Reminder to anyone in the path of #Milton

When speaking to your insurance, do NOT use the word "flood". No matter what your claim is, do NOT say that word. Use the following words ONLY:

- hurricane
- wind-driven rain

Your insurance will try to trick you into turning it into a flood claim, so they can then categorically deny it. Don't fall for it.

Who Will Care for Americans Left Behind by #Climate Migration?
—

#HurricaneHelene was the latest in a generation of storms that are intensifying faster and dumping more rain as the climate warms. It's precisely the kind of event expected to drive more Americans to relocate as climate change gets worse — leaving behind those who are older, poorer and more vulnerable.

For those who don't understand how Americans relate a waffle restaurant to weather events:

Waffle House restaurants are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. They do NOT close for ANY reason except impending catastrophe.

So when Waffle House reports that all locations in a city have been closed due to weather, that area is most likely fucked after the storm is over.

The National Weather Service is warning that flooding in Western North Carolina will be "one of the most significant weather events to happen ... in the modern era" and that it is comparable to the flood of record, which hit in 1916.
