I guess I won’t complain about spending a hour in the basement with my wet vac. It helps to live up on a hill.

Although it’s been happening for awhile, I’m guessing this will trigger a new wave of American climate refugees. Sixteen years ago a woman approached me as I was walking into my workplace. Turns out she was looking to apply for work. She introduced herself by saying “Hi, I’m from Katrina”. She got a job and last I knew, she’s still here.

I remember interviewing a group of three women who'd come up to Hartford from New Orleans. Only one stayed for any length of time. They mostly just missed home.

Argh.

This could lead to the reinvention of government(s) on an inefficiently small scale. :(

Glad to hear you didn't suffer much damage! What a hair-raising time ... on so many fronts.

We were spared any damage, really. My neighbors are still digging out.
