The Governor just called to see how things are going. I told him rescue and cleanup efforts were underway but the Swamp Man statue was scaring all the volunteers. He told me to get in the car and evacuate immediately, we don't have a Swamp Man statue.

California has already topped the acreage burned in 2020—which was itself a historically bad year, and we still got four months to go.

st charles is expected to have no power for several weeks: "if They told me that they could get power back in a month I would think Wow that's fast" - President of St Charles Parish.

nearly every structure has some kind of damage from small damage to full collapse.

edit: Our water infrastructure is damaged, there's lots of leaks, as well as a barge hit our intake so we've got diminished capacity .

nothingburger indeed.
