Remember, like, Cajun Navy folks used to come on the show with me. We'd talk about what their efforts were. There's always great people filling in and helping out. But that is, you know, that's private people doing it, not government. And I've seen it over time. Whether it be a flooding in Houston or, you know, or in Louisiana. I remember the horrible floods near Zachary, Louisiana, which I was there right by there on Saturday. Got on a college football weekend, which I don't want to talk about. I got rubbed into going to a wedding in Louisiana. But there's been these -- that's this week, man. It was -- that's week. It was -- it was -- that was -- I was that guy at the wedding with the -- with the phone, with the audio and watching the -- that's the guy. And then I got further and further depressed during the wedding after that game unfolded the way it did. But the private groups are good, I think, at the acute response fast, and then the government's supposedly going to come in the longer term. Yeah. But they're called the federal emergency management agency, not long-term care. I remember a story, gosh, 10, 12 years ago doing the show, and we had a snowstorm in D.C., and they shut the female offices down. It's a wait. You can't see them. They open when there's a snowstorm. I forget about that. But the -- but the -- but the on-the-ground things, you know, I mentioned a Texan with my buddy, who's a lineman. And he's not even in the mountainous area. He's in southeast Georgia. And so we were texting back and forth last night as he finally, after dark, gets a second to lay his head down there in the truck, working. And I was asking what he was seeing near Hazelhurst, Georgia, where they were working, and they're Vidalia, Hazelhurst. I think they may go to a gusto later on this week. And I said, who are you seeing with the response? He said, I have not seen -- and this guy's been doing it for 30-some odd years, so he's not new to working storm recovery. Haven't seen the Red Cross, National Guard, or any government agency. None. None. And I'm -- and he's been there since they deployed right after the storm. So, I mean, there you go. That's just -- that's just fail. That's a failure. And then that clip we played earlier of Biden saying the people in the storm affected areas were happy with what -- really? He said, they're getting what they need. They're very happy. If I remember the exact quote. He's -- it started out. He was confused by the question or you had -- I don't know. Did you have some -- some noise in the background that was affecting him understanding exactly what the reporter was asking? I can't even remember. But he was a little dazed, and then his response was -- He said storms went in storms. I'm trying to figure out what storms you're talking about. What storm do you mean? Yeah. Well, the storm he just came from. Yeah. Greg on the text line said it's really incredible how we've done so many big bullets. Easy, Greg. You know, now I have to throw salt over my shoulder or whatever. He said it's incredible how we've done so many big bullets recently, Sally being a real pain, but definitely not a cat 3, 4, 5. He said it's kind of like, and then what I talked about earlier, responded to Jason. He said it's kind of like a train of backed right up to Rita. Luckily Rita hit the Texas Louisiana border. But we had that year in 2005 at storm after storm out there. We did. We did. And so let me ask you this just on the you go back to conspiracy theories and our mistrust of institutions. Probably like I don't know. It doesn't remind me of any other time. Like, oh, I remember when we mistrusted this man. Well, you got a member after Katrina and Bush had doing a great job Brownie for the response and then he got disrated for that. He did. So Zuckerberg's letter to Congress about the pressure that meta was put under by the Biden administration. He sent that letter. I believe that Jim Jordan had everything that I said on the air two years ago, three years ago. But yes. Obviously a little late, right? And obviously some of the headlines were enormous back in the day. The, well, it's not even apologies. But when some of the New York times, et cetera, kid, you know what? We kind of got that wrong. You had a dig in to find that one on page. Oh, yeah. Twenty-seven. What is the, what is the old little rhyme, the reaction to the, the, the retraction of the reaction to the action is never, but I'll figure it out. There's a little rhyme to it. Like, you could put, you know, you're, you know, in the paper or a print that came out and say something was wrong. It never gets, it was a headline splashes. That's, then people, you know, people believe that. And then the, then the retraction is like the react, the reaction to the retraction never has the action of the initial, I don't remember it something, at some point. And, and so anyway, he has declared himself somewhere in that letter he was saying, like, look, I'm going to be down the middle now. That, that's just the way it's going to be. Cause he, cause he's pretty sure Trump's going to get elected and he doesn't want to. That could be it. That could be it. There's plenty of cards. We've got Dr. Bill from earlier this morning talking about Milton, here's some of that conversation. Yeah, this one right now is just northwest of the Yucatan Peninsula. And the highest winds right now 100 miles per hour around the center of Hurricane Milton. It is moving to the east southeast in the direction of the Yucatan, but it will be moving more to the east and then to the northeast through the north. It will continue to intensify. It should become a major hurricane by this afternoon. It will then turn more to the northeast and then head toward the Florida Peninsula moving across the north, east, rather the eastern portion of the Gulf for tomorrow. And then on Wednesday, it will approach the western side of the Florida Peninsula and the likely target right now would be around Sarasota, possibly St. Petersburg and Tampa. But it's going to go into a very populated area. And that will occur late Wednesday. So most likely Wednesday evening it would make landfall. And it could very well follow Interstate 4, which is the big corridor from Tampa, St. Petersburg up to Orlando, and it could possibly follow that track all the way across Florida on Thursday and then move out into the Atlantic around Cape Canaveral. And it will lose some strength of course over Florida, but not a lot. No mountains to encounter. And it will go out into the Atlantic and be a minimal hurricane. And then it will go out into the Atlantic and be a minimal hurricane and then become a most likely a tropical storm and you're simply head out to the east toward Bermuda. So the land area that it's going to cover would be the Florida Peninsula and right through that very populated central area. And Dr. Bill, looking at what they saw along that area from Tampa North, Cedar Key, like you talked about, from Helene with storm surge, is it similar or what levels would they expect there along that west coast of Florida? Well, this case, it's going to be from Tampa down through Sarasota, Fort Myers. They're going to get the brunt of the storm surge. It's very possible with the highest winds of this storm when it reaches the coast could be upwards of 140, 145 miles per hour. So it'll be a category four. That's going to be the real danger for the storm surge. Although before it reaches that coast, the surge will build even north of Tampa. But this is going to be a populated area as opposed to the Big Bend and Cedar Key, which is not a heavily populated area. But with that Tampa Bay being a nice big cove there, that's where you're going to see likely a very high storm surge that's most likely going to be in a double-digit type of storm surge in 10 feet or more. But one of a better fix on that once that storm starts to move in the northwest, easterly direction. But if it does go into that area, with all those coves, those bays along the west coast, the river for a serious problem. Before hurricane season, in fact, Dr. Bill, as we started hurricane season, I guess, May the 15th, officially. He was, you know, he wouldn't in a laugh and mood about some of the projections about this hurricane season, how active it could be. We went a long while with the out of anything that was going to strike us, for sure. But things have picked up, which tends to happen. We're past the midway point of the week. We've just picked up in the second half from September on this year. Nita saying on the text line maybe with the storm rolling through, like it did, these people who voted Democrat before will think twice about voting Democrat this time, seeing how they spent all the money on other countries and trying to prosecute Trump to the point where they can't even help out their own citizens in a time of the day. He's one of the guys, you know, Greg Biffle when he's not raising cars, which by the way, they had a huge pile up for NASCAR over the weekend. But when he's not raising cars, you find helicopters using his personal helicopter to save lives and drop off those star links, which have been done at the 300, I think it's 300 I read the other day by Musk, I imagine it's going to end up being more than that, but good for them. I think we're going to start with our own citizens with the largest aircraft fleet in the world. Lisa says what I find frustrating is that FEMA has already announced that they are out of funds and the families that have lost everything only received $750 far less than the illegal immigrants receive. Our military is overseas instead of here, shoring up our own communities, and we continue to have to be able to get out of order versus some, you know, there's a plan to get the lithium and get the people out. I think that, at least there it is, is the failure of allocating resources properly. Doubled up with illegal immigrants who are being with FEMA money is going there. Is that what your value is for? You show me what you spend money on. You show me what your values are. And you show me evidently a different value. That's what your value is. A flood of this country with 9, 10, 12. It's not that I even think they said we're going to give the money to illegal immigrants so we can't give it to regular Americans. It's that their priority is this versus shuring up and having the resources ready to go for -- it's not like they went. I'm going to do this so I don't do this. I'm going to do this so I can give it to the illegal immigrants. I was listening to podcasts over the weekend and maybe I'll have some of that audio for tomorrow. For Trump to undo what has been done, Sean, largely impossible. Yeah. I mean, these countries don't have to take anybody back. We don't send people back to Mexico that are Chinese or Venezuelan. We're going to do this tomorrow so you can see that, again, things are not going to be undone any time soon, regardless of who wins the election in November. It is 851 on FM Talk 10065 Mobile Morning. Dan and Sean in for Dalton and we'll try to get to James here on the way. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ Dalton and he'll be back with midday mobile coming up at noon today. James the engineer with some thoughts on who's not at these sites that have been struck by and affected by the hurricane. James, good morning. Good morning. I wanted to mention first, you know, people talking about the hurricane, but they believe there were two hurricanes or a hurricane and a tropical depression come right in the mobile bay. The damage was immense. They claimed the water was four foot high at the loop area all over. So, you know, and here we are with the serious thing about probable steering storms. The jet stream moves from west to east. So, I think it's going to come up in cooler. It's dropping down. It's forcing the storm to go to the east because that's, it's a stronger right now because of the math. The cooler is dropping down. Right. Now, as far as we practice as engineers, combat engineer and/or engineers, this is something they're trained to do is go into a situation like the oil drops. You load these up in the military helicopters. You get generators. They already now have a process. They've advanced further than what it was when I was in where they can filter that brown water and take the ever bit of the sediment and everything out and you're drinking fresh water. They can set up mass units. If they don't hurry up and do it, the other thing they're going to do is they're going to do it and then the other states. They're not even realising that. Yeah, thanks for your call, James, and pointing out some of the things as an engineer and I get some former military and engineering in the military that he's seeing and saying, why are these things not in place or being activated right now? This brings up, we don't have time for this, but maybe we'll bounce us around after we get through a discussion after which Hurricane really hit them hard. Yes, I'm interested in this because I like solar, I like off-grid, I like self-sustainability. That's one of the things I'm interested in. Why don't when we rebuild, we don't go back into the old line of linking everything together in a grid? Because with the grid, something happens down the street. Your power might be, but because it got knocked out down the street. I don't know where they ended up, but there was a discussion of, could they when they went back to rebuild, not have everything so on the same bigger grid, solar generator systems that split it up balkanized it more so when there was damage, it didn't affect as many people at one time. Yeah, more localized. Alright, what if they did that? I'll have to, hey, I'll hit up that Google box and say, Jeff, four is on the way next on FMTalk1065. Dan and Dalton, or Sean, I'm back with you in the morning, beginning at 6 a.m.
