spacemang_spliff posted:did your parents make it though okay? aside from their house getting turbofucked? their house seems to be fine, because it is raised on stilts. their cars are fine too afaik because they moved them to the highest ground possible and walked back home. my mom's gardens are probably the worst casualty, which sucks but it's par for the course. they're staying there because she has generators keeping her fishtanks alive and has to stay there to swap batteries and tend to them. they have enough supplies for a while, I think.

Beekeeping and You posted:ofc I can't directly say hey this will get you 500 bucks because oh god what if people get 500 bucks who don't need it?? It's me. I'm apparently ineligible for assistance because my apartment luckily survived the storm unscathed, and there was no evacuation order for new orleans within the levee system. Apparently voluntary evacuation doesn't count. I guess my probably 100+ degree apartment with no power, water, or food is considered perfectly livable and I should just suffer in abject despair instead of try to find somewhere where I can find a hot meal, bathe, and sleep the night through without being soaked in sweat.

HashtagGirlboss posted:Brake checking is a great way to get run off the road. If they don’t hit their brakes in time they have a lot more control over where you go than you do. Just saying I don't actually hit the breaks I just step on the pedal enough to make the break lights come on If they don't take the hint I just come off the accelerator and slow down until they get the mesaage and change lanes

Say you have disaster related emergency need for food medication, or gas. It's a checkbox. It's not false, you do have immediate need for those things.

Figure it's time to start watching wet-bulb temps in general so I went and used the OSHA wet-bulb calculator and right now it's estimating 36c/97f in the sun in NOLA. Still only 29C/84F in the shade, but if you're outside in the sun during the high today it's at or nearly at the upper physiological limit for human survival.

Hovercraft posted:so apparently because they never ordered a mandatory evacuation, nola insurance payouts will be limited if climate change makes these hurricanes come sliding in faster, it's a wrap. so much for all these "we'll persevere and come back stronger' types i keep reading in /r/neworleans. wait until there's a double whammy of multiple strong hurricanes attacking your city less than 15 years apart. supposedly BP was/is paying billions into marshland renovations to keep the coastal areas from losing land every year, but i don't think they can do anything if the entire area is constantly flooded.
