I was coming home from the grocery store and saw a blue crab walking across the street!! Fortunately the crab was smart enough to cross at a 4-way stop so the cars were stopped for it. It even waited in the middle of the road for a car to pass before scurrying to the other side! LOL! It was so funny I simply had to share it and then I thought I could just make a thread of it and ask you all contribute your own stories of the weirdest things you've seen. That is if you want to of course. ;)
 
You didnt stop and get it, could have been dinner!:awesome:
 
Wait!!! I can add to your weird story...
Last year when the Hurricanes hit and we were without power for forever and a day. We were all working in the back warehouse shipping out orders, running off of two generators (no A/C means double deodorant), :D we had all the bay doors open to get some air, in walking was crabs! We aren't even close to the beach!:confused: They were crawling in the warehouse, we found some up front in the offices, one was napping under my desk!:mad:
Craziest thing I have seen in awhile!
If they were bigger I would have grilled them out back, but they were little guys!
 
You sure it wasn't one of those blue haired retiree's with a walker. Somebody told me they were land crabs LOL and j/k cause I might be using a walker some day with my orange bermuda shorts and black knee high socks.

LOL!! The one I saw had a big ol claw. I wouldn't want to touch it. Haven't you ever seen the cartoon where the crab always comes up and gets you on the nose? And you know cartoons are absolute truth! ;) Ay, you said the "h" word! I know the season has started already, but I don't even want to think about it! After getting the eye of Katrina and the eye of Wilma twice I don't even want to think about another hurricane right now. My husband works in the courthouse in downtown Ft. Lauderdale and they are STILL without windows! I am lucky though that I am on the same grid with the library. We got our power back a week before anybody else! :)
 
wow... that's dedication. getting orders filled even with no power or a/c.

weirdest thing i've seen would also be during jeanne (maybe francis?) a couple years ago. we have a couple of small oak trees in the backyard at our house. Halfway through the storm i noticed that there was a bird hanging onto one of the branches. Instead of being perched on top of the branch like a normal bird would do, this one was hanging underneith like a bat!

With an outfit like that and a walker, you will have to move to Fla. Thats mandatory dress if you are over 70.

That is weird!
I remember during Hurricane David back in 1979 I think it was we didn't have shutters on our windows and it was my birthday so I was sulking anyway and to make things worse my older brother and two older sisters locked me out of my own bedroom and were telling ghost stories! :mad: So I went to the back room and was watching the hurricane from the windows. We had a small palm tree in the back yard and a bolt of lightening shot down from the sky and hit it and the tree totally exploded! Fragments went flying in all directions and the stump was flaming until the rain put it out. It was really cool! :D

Good old David, I remember that one! He was not nice!
 
We were actually really lucky with that one. David was like a cat 5 when it hit my husband's country (the Dominican Republic). There in the capitol where my husband lived they had gusts up to 172 mph and waves 4 stories high! It killed thousands of people there. But here it was the 4 days of rain more than anything as it stalled over us! Somewhere my mom has pics of me in a row boat rowing down my street. I actually swam in my street too! LOL
And I totally agree with Harrison's comment about AG's dedication to customers. Way to go! :grouphug:

my neighborhood has such bad drainage even with a mildly heavy downpour i'm not able to drive the car out of the subdivision for a couple of hours. slammed car + cold air intake = afraid of puddles

Yeah hurricane time was interesting. We were all half dressed due to the heat, stinky, tired and grouchy for the most part. But where there is a will Max will find a way! He trucked in water, ice, food, and a bar of dial soap for the bathroom and we were good to go!:D We made it a fun time. Most importantly everyone got their packages shipped out on time!:awesome:
 
Weiredst thing was after hurricane Andrew, we were coming back from Tampa. I think we came of way of highway 27 or is it 22 (were the Krome detantion center is), and we're driving along looking in shock. We then come across a very thick palm tree that has a peice of 2x4 lodged striaght through the center of the palm. We were amazed by it, the power it takes to put a 2x4 through a thick palm tree is scary. It almost looked like a crooked cross.
 
you guys are great! Kudos to Max and all the AG staff for turning a bad situation into a productive one!

Yeah Andrew was a nasty one! It was the costliest natural disaster in US history, but I think now Katrina may have topped it. Not sure. What about Charley cutting the island of Captiva into two pieces!! I wonder if they call it Captivas now! :p
 
Go ahead and laugh! When disasters like that hit, being able to laugh about it is a blessing. It keeps you sane. :)

Captiva after Charley
 
Wow when God remodels he remodels. Beautiful water though....
 
wow captiva got owned. i think the tsunami was the biggest disaster... i know it killed the most people.money aint a thing when a quarter million people die...

hmm well i remember during the noname storm in 92(maybe 93) my area ot flooded bad and we were canoeing down my road.also we went surfing in one of the canes last year...i couldnt even make it to the beach i was getting sandblasted it hurt so bad and the waves were going down the bach instead of into it so i stayed back...then my friends board got loose and flew about 75 feet up and smashed tp pieces on the side of a hotel.we decided to go home after that...

Yeh when the waves start going sideways almost north to south, that's when I say "ok, time to go" lol. It's either that or the sandblasting that get's me first, just have to run really fast across the beach before your skin comes off (I don't wear a wetsuit):D . Durring the storms 2 years ago, bunch of us were out. I got nailed on a wave that drilled me in a shallow section, ended up with a gash on the back of my leg. Didn't realize I was bleeding. And there were quite a few sharks around. Buddy told me, and I caught the next wave laying down like a boogie board lol, I wasn't going to be shark fodder:D
