Do you think they're gonna give those employees free unpaid time for the duration of their imprisonment in a hurricane or are they gonna just drain whatever sick or PTO or UPT or whatever from them because they aren't technically at work.

Also, a weaker, slower moving storm right off the coast is extremely bad news because it can dump absolutely insane amounts of water. Flooding is a big loving deal, arguably much worse than wind.


As a Floridian who lives 1/2 mile from the beach in St. Augustine, I can confirm.

The thing that's surprised me with Matthew and Irma is that the real flood danger comes not from the ocean but from the intercoastal to the west. Speaking of that, we've been having some weird "lunar tides" or something and for the last few days the water levels on the pier to the west of my house have been unusually high so that sucks.

Where I live is roughly a mile wide and my street has flooded before (not my house). The water has made it half way up my driveway 2x now so this storm concerns me a great deal. Evacuating soon.

The problem is that Mar-a-Lago and all the other mansions on Palm Beach are built out of bricks and steel and hurricane windows and shutters. They’re all insured for millions of dollars. They have redundant generators, redundant water, staff to perform repairs and clean up the debris. They have secondary and tertiary homes in the Northeast where they’re currently watching the storm in complete safety.

5 miles west of there is West Palm Beach, where 20% of people live under the poverty line. They may have plywood shutters on their windows and are 2-3 feet above sea level.

It’s fun to think that God/Satan/the specter of communism will strike down the plutocrats with divine wrath, but in reality it’s self-defeating.

everyone reacts to extreme stress differently. this is what PTSD is all about, as some people like myself become ice cold calm and optimistic when the poo poo is hitting the fan but once it’s over I process how extremely bad what happened was.

Burnout, probably. When a crisis drags on for hours it becomes hard to sustain emotional highs no matter how dire the situation.
