Taxpayer money would immediately be spent to rebuild it and also line several large pockets.

A co-worker of mine was staying with her son for the hurricane, but his home got caught up in the flooding and she had to be rescued.  Thankfully, she's safe.

Harvey flashbacks

I was in a 3rd floor apt thankfully but I'll never forget that storm. When I see vids like this it takes me back to seeing friends and coworkers places get farged

I'm several hundred miles away from Ft Myers and this bitch has not let up for a single second since yesterday afternoon.   I personally lost power at 5:00 PM yesterday and FPL refused to send anyone out to my house since one customer doesn't mean shtein to them.  There's bigger fish to fry than that, though.  It is howling right now and the storm was supposed to pass north of us and now it's going to exit south of Kennedy Space Center. 

Truly awful storm.   I'm not much for prayers but holy shtein I hope those folks down south are ok.

My sister just sent me a video of her kid mooning the hurricane, so I guess they're doing okay. Didn't lose power down in the Tampa area.

[ice grillin you]

anyone see the video of all the water in tampa getting pushed out to sea...basically the opposite of a storm surge...pretty cool

also why doesn't florida have more power lines underground?...i never really understood that

[Rome]

The high tension transmission lines aren't underground, so if those are damaged or destroyed, it really doesn't matter if the others are below ground.

The real reason is cost.  It's enormously expensive to go underground plus you need permission to dig whereas with regular lines they just string em up.

New subdivisions all have underground electric here without exception.  But again, if the main lines go out, everyone is out.  That's what's happened in SW Florida.

5G seems to be working just fine in this clusterfarg.  Our 900 MHZ radios are shteinting the bed as usual but the tower we have on the east side of the county has worked perfectly.  Go figure.

Well of course the government would make sure the mind control rays would keep working.
