I made this comment over on the following thread: https://greatawakening.win/p/15JnKhl32r/a-hurricanes-acomin-oh-my-oh-my/c/

I normally wouldn't bother reposting this, but the more I think about it, the more troubling it feels. Keep in mind my immediate neighbors mostly lean conservative, are definitelt anti-Biden, and were ostensibly against the jab - though I suspect they all got it (that's another story...)

Other anecdotes appreciated. WWG1WGA (but boy, it's sure hard sometimes!)

"This seems like a pretty good place to post my recent hurricane experiences with my neighbors... Boy did they disappoint.

We kept power the entire time. Never really suffered. I was actually out and about in the car a good portion of the actual storm. Nothing crazy, but I was out there because I had to be. So I saw what was actually going on on the roads, etc. Wasn't much in our area, to be honest. We definitely got lucky.

After the storm, everyone was gathered around like crazed ants, picking up what little debris they had from the storm. One neighbor lost a wall of his 20 year old fence. That was the worst of it.

The hectic energy was PALPABLE and disturbing. I was sitting in the front porch while my kid played in the mud. People kept coming up to me, telling me what a horrible disaster it was "out there". People up to their necks in water! Whole swaths of road out! Armageddon!

I asked "What? Where are you talking about? I've been out a lot during the storm (running stuff to shelters) and saw very little of this."

My functional, first hand experience was more than completely ignored - it went completely unregistered. Eyes turned blank the moment they heard me speak. The wheels turns slowly in their heads as their minds literally crawled over and around what I'd just said to them. I was at the shelters. I was on the roads. What?

Most people just stopped the conversation and went back to raking up debris. Only one person bothered to carry on conversation beyond this point. She told me "you really need to watch the TV! It's a disaster out there!"

I said "Well, we don't have a TV..."

She got in her car and left, to go randomly drive around seeking out fear porn.

It was surreal. We still have a long way to go to wake up these people."
