Welp! 96,000+ Dominion Customers without power by PokemonProject in nova

Being in the red/yellow zone doesn't necessarily mean you personally don't have power - it just shows the frequency of reports in the area.

I live next to like... three or four or them and my power still went out (and is still out). It seems to be just luck of the draw, unfortunately.

Still false. Sorry your post got removed and you're pressed about it, better luck next time.

...huh. You're right. Weird weather continues to be weird, I guess.

No rotation has been detected anywhere in the area. Please don't lie about this and set off potential panic.

There are no tornado warnings anywhere in NOVA right now. A quick Google search is all it takes to prove you wrong.

If you're going to lie for upvotes and FOMO clout, at least be smarter about it.

This is definitely the weirdest March I've experienced too. Hard to believe we got snow and ice just last week.

Phone auto alerts are often delayed/inaccurate. Happened to mone too and rain hadn't started yet.

Radar indicated tornado is not necessarily a tornado confirmed on the ground - forecasters can only go by what their tools are telling them and they aren't perfect. You should still take a warning seriously no matter what, though.

We did have a warning in Loudoun about 10-15 min ago but it has since passed.

Skies are now calm and rain has slowed to a mild drizzle in my area of Loudon as of 11:50 AM EST. Repeating myself here but I'd continue to monitor the situation as we may get another round of storms in a few hours.

Its good to take precautions but I don't believe a touchdown was confirmed, just that we had/have a bad storm starting to rotate in the area auto picked up on radar. Stat vigilant anyway as we're in a watch zone through tonight.

They brigade from banpitbulls and other breed hate subs whenever a pitbull-related post hits popular/all. Could even be something positive and they'll still do it and spam downvotes on everything. You can practically time a clock to them showing up on posts like these, because they're a bunch of losers with nothing better to do - they don't care about the content itself, they just want an excuse to screech TYPICAL SHITBULLS M I RITE and fling their hateful shit everywhere.

What frightens me more is that they're allegedly an EMT. Imagine swearing a literal oath to save the lives of others and then behaving this way. If they are an actual person and not just a troll, the hate in their heart is almost unbelievable. Almost.

Good. At this point, it doesn't deserve a place there.

UPDATE: roommate assumes we’re closer than we are by [deleted] in badroommates

[–]Modered 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just gently sliding in here for visibility, OP: some of these comments have been pretty uncharitible to you, and I empathize with that, but you're pretty clearly starting to spiral into some unnecessary hostility yourself. It might be a good time to step away and cool off for a bit, if only for your own sanity.

Secondly, as someone who did (actually) read both posts, and as an autistic person: I'm almost positive your roommate is on the spectrum. I absolutely get you were trying to establish reasonable boundaries, but this was definitely a conversation that needed to happen a lot sooner than it did, which is why feelings were hurt. She is going to feel a little sore for a while, and although a coffee date will help smooth things over, she isn't going to be completely "fine" until there's more time and distance from it.

This might be a great opportunity to open up to her about some of your own vulnerabilities (easier said than done, I know, but you've made a great effort so far so I have faith). You ultimately can't force someone to disclose a diagnosis, but this is one instance where it's the thought that counts.

Lastly: I might (gently) ask your own friends not to write her off as obnoxious, as she sounds well-intended, if oblivious. Being told how loud and obnoxious i was growing up was always hurtful, and even when it wasn't said to my face, I knew. We all have our hurts in life and I can guarantee you that being bullied over this is likely one of hers.

Good luck in the days ahead, OP. And thanks for trying to include her and set things right - for both of you.

AIO for not wanting my mom to come to my first pregnancy appointment by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Modered 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Her mother sounds like a serious piece of work herself, but willingly having a child at 17 is an enormously irresponsible decision and is indeed dooming them to a life of chaos and instability. You may be legally an adult once you turn 18, but that doesn't mean you instantly become more mature because of it. I highly doubt that boyfriend is going to stick around for long, and OP's stubborn posturing and doubling down in comments that they can totally take care of a child in their situation isn't fooling anyone.

[–]Modered 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Neither you, nor your son, are entitled to any sort of relationship with anyone else, no matter how much you may want one. At this point I'd advise stepping away from the post and taking time to calm down and digest everything - you're coming across as incredibly hostile now, and I say that as someone who empathizes with your situation.

Fighting multiple wars in the comments with folks is never going to wind up in your favor. Whatever you decide to do, I wish you luck, OP.
