I mean, I'm aware that wave peaks don't equal sustainable change in elevation of the sea, so I'm not assuming the entirety of the keys is actually going to be under water, but with 40ft waves, pretty much everything within about a mile of the ocean should be properly inundated, right?

Apparently Dutch st maarten is going batshit nuts. The Dutch have dispatched marines to quell the fighting. Supposedly locals are saying hundreds dead because people looted the armory and there are gun battles in the streets.

Havent seen this supposed armory mentioned anywhere, but there has been a breakdown in local government. Which is problematic because unlike Saint Martin, which is a part of France, Sint Maarten is a recently independent country within the kingdom of the Netherlands but with the Netherlands (the country, not the kingdom) only responsible for certain things like defence. So they can't just take over without consulting the local government, which is in shambles.

We have a shitton of guns, just not an America-tier amount of guns. We're somewhere in the top six countries in guns per capita, top three or so if you count illegal guns.

But I think I wasn't specific enough in the last post, I didn't mean sovereign citizens as in "citizens of a sovereign state", I meant the coockoo-stupid "I AM A FREE MAN OF THE LAND AND I DO NOT CONSENT" sovereign citizens. The state decided that if they do not recognize the state's and government's authority, then the government cannot grant them firearm permits. :)

/edit:

These are dudes that believe the Bundesrepublik has no authority, because Germany is still an occupied state, and due to some hilarious armchair-lawyer gymnastics, whichever contract the allies imposed on Germany is still in effect.

Yeah, the north eyewall is currently over Key West and no station seems to have reported winds in excess of 60mph. Also, GBS seems to be upset and disappointed with the hurricane being a "nothingburger", so that's good for the actual living and breathing humans down there.

Can't really comment on mental health programs in Germany. The time when I needed help back in the day, I found help in an unbureaucratic fashion, and the only problem was that most mental health professionals in the region were pretty tight in terms of scheduling. But that's anecdotal, so ymmv etc.

About 10% of Afghanistan's population of 26million has internet access; the country has a 38% literacy rate, a citizen of afghanistan is an Afghan and the currency of Afghanistan is the Afghani.

So yeah, stupid pictorial pamphlets still make sense.

Little late but that's not true either. About 86% have access to cell phones with social media and mobile internet. The 10% number is traditional PC internet connection. Obviously the more rural you are the less likely you are to internet usage. Like most 3rd world nations, Afghanistan skipped a technological generation or two.

Images are still mainly used in those realms, but simple wording works pretty well, but the same could be said for anywhere because no one wants to read a novel.

There won't be 40 foot waves rolling through the Keys. 10-15? Probably. Which is still enough to at lest partially submerge most houses not on stilts.
