Post two sets of storms last night, we have again lost power. But this time I made coffee as prep, so am just using my backpacking stove to reheat it, and we have 6L water ready for the day.
Tom is checking hail damage; having had hail the size of quarters, I don't expect completely good news, but the household is safe and no trees came down #Storms #Tennessee #BePrepared -

Here's a map summary page for those of you who are in the potential path of #Winter #Storm #Fern
Winter #IceStorms aren't new to us in the north, and our infrastructure here is geared to tolerate them, but they can be far worse than massive #SnowStorms to all of us, regardless of our geographical location.
Folks die from the 'fallout' of the storm, not just the storm itself.

As humans, we have the terrific capability of learning from the experience of others through empathy, kindness, and wisdom… Look at our beloved friends who suffer unimaginable hell… yet are still around and still endure… Be grateful for what you have. Always, always advocate for peace — but don't be naive. Also, always, always be ready for any and every eventuality. #Empathy #Kindness #Wisdom #Gratitude #Peace #Resilience #BePrepared 💚 🙏 🔥

Each year begins with Ian Bremmer and the Eurasia Group listing and describing the top ten risks of the year. It is a lot to read, you could disagree with some of it, but after reading it you will be well-informed:

We're going out today. As the weather in Denmark is cold, windy and potentially snowy I'm bringing some simple "emergency" comfort items like water and banana.
Toddler caught on and is making their own. There's a toy duck, puzzle, fake coffee can etc. #BePrepared :-)

First possibility of a real winter storm tonight still only looks like it'll give us a little bit of snow.
That being said, today and tomorrow involve a LOT of back and forth driving on back roads out here, & also through Philly into NJ.
Definitely a smart idea to take a few minutes to check the truck.

As an Eagle Scout who attended a National Jamboree, visited Philmont multiple times, & enjoyed summer camp over many years, I have always been concerned about the military's undue influence on Scouting. This is (ironically to Pete Hegseth) the best news I have heard in awhile!

It has been raining here for days now. I'm at the point where I am deciding if I really have to go out, or take one road or another because of the risk of mud and rock slides, standing water hydroplaning risk, etc. This is one good reason why I always have supplies on hand, never run out of essentials, and make sure I'm prepared for weather events. The mountain passes have snow and many accidents every day, and going almost anywhere outside of my immediate area involves travelling over a mountain pass. The worst situation is a sudden drop in temperature on a wet road which turns to black ice, a common occurrence around here. Keep apprised of the weather trend, but also the radar maps, the direction of storm winds etc. because sometimes the weather models are wrong or slow to update.
Be ready to adjust your plans and plan ahead. I'd rather err on the side of caution than end up in the ditch at dusk on a country road. -
Dug out fresh batteries in the dark, gave the kitty ear-goop meds by flashlight, now out running the car to charge my phone. How’s your night going?

My take-home message from this is to be aware of earthquake and tsunami risk where you live, the potential damage they could cause and how to mitigate it,, and how long you should be prepared to be self-sufficient after a quake.
Be aware, be prepared!
In NZ, there is a website to assess potential inundation from tsunamis:

#Sydney & parts of the #NewSouthWales coast should brace themselves for a fast-developing #weather system expected to bring #damagingwinds, #heavyrainfall & #flooding early next week, the Bureau of Meteorology has said.
The system that is expected to develop on Sunday has the potential to be classified in the coming days as an east coast low – a weather system known for its damaging potential.

