    God that must be awful. Your whole life you work hard and earn the money to buy a house, you keep your whole life in there, it’s your HOME. And then some fucking storm comes and just destroys it all. I mean, hopefully you & your loved ones survive, and that’s all that really matters, but to see all the physical representation of your life just washed away. I feel terrible for those people.

    Yeah, I’m not in a flood zone, but seeing things like this is why I mounted a hatchet on my attic wall. It’s pretty certain I’ll never need it, but I can live a little lighter with the delusion that I’ll be able to hack my way onto the rooftop instead of dying, unfound, in a sweltering attic.

      How about… you cram it right about now?

      When I woke after Hurricane Ivan I went outside and cried in the street. That was a love tap compared to this.

        No we can’t talk about gun violence after a shooting! Have empathy! We shouldn’t talk about war right after an invasion, think of the people there.

        Well, when the hell is it okay to talk about climate change? After years of rebuilding when no one cares again, just in time for an even strong storm? You, yes you right here, should be absolutely pissed about climate change. Oil companies and major polluters are causing this, you should abso-fuckin-lutely want to be talking about it

        So when would it be appropriate to talk about the causes of the increasing frequency of natural disasters in your opinion?

      There are many more we won’t know about until next week. This is a national tragedy.
