By the way this is seriously the best forum software I've ever used. It just did my taxes for the next two years and switched me to a different car insurance that's gonna save me $500 a year without me even having to ask.
It's fucking horrible. Even for her it's extra-retarded, maybe she needs four years to write a pop album instead of three.
Video from Rockport, TX this morning. I suggest muting the audio. Rockport is about 40 miles from my house. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10150897356849996
When it comes to survival beer is important. If you watch any survival show you can learn that there are about 1,000,000 uses for a beer can.
We're fine, it's just a wind event here. Harvey's late turn east spared us the brunt of it. I'm gonna have a lot of clearing to do with limbs and stuff around the house, but at least I can use it for BBQ wood.
Yeah I have some friends and relatives of coworkers who are in the affected areas. Dumbasses who decided to try to ride out the storm. Odds are some will die. Hate to say it, but that's what they get for staying. Things can be replaced, people cannot. The warnings were put out early and often and everyone knew that. They knew their houses were just things. Storms like this are great for killing off the stupid people population. If only it happened before the election though.
I move around, a lot, so I don't get the mentality of staying. I get some people are more connected to the place they live than I can comprehend. But are dry wall, mortar, and random possessions worth risking life for? The land will still be there, it'll still be yours when you get back. Why risk something that irreplaceable. If that bad of a storm, the kind of storm thats going to rip a persons house and land apart, is going to hit, whats the point of staying? Theres nothing a person can save by staying. It reminds me of when the fires hit San Diego. When the fires come, there's nothing a person can do to stop them, so its all about gathering whats worth saving, and getting out early.
And yet we never got one damn drop of rain down here. I purposefully told Jungle Julia to not water the plants/yard because I was expecting a huge downpour. Well, this isn't called the asshole of Texas for nothing.
Again, because people are idiots. The ex husband of a co-worker lives in Port Aransas. He stayed, despite the mandatory evacuations. Somehow he is still alive, though he said a good portion of the island is literally gone. Like, maps are going to be re-drawn because landmass has moved kind of gone. The news just reported that an estimated 40% of rockport didn't evacuate. There's going to be a lot of bodies from this one.
