we explicitly spelled out that the storm aftermath would look not-as-bad at first because everyone who got lightly tapped would still have power and phone and would go "ah we're fine!" today and tomorrow is when we start finding out what happened to the areas that completely lost power and reception

One of my grandma's friends got PTSD from spending weeks trapped in her attic in the aftermath of Katrina. She never fully recovered, and has since died. It sounds like some families are trapped right now and will never get the resources to rebuild, the big question is just how many.

Atrocious Joe posted:how is Chicago and Midwest Storm Chasers doing. Have they been save and/or arrested for their crimes Hasn't tweeted since last night. I'd say it'll either be a coinflip between trying to act like nothing happened vs ghosting and setting up another grift somewhere else. I'm expecting now that he's got some infamy there will probably be YouTube drama channels looking to dissect his past for content.

There are people in NJ who haven't been able to rebuild from Sandy even with federal funds. It can't be overstated how much storms like this permanently ruin lives, even if you think you have the means to recover and rebuild.

I read a book about Katrina called "the Great Deluge" that described the sound as like the air hose at the dentist on a massive scale, for hours. No, thank you!

No, thank you! it really is something you have to experience to really understand. it’s just this constant never ending howling that’s slamming everything then there’s the gusts within the storm that are even faster that feel like something just physically slammed the building you’re in. If you’re in a dense area, you can actually hear the gust coming from the sound of crashing as it hits every building on the way to where you are. and this goes on for hours, and there’s nothing you can do about it. you just… sit there and listen and hope the building holds.

When hugo hit charlotte I remember us hiding in the basement and hearing that screaming. Obviously hugo was very weak by then relative to what Ida was last night but it was still horrifying plus we got the bonus of hearing the trees snap in half all around us and hoping none of them chose to fall on the house.

Growing up in the PNW I experienced the long powerful "big blow" storms that hit in the fall, and the biggest of those will sustain near-hurricane force winds all day. Even the worst of them though like the (stupidly named) Hanukkah Eve storm are on just a lower order of magnitude than a major hurricane.

Raine posted:fun fact electricity going through your body will contract your muscles and override brain signals to move those muscles also fun fact: the safest way to get away from a downed power line is to press your feet together and shuffle, keeping your feet in firm contact with the ground while moving them as little as possible while still letting you move around. if you step normally the power can go up one let and down the other, loving up everything in between.

We were hundreds of miles inland in Jackson, and Katrina is still something I vividly remember.

This sounds fake, but it is absolutely true. The goal is to minimize what’s called “step potential”. Hopping with both legs together, as in a sack race, is another technique. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vAA95ZZdjI

Friends I know near Slidell had their house demolished by a tree. Last I heard the family was sheltering in a stable segment of the home. That was several hours ago and no updates since.

There was a science museum I visited once I think, when I was a wee lad, that had a recording made of the Galveston(?) hurricane and part of the experience was that you listened to it in a pitch black room just like the people who survived it did. Harrowing stuff

Also fun fact: if you're in a vehicle that's impacted a power line, and you need to get out immediately (like if it's on fire), you need to jump out the door without touching the chassis. So that's leaping out of the car, landing with your feet together without grabbing anything to balance yourself, and hopping/shuffling away, all without falling down. Hope you're well-coordinated!
