It's at the lower end of destruction so far - trees downed, a lot of disruption to services, roads blocked, but not widespread devastation. That said, they are warning today will be worse. Edit: I just saw this, which is a  kind of factquote:This was the region's fifth extreme weather event this year and the emergency response team had been fully activated for all but two days of 2023.

I don't live with Luca anymore, but he is up on a hillside, and I'm on a rise. Unlikely to have any major issues unless a giant wind blast levels the house or something.

Cugel the Clever posted:I thought the initial balloon was alleged to be snooping on missile silos—did it just happen to get lucky in the jet stream to achieve the overflight? Posting out of my rear end (as usual), but couldn't you just slap a propeller on it to fine tune the course? That first one turned out of the wind's direction, and loitered over specific areas. It had some kind of propulsion, whether a propeller or something else.

orange juche posted:the balloon cost is "how much does a mylar envelope and a canister of helium cost?", as they will float at around 60,000 feet with no other effort required. Flight hours are tricky. The pilots that flew these missions got their weekly flight. They just did something for NORAD instead of a generic 2v2 in the nearby military airspace. So those flight hours and associated costs were going to be paid ANYWAY. It's the same reason sporting event flyovers and similar stuff isn't the huge waste of money some people like to claim...it still checks the box for the normal training flight, but it's a different profile which if anything is a good thing because it's not the same poo poo as the last six flights.
