Florida is about to get raped by the largest hurricane it's ever seen. I have unwaivering faith in Florida man's cockroach like ability to survive against all odds. Godspeed FL kiwis.

Update:

Evacuation orders underway
Monroe County (Keys) is under evacuation order. Miami-Dade County is likely to order South Dade and Miami Beach evacuations tomorrow.

Update 2:

The hurricane is so severe it's reading as an earthquake.

I live to see another day. My brothers, allow me to tell the tale of my suffering:

Power never went out. Watched football all day. Went through all the beer. Lightly scoffed seeing my friends losing power. Cooked pizza. Grilled steak. Saw a big ass gator roaming around the creek in the backyard, clearly mocking the storm and probably looking to get laid. And yet, I was still bored. This curfew shit is bullshit. I got cabin fever real, real quick. The sadistic fuck inside of me was disappointed. I anticipated death and destruction cuz dats wut da newz man told me.

I know that other Florida Mans got affected. However, news outlet and other media used Harvey as a hype train for Irma. As unpredictable as she was, meteorologists should've predicted a significant drain in strength after wailing Cuba. I got extremely lucky in the 24 hours before landfall, with it moving west and whatnot.

Curfew here ends in a few hours, I believe. I'll go out a little bit after that and go explore. See if there's any huge damage.

It really is unfair that robber barons like rinky dink shoe store owners won't have to pay increased insurance premiums due to filing claims after melanin enriched fellows liberate their stockroom of unnecessary footwear nobody can apparently afford.
 
Milo got his top ripped off, took a hard pounding and got blown by a howling dark rough one.

And a hurricane messed up his house.
I wish I could rate this winner an infinite number of times.

Here in GA I've been hearing reports of trees going down and power going out in various parts of the state all day. As far as I know most places are closed today and tommorow, and even public transport shut down. I haven't heard anything about looters thankfully though I don't know if the damage has been bad enough to bring them out.

Sooo... someone just lost their livelihood but they deserved to because they were white and everyone knows that only whites own and run their own businesses. The employees, the accountants, the cleaners, the transport services, the legal system, don't exist, every single business owner does absolutely everything that's needed, from cleaning to imports to driving. The taxes they pay only go straight to the government, and primary services and infrastructure just magically appear out of thin are. The mind blowing complexity that surrounds even the smallest of businesses is irrelevant. Only white people run businesses, so it doesn't matter what happens if they go under.

These SJW nutjobs are hell bent on creating a Communist government. A small amount of 'good' people are deified, while all property and resources 'belong to all people' but really don't. Order will be reinforced with complete destruction of anything and everything that is deemed inappropriate. Free speech is a precious right for all to enjoy, but if anyone says anything other than what is allowed, even to the point of disagreement with a POC about the weather, can expect their reputation torn to shreds, be completely unable to find work, and receive death threats and actual violence against them.

Capitalism is an awful, awful thing, and so is democracy. It's just that they're slightly less horrible than any other systems of economics and government. Getting businesses back up and running is quite literally essential to rebuilding the entire economy. How the hell did the SJWs come to believe that communism works? How did they miss the history classes, the war memorials, the endless lists of people it's killed?

Fuck's sake. We need to round up these dipshits and drop them in the dead centre of the worst of the destruction, tell them that no, there are no shoes and shovels because of massive looting, and that they are going to start cleaning up with bare feet and hands, and that if they need a shovel just use a plank or something. See how long it takes for them to start bawling and shrieking and demanding that they be taken to a shelter and fold sheets in the shelters, and how long it takes after that to proclaim that their role should be changed to 'documenting' everything on social media because obviously that's what is the most important thing of all?

calm down
 
I still can't contact my folks I'm worried sick.
 
I still can't contact my folks I'm worried sick.
My Aunt was saying she couldn't contact some people due to a lot of cell towers being down. So even if they have power on their phones, the phones might not have reception. Not too many landlines anymore.
 
Well, they were hiding in their friends home. I have their numbers, but I can't contact them too. When I turn to the Canadian gouvernment, they aren't doing anything except saying : Well, hope they packed up some food and water. We're waiting until we can get them.

This isn't fucking reassuring mate. If some Florida Kiwis knows when power is re-established, can they send me a message for it? They were in the Caraibes.
 
So apart from a couple voltage drops and power surges, I never lost power. However, the fucking cable (internet and TV) died even before the biggest part of the storm came, coming back on a while ago.

I went to my local supermarket this morning (which has a generator) for some proper food and cigarettes, and from what I've seen in my neighborhood, the worst damage is mostly fallen trees and parts of fences, the former likely not cut properly to resist hurricanes. Most trees lost a third of their leaves, branches, and/or split down the middle. Some crappier roofs of houses are missing pieces. Also, some traffic lights, streetlights, and street signs are mangled or down.

All in all, I suppose it's equal to or somewhat greater than from what I remember from Frances and Jeanne, but nowhere as shitty as Wilma. At least, that's what I can say judging from my immediate area. From assessments in damage, apparently recovery is supposed to be quick. Still, fucking shit...
