    Well, Hugh Freeze is coming to the Pink Pony tonight with a hard-on.

    Tess has never once been accused of hyperbole.

    Stop trying to cut this guy a break, or people of his ilk. He's so power hungry he's willing to do an say anything, morals be damned. He's a self centered prick to the point of putting people in danger for his own personal gain and he gives less than one fuck about it. There are plenty of people from impoverished backgrounds who go on to do well for themselves and are plenty kind and decent. This guy ain't that, not even close. He's an asshole, that has prostituted his intellectual ability to point of moral bankruptcy.

    Dan is busy doing the retrospective on Oingo Boingo.

    Last I saw the death toll was up to 45, though they did get all the folks off the top of the hospital. Information on all this has been oddly scant, particularly in Florida.

    At the rate we are going, 100 years from now Danielle Steel novels will be held with the same esteem of Herman Melville.

    You know, it's like every meeting you've ever been to, generally everything is tabled, and nothing is accomplished. Only difference, at the end of any Republican meeting, I envision them burning a cross. I suspect this was a cross burning incident, nothing to see.

    I am more partial to being labeled a goon, thank you very much.

    On a positive note, I'll admit I've learned more about Haitian Americans than I did before all this. It sucks they are having to go thru this bullshit, but hopefully I'm not alone in having had learned more about them.

    My ancestors must not give a fuck, I have yet to be encouraged to start hijacking trucks, bootlegging liquor and in general be a hoodlum. (Operative word, yet...)

    Gonna be a lot of people dead there

    This is a major challenge we are facing. Wanna be scared? Take note of the dates you see on bridges when you drive over them. Chances are, you drive over more from the 1950s and earlier than you think. Many of the dams are pretty much the exact same things, built as new deal projects or post ww2 (most in the area with issues right now are old TVA projects). Considering that most people that were alive during either event are now long dead, and yeah, that's a problem. It was great when we got an infrastructure deal done recently, but to call it adequate to address all our needs isn't realistic. The truth of the matter is we are going to need to allocate significantly more to address these types of problems.

    Also worthy of note, and perhaps most importantly, Newport Tennessee is the hometown of one Marshall Teague, perhaps best known as the bad guy's top henchman in Roadhouse. That alone should qualify the town on the registry of historic places.
  14. BamaATL
    Not sure, the acreage could be confused, apparently the dam was completed in 1930. Worse, the town apparently is directly downstream of it.
  15. BamaATL
    Average listed was 12 feet, which is sort of deceptive in just looking at the dam. Of course that is average, and that's a shit load of water if it has indeed suffered catastrophic failure.
  16. BamaATL
    That's gonna be real bad. For perspective, the arch is 800 feet wide, and 180 feet tall, it holds back a 76 acre lake.
  17. BamaATL
    Without looking it up, my bet is this is an earthen dam, and these are very worrisome in this situation. Worse, there is a shitload of them around. With the benefit of a google search, this does appear to be a concrete dam, the concern about earthen ones stands.
  18. BamaATL
    Seeing conflicting reports about the dam, it's clearly breaching (spilling over the top), but it is intact, and not expected to fail. Neither is good, but if you had to pick one, you take the former rather than the latter.

    State of Georgia National Guard should also be able to contribute, not far from us either.
  20. BamaATL
    11 now confirmed dead in Georgia, including a first responder. According to Kemp's presser, it's a shit show in Valdosta (south central, GA, just north of the border to Florida) with many people currently trapped. I fear greatly for anyone down river from that dam in NC.
  21. BamaATL
    That does not look promising.
  22. BamaATL
    This isn't even the close to the dumbest thing they've done They built a replica of Paris, in the middle of bumfuck China.
  23. BamaATL
    Not far from there, not clear how big the eye was when it went thru there, but at least the eastern portion of the eye was about 40 miles from me, and Athens is about 70 miles from me. Basically, it probably didn't get a direct hit, but it was close. They likely have lots of power outages in that area. Below is the outage map from GA Power indicating 50k plus without power in that area https://outagemap.georgiapower.com/

    You are such an asshole. Everyone knows you get them scattered as well.

    6 deaths reported in Georgia, unclear as to where of yet. I know at least two were killed in a pop up tornado near Brunswick (North of Jacksonville). I suspect that number will climb in the south as more information comes available.
