I'm prob a bit late on this one, but I'm willing to host evacuating goons. I've got space, and both housemate and I just got over the rona (*we shouldn't be able to spread it to you/yours, and I'm not worried about yall). I'm located in Memphis.

PM me if that'd be helpful for you.

Stay safe, goons.

Only 24% of their budget on police? Pffft. Every city in Texas dedicates at least 30% of their budget to the boys in blue.

I mean yeah I kind of expect the richest country in the world to be able to pull something like this off in way less than 24 hours.

It's funny how often "but it's haaaaaard!" seems to come up to justify government inaction on matters of safety and public well-being. There should be plans for this kind of thing that are read to go literally at a moment's notice.

Re-offering. Any evacuating goons that are in need can shelter at my place - I've got 2 extra bedrooms, spare bed, cot, couches, etc. I have space and am in Memphis. DM me if I can help.

I remember when I was a kid and I learned about the new madrid quake and that causing the ms river to reverse flow and just was astounded as a kid.

storm surge is fuckin wild man.

There is still a lake in existence that was caused by that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reelfoot_Lake

i always thought that was a scam

i'm not a chimney expert here, but I do know that they need to be semi-regularly inspected. a hole in your chimney lining can quickly result in a house fire

House I'm in rn had a major fire due to a prior tenant ignoring that warning.

100+ homeless people died of exposure in Arizona

/e: multiple hundreds

Unless I misread it, that was over the course of 2021 (and they cited 130 homeless of the 339 people who died in Phoenix).
Not trying to minimize their deaths, but that headline was written in a very clickbait-y way.

1,500 over the course of 2021, nationally.

I literally drove around passing out ice water this afternoon. (last week I got the request to bring those little flavor packet things because folks don't like/get bored w just plain water). So at like $.10-.15 a piece, I said sure.

I can/could do more, and I should.
It's loving hot out.
