at a buffet, i personally sneak corndogs into the buffet so others can enjoy them. I hide 6 corndogs in my jacket pockets. it then, is a joy for me to see other patrons of the establishment eat my corndogs thinking they were part of the buffet.

That's spooky.
I won't get into the "why" but; I was thinking about hurricane Dorian, just before I started this video.
Great stuff.
I guess that we helped you get rich so now you no longer provide your fun, interesting videos of the past. It is with sadness that I unsub you because you have morphed into something that I just don't enjoy anymore. Good luck.
Have you ever done a story on a Labor Day hurricane in islamorada. Local government center has a map of where they picked up bodies all the way out to flamingo and there are a few accounts of Ernest Hemingway bringing his fishing boat up and seeing bloated bodies all over the place
I went thru a cat 4. It was 40 knots for a couple hours transitioning to 140 knots in one second for eight hours!
A perfect episode for Thanksgiving. There are a so many people to be thankful for. History Guy, I'm thankful to you and your History Team for bringing us these wonderful stories and insights.
The 1928 Okeechobee Hurricane was also a bad one. Hit the communities around Lake Okeechobee, especially along the south shore hard.
Ah hah, my alma mater UMiami 🙌
Fantastic job retelling history as always!
It made me think of course, of the 1929 Marx Brothers movie made 3 years after the hurricane. Groucho was trying to sell lots in Florida, and not doing particularly well at it.
Ever since I was a kid, after explained to what a hurricane or tornado was, I wondered why it was even legal to live in deadly targeted weather areas…why was everyone else's insurance used for claims by those living in a really dumb area?
I went through Hurricane Hugo at Naval Station Roosevelt Roads, Puerto Rico, where the eye passed directly overhead. There is no description, not even visual documentation, that can adequately convey the sight, the sound, the fury, or the aftermath of a storm of that magnitude. On an island, there is no place to hide. Great podcast. Thank you.
Nash Roberts was in the navy and one of the early folks to fly over the hurricanes in navy planes to study them. He credited it as a big part of what taught him how to judge weather patterns to be so accurate with his forecasts. It was a loving joke to acknowledge Nash's whiteboard – On TV he would show hurricane tracks using a whiteboard and marker long after everyone else was showing the computer models. It wasn't that he didn't use the av liable computers. His "cone" was almost always smaller than what anyone else showed., He said he just felt the whiteboard was eaiser for laymen to understand.
