Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

My hometown has a mandatory evacuation order for manufactured homes and trailers for the whole county. Which is a significant portion of the population, including the house I grew up in.
I’ve seen them do evac orders for the towns nearest to the coast because of the storm surge, I’ve never seen something for the whole county just because of the wind.
I’ve said for years that I look forward to one day taking a boat to see the sunken ruins of my hometown, but I was expecting to do that in like 2060 not 2025
I'm in the Tampa area and same. I talked to a woman at the laundry mat tonight who is going to ride it out in her mobile home. Hope she is okay. I already have some people coming over to my place to ride it out who are in other lower flood zones.
Oh god I hope she’s safe. Thats terrifying. You also stay safe.
