Seeing the toll it has taken on others and all of the crazy misinformation has been really disheartening, however. I feel you, EDE. especially because the misinformation is a distraction - and even an obstacle - to getting aid & help to folks.

It's just frustrating to join local social media groups in the hopes.of finding ways to help out or at least connect with people over what's going on, only to have to leave them due to the proportion of crap they contain.

Still "Fickles" to my friends.

One of my customers who I work very closely with is an organization dedicated to helping citizens in particular crises, and the way they were vilified in the last four/five years is both frustrating and disheartening.

Just lost my dispatch because the 'cane dropped a bunch of stuff at her place in SC. Power was out for a week. She had to drive miles to even charge her phone, and the company drove her nuts during that time.
It's shit storm effect just keeps growing.
Damn you, you kids! Get off my lawn or I'm callin' tha cops!
Something pithy!

It's been tough here in Georgia, USA. I was without electricity for a week, some for longer. Many had no water. My cell phone worked about 20% of the time. Got Internet back this morning after 17 days. (Good to see you, Legion World!) My house and I are fine, but a lot of people are displaced. 100+-year-old trees are down everywhere. The main streets are clear now but many were impassable the first several days. My church did a food and supply distribution to 900 people last Tuesday before we ran out of supplies. We're doing it again tomorrow. We're all amazed more lives weren't lost. It's gonna take a while to get everyone intact again.
But Helene did worse in western North Carolina. And then Milton came through Florida. We're just trying to hold on down here in the South and appreciating all those who've been through this before, wherever you are.

Hang in there LT!!! I'm glad you're in better shape than a lot of others.
Yet another good reminder to donate to the charities serving the storm victims!

Great to hear from you LT, and that you're safe and well. As Ibby said, communities pulling together in adversity is what makes us the society we are.
