In my home village of Nome, The entire front street is completely tore up, you can even see where I worked in the background (the buildings hit by the waves).

Also the airport is flooded, this is so great.

Everything is FINE.

I am really glad I got my mom to sell her 2 blocks from frontstreet house and move to the hills.

So far one house has washed into the river near the airport, and since the main part of the storm surge isnt there, its gonna get even better.

My fav nugget of wisdom is that all the bars are on front street, and they all store their alcohol in what shouldnt have been built, but in underground almost below sea level basements.

Yikes I hope things work out okay. Thoughts and prayers for all that improperly stored booze

The Fiona stuff is odd because it's a fairly weak storm? Not sure how an entire grid gets knocked out by that

I think the implication is that PR's grid still hasn't been meaningfully/lastingly repaired since Maria, just 'patched to work,' and now that a 'weak' storm has blown through, they're hosed sideways because most Americans don't even know (or care) it's a sovereign US territory and everyone living there is an American.

only a moron would live near a coastline or on an island with climate change. only a moron would live in a place without water, prone to droughts. only a moron would live in a place that gets too hot, or too cold, or is dependent on fossil fuels. should have climate proofed. buncha morons picked a vulnerable place, smh

When I was still living there last year, my power would go out randomly, for periods of time ranging from five minutes to 24 hours. In my neighborhood, transformers seemed to explode at random. This would happen every couple of weeks in good weather. After four hours I'd trudge down to the store to buy ice for my groceries.

Sometimes you'll see a story that a town loses power due to an iguana getting fried on the power lines, a substation randomly bursting into flames, etc. The power grid is a complete poo poo show.

random eg to show that I'm not exaggerating about the iguana thing, ("last week the power went out in the metro area due to a cat, and today it went out again due to an iguana ")
