    Our infrastructure is garbage. Our power was out for 2 days last time and Helene barely grazed us. Like one band hit us a bit. This one is heading straight at us so I expect to lose power for a few days at least. DeSantis is a fucking dumb piece of shit. But hey, he refused to talk to Harris to try to score a few political points and the braindead boomers will be going insane with joy.

      Buckle up. From what you’ve said and my old experience with hurricanes from the past (I live in VA now and we rarely get touched), you’re going to be out of power a week at minimum. I’d bet on much more. If you haven’t already, get whatever supplies you can. I’m sure they’re mostly gone at this point, but if you’re in the path and your ground is already saturated, you’re going to be hurting. Ideally, get the fuck out, but it’s probably too late for that.

      A few days? Mate, I hope that’s the case, but my experience with direct hits from cat 3+ hurricanes is weeks to months. Only the lucky get it back quickly.
