2. Kick.

Demand for ocean front property is at an all time high. Wow.

3. That looks like it was a wedding reception. Bummer.

6. I'm guessing the cake was a loss.

There was a massive hurricane that originated near the SW of coast of Mexico earlier in the week. I watched it travel in a near straight line for Hawaii over several days. It ended up taking a swipe at the south coast of the big island and dissipated as it melded with clouds coming from the west immediately afterward.

Looks like a repeat performance is in the making.

Another is forming the same as that last one - I never knew the name of it but I watched it here:

13. That one is Estelle. I was hoping it would turn to the land so we here in the SW could get some rain

11. and the warming will increase the hurricanes

and other damaging weather events. For sure.

5. Did they think that was funny?

don't they understand what is happening here? Eventually that land will be underwater forever.

8. Seriously! It's like they intentionally set up the tables there to get their anticipated "viral"

video footage.

[UTUSN]

9. Bingo, really yukking it up!

[Duppers]

12. Exactly!

TY

14. More like nervous laughter in the moment. Nobody expects that at their wedding. ...

It’s like people want to see a bunch of Karens and Kens going all Bridezilla.

The guy who posted the Twitter, commenting on how their money won’t save them. Well, right, Local Guy, but as it happens all those blondies are bringing their money into a state that has only one major industry: tourism.

[Sympthsical]

10. Not one person grabbed the cake

I just don't understand people's priorities.

[DFW]

17. I read an extensive article about the incident. According to the article, the cake survived.

Priorities, after all................

15. it was funny this time . . .

. . . not so much when houses and people are swept out to sea. We are and have been so ignorant and la-de-dah about global warming. I'll be eighty in October, so won't see the worst that is coming. Oh, what we have wrought.

16. Gotta get the selfie!

[Wounded Bear]

18. "Gonna need a bigger....er....seawall or something." nt

22. Nah, it didn't end the party. I read that they posted about "dancing in the mud" afterwards and had

The wedding cake even survived.
