sharknado slashfic posted:Yeah I'm nearby as well, glad everyone is safe. My gutters have pretty much given up at this point and my basement carpet is wet but that doesn't seem like such a big deal in the scheme of things. Yeah this was me last week. Had gutters cleaned Friday, but spending 1100 on new basement carpet as my house goes on the market this week. At least I won't have to worry about rain while I rent in Los Angeles.

Last time this happened, we almost lost a goon.Toshimo posted:Crosspost from Baltimore thread: That kind of water level rise is poo poo loving scary and why I always- ALWAYS- take flash flood warnings seriously. I frequently walk Lando near Rock Creek, and if one of those is in effect, we go another route, no matter how unlikely it is that I could be affected.

I was supposed to go to Toshimo's cookout that day but got a last minute project in Germany. Pretty crazy that nobody died, given where his house is relative to the river.

Facebook wants me to tell everyone I'm safe from, quote, "the Flooding in Greater Baltimore Area". Thanks Facebook algorithm, I'm glad you care enough to match a disaster in column A with a geographical location in column B. The future is weird.

This is definitely a problem in EC, the whole of main street is a funnel of rock, concrete and asphalt. Well, it was at any rate. I don't see how they can rebuild again after this. RIP The Phoenix, we'll always have that one new years eve when I got thrown out.

More than likely as climate change becomes more and more real places will start to depopulate because they're tired of the weather gods wiping the slate clean so frequently.

As much as I love the federal flood insurance program I’m mad it became a free insurance system for wealthy white prople who build nice houses in water prone areas. The original legislation should have come with some major restrictions on building homes in dangerous areas.

Yeah. If you want to be real mad, watch HGTV poo poo like Beachfront Bargain Hunt and count the houses they show that will be insurance claims in the near future.

Actually, there's an increase in insurance companies refusing to cover Beachfront homes, or covering them at significantly higher rates, because they know what's going to happen.

Never had to deal with that as an east coaster but good on em for scaring the gently caress out of kids when neccessary. I remember the local power company used to run these PSAs about electrical safety with catchy songs, except for the one about substations. Then it was just straight up "Hey, Kid. GET THE gently caress OUT." https://youtu.be/sHMG-g4S5vY

Best suggestion I've seen for federal flood insurance program is: A) Fund it fully for existing recipients. B) No more new recipients. C) Anyone who gets their house destroyed gets the value of their house for a new property in their current county (prevents the tax base from evaporating). D) Certain high risk/repeat flooding areas get actively bought out, demoed, and rebuilt as active flood control nature areas.

President Bush Sr is in the hospital again. Doesn't sound too dangerous, but when you're 93 any hospital stay poses risk. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/may/27/president-george-hw-bush-hospital-maine Gonna be legit angry if Memorial Day does him in. e: two posts early, but I want to post a dog anyway.
