Not really something to laugh at, but an amazing photo as far as I can see! This church located in Cocoa Beach Florida, had the steeple ripped off and harpooned through the roof! Frances did this btw! It is a good thing that the church wasn't used as a shelter during the storm because the newspaper showed what the inside of this church looked like and it looked as if a rocket came through the ceiling and landed directly on a pew. Saw a funny sign the other day in the front yard of a Florida home, it said: 1. Charley 2. Frances 3. Ivan 4. Sale! And now for a bit of Florida humor! YOU MIGHT BE A FLORIDIAN IF.....

Karl is an impressive major hurricane and is behind Jeanne and ummmm there is another disturbance behind Karl!!!! Will this shit ever end this year???? Brenda

I won't moan about the rain here anymore! Best of luck hope things get back to normal asap.

Wow!

OMG....!! (pun not intentional) Thank goodness no one was in there. I beginning to lose track of all the hurricanes... My mother and father in-law live in the Domincan Republic.... I know several people were killed there by the most recent one heading up to us. :~( We have not had a serious hurricane here in Rhode Island since Hurrican Bob... think that was in 1991.

Chelle, We are keeping count here! I just wanted to tell you that I hope your inlaws are OK and they are in my thoughts and prayers. Now for some interesting information, the last hurricane we had here was Erin in 1995 and she was a category one minor damage and flooding not many people lost power for long if at all. The hurricane before that was David in 1979, and it was also a category one hurricane, not a whole lot of anything but a big blow! And before that Donna sometime in the 60's. So it is odd that we have been deluged this year! Brenda

oh my!! unbelievable shot! good no one was there & just who thinks of these funnys, lol :]

OH I thought it was some sort of telescope! I was wondering. Bsteph

agree...WHEN will this end???? I'm tired of worrying about my brother & his family every sec...not to mention all the friends!!! Feel so badly for what everyone is going thru. Hang in, Tia

Wow. What gets me is the angle the steeple has turned through to land pointing in that direction! It musta been ripped off and then back around like a whip-cracking effect.... Y'know, people moan about the British weather and (especially wher we are!) the lack of summer.... I suppose it has it's good points. (And to think I was bitching on last week coz a too-strong wind snapped the string on my stunt kite......!) (",)
