OT: Hurricanes Lounge XLV: Y2K Twenty-Four Years Later

[Unsustainable]

Power came back on around 3am, some asshole in a tractor trailer truck thought driving the country roads after a hurricane would be a good idea and snagged low lines and ripped poles down

Yay everything is going to get really, really expensive.

Strikes are great!

WW3 is starting too it seems

Led by Manny Diaz, undefeated Duke may be this college football season's biggest surprise

Nobody was expecting the Blue Devils to be 5-0. A peek under the hood shows a resilient team taking its lead from a guy who was jilted in his first head coaching stint but kept at it and landed with a conference rival.

idk how they're unranked.

I mean the only "notable" team they beat is Carolina...by 1 point...who themselves aren't that great. Even State who's been ass would probably be at least 4-1 against those schools

But State would only do that well at the end of the season and when Doreen’s contract was up for renewal.

This is why I don't invest in NC real estate. If you live in NC a stranger can steal your home.

Doesn't you're profile state you are from Atlanta?

Deed theft is common in Georgia. Here’s why.

Deed theft, wrongful foreclosures, fraudulent loans are all ingredients for real estate fraud.

shit like that is pretty common nationally with a variety of different mechanisms. WHOLE bunch of loopholes out there that people are absolutely abusing right now.

It's so weird hearing the sound of helicopters above all the time now but grateful to have them for friends, family and neighbors in the tough spots. Seeing the sense of community and togetherness has been a bright spot in all the sadness.

My new roommates, aka the parents, were able to depart yesterday after 9 days as their power was restored. It was odd at first after years on my own but went rather well. Not sure I am ready to adopt the 5:30 dinner time just yet.

Hey don't knock it! I've been on the 5:30 Dinner Plan for decades!

It’s the time for old folks and parents with young kids ha.

Before going to bed I saw that half the roof had torn off by midnight. Still, its shocking to see it completely gone this morning.

Genuinely curious on what happens here, because they already have a new stadium proposed. Not sure they're going to want to spend much time and energy restoring a likely trashed stadium that is already scheduled to be replaced. (and especially because there's likely to be more pressing issues around the city that will need to be addressed, first)

They had originally designated it as a safe place for first responders.
