      Oh yeah I’m making jokes but I can only imagine what these people are about to go through.

      My father was in NC when Helene hit and almost died as the road he was on collapsed down the mountain. That’s 3 whole ass states away from the hurricane landing and it still did that much damage. Milton is gonna seriously fuck people up.

        It’s going to be just like the rest of the world’s problems, this quote sums it up best: “An SEP,’ he said, ‘is something that we can’t see, or don’t see, or our brain doesn’t let us see, because we think that it’s somebody else’s problem. That’s what SEP means. Somebody Else’s Problem. The brain just edits it out, it’s like a blind spot. If you look at it directly you won’t see it unless you know precisely what it is. Your only hope is to catch it by surprise out of the corner of your eye.” Douglas Adams, Life, the Universe, and Everything

      9% of the world that still uses mph as a unit of measure includes the USA, Myanmar, Liberia, and the UK. I am part of the 91%.
