not sure what to expect. we had Hurricane Mathew come through a couple years ago but it wasn't much of anything.


people are freaking the fuck out over this one. i should be pretty good. i don't have enough emergency water but if we lose power water should still flow anyway. got some batteries and flashlights and propane to grill up some shit. a charchoal backup.

That only works as long as the pumping stations maintain power. You may want to filter/boil the water as who knows how this will impact the quality of the water. Stay safe and tie your shoelaces really tight. If I have learned anything on reddit if the shoes fly off you dead.
I triple knot and duct tape my shoes on now.

Haha what?

I will have filtered water in lots of containers for use. Shouldn’t have an issue boiling water. And I guess I have duct tape for my shoes.

I think the shoes thing comes into play because people who lose their shoes and have to go barefoot or just socks in high water tend to get cuts, which get infected by nasty ass stormwater.

But I would have far moreso prioritized having booze and non-power reliant communication and entertainment options than shoes.

Omaha, I hope that you live, even though you always wish me to have a bad time at the few Colts games that I am able to attend in person.

It is a Reddit meme often found in the comments of subreddits that feature videos of drunk people doing stupid shit or wrecks that involves shoes flying off with the impact. Basically I was just being a dork.

I have a friend who's son is a commander with the USCG. His advice, get the hell out of there. The USCG has cleared out, so they can return to what is left.
