Hurricane Season
- Thread starter JHDK
- Start date
Yeah, when Americans are affected by uncontrollable weather events, the government sends billions of dollars. But when Americans are affected by uncontrollable medical events, they're on their own. Better to be wiped-out by a hurricane than be hit with cancer.
Only weak people get sick in America. We cannot help them. They will only slow us down.
This story somehow gets even worse:

I got home from work a little after 7:00 tonight, and the garage door wouldn't open.
Neighbor came out and told me that power on our block went out around 6:00.
I lit some candles, found the flashlights, and probably reached for the TV remote at least 8 ties in the first 15 minutes.
Couldn't cook what I was going to cook for dinner, so I made a grilled bologna sandwich. (Not too bad.)
Power just came back on 20 minutes ago.
I could have napped through it, but we watched most of Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind on my laptop.
I had about 2 hours of battery left.
On the "Suck Scale" it rated almost a 1/2. You guys down in hurricane territory would hardly have noticed it.

Glad you were able to persevere through such trying times.
Dude you need a commerative "I survived the great power outage of 2017" t-shirt to mark the occasion!

Could have just waited a month and killed 2 birds with the end of DST.

I have become addicted to the hurricane centre prediction screens.

Howzabout that. Canada has a "centre" for hurricanes.
Old school HTML is not dead: Hurricane Track - Environment Canada
I guess they like seeing all the storms that will never, ever hit them.

Hurricane season causes me anxiety as a homeowner. I'm glad when cold fronts start moving in, and decrease the odds of a storm headed in my direction.
F! F! F! F!
I'm directly in the cone on this one. I was comfortable thinking we survived another hurricane season with no storm here, and then this one forms.
Now I need to worry about boarding up the windows, picking up loose items in the yard, and bringing the food in the refrigerator over to my parents since they have a generator, because there's likely to be power outages.
Ruining a portion of my favorite month.
Bad week. Woke up Monday to the Las Vegas news, then Tom Petty, and now this. Uggggh.
