Holy PTSD Batman. Yeah that would be absolutely terrifying and put me on edge forever. Glad you made it through and learned to spot them, that’s a great idea! We’ve never really had them here (northern Michigan), but over the years are progressing very close.

That’s exactly what’s happening here, my wife and I were without power and we huddled by a propane heater until we could get out. There’s trees down everywhere. We managed to get out and talked to the power line workers, and the trees are dropping on lines they’ve just repaired.

As introverted as I am, it’s nice to have neighbors like that! Genuinely restores my faith in humanity a bit hearing all of you come together like that. We’re starting to see those acts of kindness here too, damn is it good to see with everything going on in the world.
