where are you? what you re seeing is downed trees? yes, st. petersburg, the tampa bay area, all part of the same area. these are among the homes that don t have power. they lost power yesterday afternoon. in fact, karen who lives here, told me when she went to bed, she thought that irma was going to hit as a category 3. remember, that was the worst case scenario that was still possible. that s what they expected when they went to bed. she said she went to bed with pill lows over her head. she was terrified. she didn t even hear the tree topple. we were hear watching her. she was of course just stunned and thankful that it didn t fall the other way on to her house. so there s no damage, no leaks in her house she can see. public works because it s blocking there will come out and chop it up. over here, you see another family who is here cleaning up. there s a lot of debris like that in the road. these people, among other, who boarded up their windows. this is really the worst of the
house when the twister hit and ripped their home apart. i ve read your statements on this. it sounds like looked like the world was ending out there. it was pretty scary, sir. i ve read that you were inside with your family, and you went outside to look at the cloud wall and that your mom just started screaming at you and everything went black. what happened from there? me and my father were sitting on our carport and looking over toward my sister and her husband s lumber one hardware store, and from the back of it, it turned dark gray as it kept moving closer, and then started lightning on either side of the building and the limbs started going crazy, moving like crazy, and the weather alert went off on my phone, said take shelter immediately. i ran upstairs and grabbed pill lows for my parents to put over their heads, and we rap into the closet in our den, and i shut the door and he bunkered down and started praying, and a huge

is like having a meeting of the royal court, saying i will not sign an anti-tax pledge like that. it is like putting your feet in cement. the spokesperson for pill lows said, republicans were to there getting marching orders and norquist said it was nothing of that case, but they were there talking about what the pledge means, what it doesn t, and, also, how if republicans win control of the senate and the white house and main control of the house of representatives he think they can do house reform and the pledge helps them do tax reform because it keeps people from going off in a side room and you get a tax increase as a byproduct. neil: so it seems to me the battle is what is a tax hike? what is a revenue enhancement. there are a lot of purist in the republican party saying closing a loophole, figure like that ripping away a tax credit is a tax hike and others likeup job
