I saw on the news that the FSU circus facility was damaged and couldn't be used. Which caused me to wonder, do circuses even exist anymore? I don't remember one since I was a kid (and that's a long time).

The outfield fence of the baseball stadium is bent over and the circus tent collapsed. Tallahassee (particularly around Myers Park/Capital City Country Club for those familiar) is a mess.

I would love to hear Spurrier's thoughts about that caught on a hot mic.

Recovery efforts in Tallahassee are continuing Sunday, two days after at least two tornadoes and 100-mph straight line winds ripped through the city, heavily damaging and destroying homes and businesses, blocking roads and driveways with debris and plunging much of the city into darkness.

On Saturday night, the city announced it had reached its goal of restoring power to 75% of its more than 126,000 customers. And while the city hopes to have 90% of customers restored by tonight, residents in badly hit areas, where power lines, poles and transformers were left a twisted wreck, braced for the possibility of a longer wait.

The National Weather Service confirmed Saturday that two EF-2 tornadoes touched down in eastern Gadsden and western Leon counties before moving into Tallahassee. NWS survey crews are going out again today determine whether a third tornado hit southern Leon County. The storms claimed the life of 47-year-old woman, who was killed when a tree hit her home off Aenon Church Road.

County officials say there have been 550 homes, businesses and buildings damaged by trees in some way, with 300 reporting major damage from either trees or vicious straight-line winds. After Hurricane Michael, 243 homes and buildings sustained major damage.

There's a joke in there about FSU's library and all the coloring books were destroyed or something.

That was Spurrier talking about a library fire at Auburn. But I get your point. Lol
