Thanks for clarifying. Gonna be a wild storm!

I’m curious what your thoughts are on dry slots, or do the ranges incorporate that potential?

Every. Fucking. Day.

Bog witch sweat pants and a hoodie because fuck if I’m leaving my house today.

I was offline all day at a floodplain managers conference and came back to more than 3,500 of you following. I have no idea how y’all found me, but I won’t be posting much, will go long periods with this app deleted, and will basically have no idea what’s going on.

Oh. Lord.

I’m planning to get as ripped as fuck so if I get the opportunity to punch a nazi, it will actually leave some damage.

This is how I am approaching it too. Unsubscribed from NYT and WaPo and I’m basically checking out of most social media. I have to pay attention to some stuff for work, but will only do that on working hours. Refuse to let them terrorize me like they did the last time.

I finally just put on some dancy music and am doing nonstop bits and pieces of things. I need to move and do shit. Brain isn’t working anymore.

Stress baking with a tummy ache and zero appetite.

The bad place is collapsing again.

I know I am too old to stay up all night and then go to work the next morning. Thankfully last night I didn’t have to stay out too late. I still did, because pics or it didn’t happen, right? Amazing night to remember how small we all are!

Though it’s extra weird because parts of western NC are in a literal rainforest. And have had smaller scale catastrophic floods before. And the lowlanders are used to rain bombs. I guess they thought it couldn’t happen there? I dunno. I am so out of patience right now.

Yeah the Certified Smart People Thoughtleader adaptation crowd have often pointed to Asheville as a climate migration spot in the southeast because 1) no SLR and 2) it’s cooler in the mountains. That crowd was also stunned last summer to learn Vermont floods too. This shit is my day job. I am tired.

That program sort of exists in the US but it relies on local government allowing the property to be taken off the tax roll AND the owner is willing to sell. It takes so long that many who start the process give up and rebuild or they walk away.

Same. Good night to sit outside and read a book. And then avoid all news and social media for a few days.

Especially when the yankee institute calls everything a gas tax.

My coworker and i were just talking about this, and how this is one of the reasons why so many people think government isn’t doing anything.

This one especially. Moderates who want the credit, but not do the work are the hardest for me to deal with these days.

Climate Change is Changing How We Dream A new survey reveals that climate change has woven itself into the “fabric of dreaming.”

Oh this is good timing. My dreams have been completely bonkers with weird climate threads throughout lately.

For someone trying to ditch social media, I sure create a lot of social media accounts these days. No this is not a return to posting regularly, but more about trying to keep my eyes on all y’all and ensure my daily plans complement the weather.
