Being in a hole is the best place in a tornado; it beats being above ground.
But no one should be anywhere near Milton. Those twisters are intense.

No, I don't think your assessment is unreasonable at all.
And the hurricane isn't even officially onshore yet!

That’s fucked. I got the sealant spray in all my inner tubes now. Totally paranoid riding now thinking I will get another thorn, Looking down trying to locate where they could be. I’m gettting sick of San Jose. It’s too congested.I’m looking for another job. Lol. Plus I still have Washington State plates that are good until Feb and I don’t want to go to the Ca dmv to get them into California plates , like selling my soul to the devil or something.

The one hand not knowing what the other was doing. The pilot had checked in at another airport, but those guys hadn't forwarded his info, so they thought he was a hotshot or whatever. The next day he was back flying. There has been some close calls in the first few days when lots of folks were flying down into steep hollers with heavy loads who had never done that kind of flying before.

Yeah you know everytime i go back there to visit someone i see a shit ton more residential building going on. I’ve helped build allot of commercial buildings so that part doesn’t surprise me but when I go back it is getting more and more crowded in the outskirts of SJ it’s crazy. I’d still love to live back in Ben Lomand again though. I love the North State where i’m at nowadays except for the fucking fires
This will be me and my buddies once we get that first fall rain

Yes they weren't filing flight plans and potentially other issues so order had to be maintained. I used to fly to Big Bear Lake from SNA and the airport is surrounded by mountains at about 6500ft. Similar approach issues with Brackett Field out here too. You have to come over these hills and there's up and down drafts you aren't used to, very dangerous if you don't know, especially if you're moving slowly with flaps deployed.

It hasn't rained in so long… it’s brutal. I will be happy as well. And the heat . It’s hard to breathe sometimes here. Not as bad as being on the 99 corridors though. The hills are so dry.Yeah you know everytime i go back there to visit someone i see a shit ton more residential building going on.

Just wanted to remind folks what FEMA does and does not do. They cut checks mainly. The biggie is debris removal. Six years ago today, when Michael hit Mexico Breach, the town's annual budget was $5M. Debris removal from the storm was $160M. No way a small town could swing something like that. That is where FEMA comes in. Most of the time there is a 90/10 split on cost. But I think they paid 100% in that case.
The state and local folks (with help from the National Guard and LOE's from around the country) are in charge of search, rescue and relief delivery. I had National Guard handing out MRE's in town, and had about half a dozen NJ State Police handing out cases of water here on the Sandhill. (they walked up on me while I was having a safety meeting. They didn't mention it, just ask what they could do to help) FEMA might bring in some teams from around the country, but locals do the actual work. I'm not sure of the cut, but FEMA does pay for some of the travel and or overtime.
Most FEMA folks are roughly like insurance adjusters. They check on claims and cut checks.

Careful pushing back on Republican lies. You'll get accused of inciting assassination.

As parts of Florida went dark from Helene and Milton, the lights stayed on in this net-zero, storm-proof community
The developers of the new Hunters Point community, Pearl Homes, billed the property as the first “net-zero” single-family home development in the US, meaning residents produce more energy from solar panels than they need, with the excess energy either being stored or sold back to the grid – in a state where most electricity is generated by burning natural gas, a planet-warming fossil fuel.

Putting a tariff on solar panels from China would only increase the price and slow down the adoption of solar power. The subsidizing of fossil fuels is the leading obstacle to the transition to clean energy.

China's strategy of identifying solar panels, batteries and electric cars as three strategic industries to subsidize was pretty smart and rather than complain, the United States should simply do the same. We would gain all the benefits they did.

President Donald Trump decided on Monday to slap tariffs on imported solar panels.
