    My in-laws are bitching about “how bad” the weather will be after it makes it’s way to Ohio.

    I understand losing power for a few hours is irritating, but have some fucking perspective. You can go see actual devastation with a single tank of gas.

      Also, Milton is projected to cross from the Gulf straight across Florida into the Atlantic.

      I’m no meteorologist, but I’m pretty sure Ohio’s weather isn’t going to be significantly impacted this time.

    I was in high school when Charlie, Francis, and Jeanne rolled through. That was awful, the compounding storm damage really fucked over a lot of people, it was the third one that did in my family’s roof, and we had blue tarps over the damage for over a year and we were fortunate enough to be able to call roofers the next day. I was still finding the rare bit of insulation in my stuff years later when I was packing to move.
