... y'know iduno, your signature text doesn't seem to work too well in darkling.

"High category hurricane decided to sit on someone for a day" describes it plenty well, perhaps unfortunately. Since that's more or less what literally happened.

Danish National Symphony Orchestra does the Star Wars Cantina Band song.

E: I, too, like flute.

E2: Bit of Bach can't hurt much.

E3: Violin hiphop? It's not bad.

E4: Moonlight Sonata's 3rd movement by way of like tetris or somethin'.

There are all kinds of people out there. And I doubt that the ones buying up guns are the types to turn tail when presented with the opportunity to kill someone and be hailed as a hero.

They probably are, though, or something to similar effect. Gun hoarding doesn't particularly make you any better at responding to that sort of attack than non-hoarders. About the only thing that does is near-constant training, of the sort that not even most cops or military get.

Firearms are honestly kinda' shit for self-defense, and the issues involved in drawing, aiming, actually pulling the trigger, all from a cold start, especially all while everyone around you is panicking... it doesn't fucking matter what "type" you (think you) are, by that point you're probably already shot or too flustered to get a shot off. More likely you just run and hide, especially initially, and a pile of longarms back home isn't going change that.

'Bout a hour ago, yeah. Looks like there's already vids up of areas where the major parts of the storm have passed. It's. Well, it's the aftermath of a cat 5 hurricane

Hope isn't quite the right word, since landfall isn't every remotely necessary for a storm like this to bring ruin (bahamas be fucked so hard), but something like that seems not unlikely and is probably least-bad of potential options. Still, from what I've picked up it'll still be a day or two before things really firm up -- apparently slower moving hurricanes are harder to predict, for some reason or another. Lotsa' people are hoping it doesn't make landfall (or fuck too much up even without), but it's still a bit early to know with much surety.

Personally, given a choice if I were on the east coast right now, be it florida, or georgia, or SC, I'd be taking a few days vacation a good ways away from the coast. Like a state or two away, just to be sure. Take it from someone that's lived it, a couple days and a road trip in overreaction is a metric fuckton better than being goddamn anywhere near a cat 5 eyewall.

Now seeing reports it's likely going to hit cat 5 in short order. Something like midnight or sooner

... wait, the desert thing? From what I've seen it wasn't actually godawful? Bit cash-grabby, I guess, but alright as a game otherwise.
