Look out for a Giant Tent....

#1 Postby TheShrimper » Sat Oct 22, 2005 6:14 am

As of last night, the Octoberfest in Cape Coral, was still slated for this weekend and next. They have the largest tent set up I have ever seen and it has a bulls eye on it for easterly winds. They have not taken it down as of yet. For 20 years, I have thought of this happening, and now it is a real possibility. So watch out Western Lee County, Sanibel and Pine Island.

I saw a rather large tent go flying in a tornado once. It was pretty acrobatic. I tried to catch a ride but it was a wily little booger.

People of South Florida, if Tuesday morning you wake up and find a giant tent in your backyard, now you know where it belongs!

Maybe Wilma wants to go to the Oktoberfest after coming from her Cancun "vacation" :lol: After all, her name (Wilma) is short for Wilhelmina -- and that's of German origin. :wink:
