God damned Tech-tyrants.

Can y'all please stop confusing Nazarenes with the motherfucking KKK?

Anyone dealing with crappy weather rn? Or bad thunderstorms?

Earlier today, it stormed really hard.

had some last night

I’m probably about to lose power. Already had power flicker enough to lose Internet connection.

where yall located?

sorry to hear that

At least my country didn't lose 10k soldiers against a much smaller army led by a man that was missing an eye, an arm and a leg. 😉

US Gulf Coast

Here it was nice weather, like 20°C at 2pm

@Meme Bard tejas?

Yesterday was a pretty day where I was. It's just getting hit by a band of thunderstorms. And @Seatoast no

I probably could've more specific with my location.

Hopefully you don't loose power and if you loose have been smart enough to prepare

I've been juicing up my batteries

Couple of concerns I have--tree branch possibly falling on my car and the animals at my sister's house not being okay, especially the chickens

Way to heat food? Like wood stove or Trangia or something. It would suck if you wouldn't have warm food. We sometimes Have lost electricity during winter for day or two and without wood stove it would suck

We have fire pit and some coal. Sadly, no wood stoves. Pretty sure we have a working generator now, however.

Ah that's good. Fire pit is good but if it's storm outside that would suck.

Yeah, but it should only be bad tonight according to meteorologists.

Lemme check the radar rq

Might have some more bad bands coming around midnight.

Hopefully it's only tonight, are you living in area where restoring grip takes long?

Nah. It's kinda rural, but not far from a big city.

Last time we had a bad storm take out power, it was a tropical storm last year (forgot its name already) and my sister had power out for about 16 hours. It was more annoying than anything else. My dad's house got power in about 6.

I'm not too worried about this storm unless another tornado warning says hello

It usually takes day or two to them to restore the grip for our area so though that candles would be good thing to put burning so they provide light and a bit of a heat. Tbh especially 2011 wind storm when I was still quite young the electricity cut was more comfy and nice cause we are lucky enough to have resources for heating food and house and we basically played trivial pursuit and stuff in candle light

I'm sure that my sister keeps candles around. I know my mom keeps kerosene lamps around, and my dad has those bright long-lasting LED lamps.

That's good

The 2011 dagmar day storm actually knocked over one shed in the field, now I know it ain't anything special for some other places but here it was something to remember

@Seatoast how ypu've bee man aside from yesterday I haven't heard from you in a while

How's that basset hound?

@MerricBrady Bassets are amazing and anyone who doesn't like them is to regarded with suspicion.

I just wanted to call you a fag

Too late, you are already on the watch list.

I like bassest hounds though

why would anyone breed basset hounds so low though

dogs from 100 years ago were so much better

Dacshund supremacy
