Hope y'all stay safe from these climate change- fueled storms

Yes, I walked past several. They also said in town many trees were down on homes. A lot of protester tents were damaged or not there when I walked past.
I'm on the Board of a nonprofit that owns a meetinghouse facility. House across the street had a limb take down a power line and the house caught fire. Surge fed into our building and started a small fire in the ceiling and burned out some interior wiring. It's a mess. Looks worse than it is but we're out of business for a while.
Good…then you won’t see them on Facebook bitching about being out of power.
Yes with groceries and little kids. Good one get a car that uses gas and fill it.
They're the ones that drive the big diesel trucks and enforce the rules of the road on cyclists.
Reading the thread reminds of the Vonnegut quote, something like We will be the first to die off because it wasn't profitable to save ourselves.
They expect power on everywhere by midnight tomorrow. Of course, some people, a couple thousand, have already gotten power back. Having been around, that seems wildly optimistic. The damage seems worse than the derecho. But this was pretty much Monroe only, so more crews are available to help.
I do know that I've grown to hate the one person with a generator I can hear in the neighborhood.

Straight line, 78MPH at the airport. The paper interviewed a couple of meteorologists who said the winds lasted longer than straight-line winds normally do and that was the problem.
May not be an official tornado, but I'm convinced there was some rotation going on. Many of the downed trees here show signs of twisting.
One of the neighbors said he heard that same midnight tomorrow prediction. I'm not optimistic but hope that is the case.
We got lucky and got the electrical damage at my nonprofit building fixed today. Waiting on the inspection before Duke will turn the power back on.
They could have pumped him up with twisty drugs or something. Anything's possible.
I'm such a sick bastard that my biggest concern is getting power and cable back by 9.00 pm tomorrow.
Why? I am certain there is nothing on at that time. I told friends if faced with a choice of the debate or a root canal, I choose the root canal.
We got power 30 minutes ago. Xfinity says internet will be restored July 3. But I am connected through my Wi-Fi so I am skeptical.
Around 5 there were maybe 8 trucks and 20 people working in our immediate area.
Sweet. Maybe they are working their way up Leonard Springs and Curry. I can hope.
Comcast sux.
I am pretty sure they now have power as close as 3rd and Curry. It is close.
I am surprised that there’s not a lot of damage to trailers in your park. Seems like that wind would have wreaked havoc.
The homes themselves did okay as long as they didn't get hit by falling trees.
