Probably went a few hundred yards from my parents old house. The tracks they follow literally have an easement through their old property. Can’t believe no one died.

Amazing helicopter footage of the path (going in the reverse direction to the tornado):

Sure, but that’s all you get then, enjoy it.

Bad old town. Never changes.

I’m doing everything in my power to keep my focus on local news in order to keep my anxiety from spiking. While the title of this article is alarming, its content is a mix of good and bad. We’re going to be getting 21K more facemasks, and have accepted a donation of $1M dollars of hand sanitizer.

My parents run a business where they sell foam to people. They recently sold $5K worth of foam to a business that’s shifted their work toward creating masks for people.

My friend who works at a community center has had his work shifted away from overseeing people playing basketball games and stuff toward making curbside pickup meals to give to kids.

But it appears many people south of the border are refusing to stay home and continue to venture outdoors as usual.

As usual, the Loud Neighbors catty-corner across the street continue to gather in groups to drink and party as if nothing’s wrong.
I do not leave my room anymore unless it’s to go to the grocery store once every several days.

I do not want to think about what is going to happen in Mexico. Of course as soon as one American died Mexico, previously the greatest threat to all that is pure and good, effectively ceased to exist in the US media, but Trump is going to have a field day when the numbers start rolling in.

I suspect it will be a late wave rolling through that not many will be prepared for.
My doctor is masking and gloving up, and admitting only one person at a time into the office. There has been one confirmed case there already, which means it’s in my neighborhood.

I am going to go out on a limb and blame toxic masculinity for the foolishness of ignoring the warnings.

All they had to do was say, “Hey, here’s a way we can really stick it to Trump!”

I wish they would just say that he’s lying through his teeth rather than just saying “without offering evidence”.

And better yet, simply say, “The President again lied constantly through the briefing.” and rather than report on what he said, simply give the facts that stand against his lies

On Sunday in my town police had to intervene, because despite religious ceremonies being limited to max. 5 people more tried to attend the mass:
