My daughter spent the day as a student paramedic on an ambulance during all of this, her second day! I’m proud she even made it to the ambulance station.

[@Clutching.My.Pearls]

Your daughter will never forget her student days and all the hands on training. Bless all those in the medical field that they can safely help those in need during this horrible storm.

Kudos to the reporter for the piece to camera on the bridge and to the pilots for their incredible skill in landing planes in that wind, or else safely performing a go around.

Yet the person filming has no trouble standing rock steady? Just happened to be filming at the right time? The church spire was from hot fuzz and the people faked blowing over!

Seems like they want climate lockdowns, seemed to know it wouldn’t be so bad as they had people in place to catch the faked footage who had no worries being out or filming with a steady hand.
