@brendaa0523_ At 2:30PM yesterday, two hours after the last update, the roof tore off the ballroom where we were sheltering. It was absolutely terrifying but the staff remained calm and guided us to an underground shelter where we remained for the duration of the hurricane A few minutes before the ballroom roof tore off, the worst of the debris hit. It sounded and felt like cars smashing full speed into a building. Once we were underground we stayed there until around 12AM when the building had been declared structurally safe and the staff guided us back to our rooms. The staff ARE THE REASON WE ARE ALIVE. #montegobay #hurricanemelissa ♬ original sound - Brenda A

Indian news sources are nearing the final state of full enlightenment by having the first screen of an article have essentially no content at all (in this case, a headline managed to get 14 words in edgeways, but that's it).

At Bob's Big Boy in Burbank, its display case includes a David Lynch Big Boy. Created by Todd Rogers & titled “Burbank, 2:30 PM (Thinking of Blue Velvet)," it's an ode to the director's many years at Bob's hashing out ideas, fueled by his two faves: coffee & chocolate milkshakes!
