Atlanta got lucky. Storm ended up going like 100 mi east of original projection after landfall. Augusta got nailed.
Upstate SC not so much. Power out everywhere and my roof just started leaking

Tampa and St Pete got flooded bad. Lots of fires. A friend’s friend had their house burn down b/c their Tesla caught on fire
My brother south of Asheville is getting socked. He’s at some elevation so his place should be ok I think. I’ve heard any deets since last night.
Stupid auto-correct. But then again MJ is the GOAT.

I’ve got family all over East TN/Western NC. They are fine but the Great Smoky Mtn Area is pretty much entirely flooded. They said basically every mountain town and road is flooded/closed/gone.
This is hospital is in Erwin, TN, about 15 miles south of where my Dad grew up in Johnson City.

So after Idalia last year now Helene you would think people might consider alternatives to this region, wouldnt u?
How much does the average joe get on emergency funds from the government? Or do you solely rely on your insurance?
Not an expert, but this might be relevant
My brother is in Augusta and got hit really hard. Still no power, many houses crushed with trees. He had a giant tree uprooted in his yard but was lucky it didn’t hit the house. Also no cell service, many houses don’t have water.
Not paying a ton of attention I had to look where Augusta is on a map, I mistakenly thought they were not really in the path of the storm.
That shift east really caught folks unprepared.
My brother lived through a handful of Florida storms including Andrew has been belittling neighbors in Asheville acres as they claim they survived a hurricane. (Belittling is what he does best).

Dude just casually filming. I’d be getting the hell out of there to higher ground.
At least he’s got his floatation device ready.

Thanks Biden
Last I see it’s 90%, not 100% and while it would be more expensive to refine it from other sources, not impossible. Still, a major disruption if something happens there.
I think that’s what the article says, that it would be several years of discomfort while they shift to synthetic production.
