My buddy in Tampa got flooded from Helene like he sent me pictures and the water was above his toilet in his house. It was that high so his house is already fucked and now this is coming. His wife is all worried about it but he was telling me like hey we haven't started fixing the house yet and it's already going to cost me a shit ton. So really besides the house falling over what worse could happen? I guess that's a good way to look at it.
Down here it's just going to be a tropical storm. The schools are off though on Wednesday and Thursday, but I think that's just because they were criticized in the past for not being proactive enough. I mean really a tropical storm is nothing to worry about like usually you don't even lose power during one of those. But I charged all my shit and I have all my hurricane preparedness stuff from earlier this summer so Even if it shifts to the South I would be good to go without power for like 3 days probably before things start getting annoying.
Being that I live at a business I'm pretty sure I'm on the same power grid as the stoplight on the big road that I can see from my window and the Walmart next to me and I imagine stop lights in Walmart kind of get priority when they're trying to get the power back on. So as long as like the actual lines to my house don't snap I should be good.
