they don't know all alien abduction experiences can be explained by people thinking saving private ryan was a documentary

They're not all dead, people just wander off to some friend's house and drown their sorrows in booze for a few days and don't bother checking in after a disaster like this. But yeah a couple thousand dead might be plausible hahaha :lmao:

There is nothing I want to be. There is nothing I want to do.
I don't even have an image of what I want to be. I have nothing. All that exists is zero.
before the storm really hooked east, they had it heading for Tampa Bay and my county had mandatory evacuation for zones A B and C

the zones only go up to E, my house is like a few blocks into zone D

also it intensified a lot more than they expected after it went over Cuba

everything is all hosed up and I think a lot of folks in Lee County stopped paying attention on Tues morning when it looked like it was hitting further north

If this storm had hit the left side of Tampa Bay we could have seen 10k dead for sure

If it cracks a thousand it'll be top 5 for the US and only really exceeded by Katrina as far as modern storms go.

So, uh, yeah, hopefully most of those people just hosed off somewhere.

You know it:

Lee County was created in 1887 from Monroe County, with Fort Myers serving as the county seat.[3] It was named for Robert E. Lee, Confederate general in the American Civil War.[15]

Residents of Florida island cut off from the mainland by Hurricane Ian are set to return to survey the damage to their homes

quote:

“There are a lot of places that are not livable. There are places off their foundation, and it’s very dangerous out there,” Sanibel Fire Chief William Briscoe has said. “There are alligators running around, and there are snakes all over the place.”

We'll Meet Again
On the day of the storm I got a call from a client I touch computers for. They couldn't get on teams, couldn't sync onedrive. I try remoting in, no dice. She mentions there is 'a bit of weather'. She was in Venice, FL working from her summer home still at 3 in the afternoon. They didn't scare these ppl appropriately. 2 hours later her home was underwater.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
I wish for all the storms to go away and stop hurting people :)
