“What, exactly, have you been scared of? Me? Or my intimidating manhood?”

“Of course not you.”

I shook my head, glancing up, not bothering to acknowledge his other, wicked comment.

The southeastern united states contain the Atlantic Plain. The ground is made up of sand and clay and it consists mostly of wetlands and marshes. It's also densely populated by humans, and over the last 300 years, we've "cleared" a lot of it away. Thing is, when you dig up the marshes to build, you dig up the network of roots and plant life that keeps the ground together.

The towns are gone because the ground can't hold itself together. The earth was swept out from under them with the storm surge. If infrastructure still exists in those places, there's no telling what kind of foundation, if any, is left under to support it. There are likely huge pockets of empty space under anything still standing. Those power trucks weigh 7.5 tons; even if the roads were clear enough to drive on, it would be exceptionally difficult to do so SAFELY.

It's bleak. The next several weeks are going to be a slow roll out of just how extensive the damage is. Even worse, a hurricane of such magnitude will set off a chain of related disasters: tornadoes will be more common, flash flooding will lead to mud and/or land slides and sinkholes are gonna open up where those air pockets are.

Here is NOAA's guide for hurricanes. Unfortunately there's not much you can do to after the storm, but this guide goes over any information you might need.

However, since the storm is over, the most important advice I can give you is

STAY OUT OF THE WATER

Nearly HALF of fatalities happen after the storm itself, and many of them happen from going into the water.

Here's my incomplete list of things that will kill you:

Natural gas lines may have burst. Be aware of smells like rotten eggs

Waterborne illnesses, including flesh eating bacteria

Water moves. Currents can sweep you away, just like in the ocean

I don't care if you're Michael Phelps, you WILL drown if you try to swim

There is no way to tell how deep water is by looking at it; what looks like a puddle could be 12 feet deep. By extension,

TURN AROUND DON'T DROWN: the old adage for driving after a hurricane. Don't try to drive through water. Above bullets STILL apply when you're in a car

Fire ants.

Yes, really. When it floods, fire ants form a massive ball like in the ant bully and float away to safety. If you touch a floating ant island, they will swarm you. Looks like this:

Stay away from any and all animals. I know you feel bad and want to help, but

1, you can't even help yourself right now; the fuck are you gonna do with a raccoon?

And 2, animals will kill you. out of stress, out of hunger, because of disease, out of fear

Rabies. As far as you are concerned,

ALL ANIMALS HAVE RABIES

Every strange mammal is now a zombie who wants to infect you and doom you to the same fate

Literally, rabies is a neurological targeting virus that attacks your nervous system and brain

Rabies is a TERRIBLE and PAINFUL way to die

If you don't get immediate treatment after exposure, you WILL die. Full stop

If you experience ANY rabies symptoms it is too late for treatment and you will die

Here's what your death will look like:

First you have the worst flu symptoms of your life and nerve damage

Then it attacks your nervous system, and you will either have

Furious rabies: aggression, seizures, hallucinations, facial paralysis, hydrophobia, aerophobia, delirium

Or Paralytic rabies: weakness and paralysis that slowly spreads from the infection site to your whole body

Then you go into a coma

And then you die

Thank you for your attention. Try not to die.

I think they’re underreporting the sheer amount of damage Helene has caused. Entire towns are gone. 50 confirmed deaths already. Down power lines everywhere. Emergency responders are swamped. Stoplights are out. There’s a down live power line at the bottom of my mom’s mountain and the sheriff is like “yeah, I know. we called the power company and they’re not going shit.”

i used to be so good at writing strong, thoroughly-researched, thoroughly-edited essays.

as a kid in hs, my teacher literally came up to me, holding my 40 page essay on the intersection of the European witch hunts and capitalism/exploitation/gender roles (it was supposed to be 7 pages...whoops) and went like "this is literally a master's-degree level thesis. what are you doing?? you could literally use this as your final dissertation in a master's program, what the fuck."

NOW??? NOW?? you'd think I'd be oh so skilled. but alas. i can barely piece together two ideas. adhd skill-regression is so so real. im SOBBING

I think that instead of being super apprehensive about Jason and him dating Roy, Oliver should take one look at him and then one look at Bruce and go oh, I'm about to be so annoying.

Oliver starts being so nice to Jason. So nice. Inviting him to family dinners. Giving him both his hero communications and personal phone number and telling him to call whenever he needs something. He gives him new tech and keeps updating his weapons and armor. He helps with missions and clean up and says nothing if Jason is a little rough, apart from patting him on the back and saying good job. He starts keeping his picture inside his wallet and has other pictures of Jason, Roy and Lian framed in the house and tells everyone about him. He starts calling him son-in-law first and then just son and then calls him a Harper and eventually a Queen.

At first it was just to annoy Bruce, but after the first time he tells Jason that he did a good job and Jason starts to tear up a little, Oliver goes oh no, oh I'm actually doing this now. This my boy now. I don't care if he and Roy break up or something, this is my boy now.

Bruce still thinks he's just doing it for the sole purpose of pissing him off, though, and he is so fucking mad. The Justice League meetings have turned into a Cold War zone.

Bruce starts to being so nice to Jason as well, forcing himself to ignore some of the more outrageous things Jason does, and Jason is so, so fucking confused.