Dear Brisbanites and S.E. Queenslanders. You are not allowed to complain about panic buyers if you…
• Shopped a day or two earlier because you heard about shortages,
• Grabbed one or two extra “just in case”,
• Switched brands when you’d normally have gone without,
• Acted differently to how you would in your normal every day shopping.…if you did, guess what? You’re “panic buying” too. You’re just salty because you missed out.
Blame yourself (or maybe the retailers). Calling everyone else an idiot when you acted too late, nope - that’s on you.
And, let’s be honest, you’re not going to starve. You’ll be uncomfortable for a few days.
Acting surprised and exasperated when you arrived but the shelves were empty. Realise, thousands of other more prepared people simply shifted their shopping by a few days, or bought an extra loaf of bread - this hardly constitutes panic.
But, you say “when I arrived the shelves were bare and people had 6kg of ham in their trolly - who can eat 6kg of ham?”. Fair, but consider a) you don’t know their circumstance, maybe they like ham, and b) It’s not their fault if it’s not your fault - they weren’t acting in time either. Their hand was forced, they had to act - rationally - given the circumstance. Grab yourself 6kg of olives and enjoy.
The only thing that could have changed your outcome is you acting sooner, or having suppliers/shops be more responsive and proactive. Expecting the behaviour of others to change to suit you is just nonsense.
We all know how this works. Remember the last toilet paper crisis? If you’re caught short again, maybe it’s not everyone else who’s the idiot! Cyclone Alfred affecting Brisbane/SEQ was looking possible since the weekend, so you can’t claim ignorance.
I know why you’re angry, you missed out. I understand and it sucks. But stop squarking about it. Try again tomorrow.
(Caveats: Not talking about hoarding beyond personal use, or profiteering. Also, I feel genuinely for those who couldn’t act earlier due to financial or other circumstances - if you’re in north-western Brisbane and this is you, message me directly I don’t know what I can do, but if I can I’ll help).

#Crimethinc: A #Demonstrator’s Guide to Understanding #RiotMunitions
And How to Defend against Them
2021-01-04Police fire a wide range of blunt force projectiles from a variety of weapons. Manufacturers and police departments sometimes call these 'Blunt Impact Projectiles' (#BIPs) or 'Kinetic Impact Projectiles' (#KIPs). #RubberBullets are only one of many variants. They vary in size, force, composition, delivery methods, and lethality.
"The sales pitches that manufacturers make to law enforcement agencies emphasize the ability to obtain compliance from subjects via projected force with minimal risk of injury or death. All of the academic studies—not to mention our lived experience—show that neither of these claims is correct: impact munitions regularly #maim and kill #protestors and they rarely succeed at breaking up demonstrations. They’re even less effective at stopping social movements. Often, when one of us loses an eye or suffers a fractured skull, more people come out to the streets.
"Some of the more common impact munitions include baton rounds, large plastic, foam, gel, or even wooden #projectiles that are fired from a multi-launcher or occasionally a shotgun; rubber bullets, #MetalProjectiles coated in rubber or PVC; #BeanBagRounds, woven bags filled with either silica or lead, usually fired from shotguns; #Pepperballs, which are essentially paintballs filled with pepper spray; #FN303 rounds, a combination of pepper-balls and regular impact munitions; rubber balls, which are rubber or plastic or foam pellets packed into grenades to explode like shrapnel or shotgun shot; and, of course, the venerable #GasCanister (bearing chemical agents or smoke), which is not designed to be fired directly at protestors—but regularly is.
"Contrary to popular supposition, most modern impact munitions are designed for 'direct fire' rather than 'skip fire.' Direct fire munitions are for shooting directly at individuals, while skip fire projectiles are designed to be skipped off the ground into the crowd. Tear gas canisters are generally intended for skip firing at close range or firing at a 25-30 degree arc into the air for maximum range; they are not rated for direct fire. Some styles of baton rounds that split into multiple projectiles are designed for skip fire to distribute the projectiles more widely, while others are designed to be fired over the heads of protesters in order to rain chemicals down. Full-size wooden baton rounds and some rubber bullets seem to be designed for skip fire as well, but in general, skip fire is less accurate and less common.
"Baton rounds, stinger grenades, and beanbags hurt. They injure people. Occasionally, they maim or—even more rarely—kill people. Yet of all the tools used by the police, they are some of the least effective at stopping demonstrations. Unlike a cop within mêlée range, a baton round cannot arrest you. Unlike a cloud of gas, it can’t force you to disperse. Ranged impact weapons rely primarily on pain compliance. While this may work on individuals, pain alone usually cannot force a resolute crowd to comply. Standing around getting shot at isn’t always the right move. But the effects of impact munitions can be mitigated by protective equipment including shields, armor, helmets, goggles, barricades, and even umbrellas. Impact weapons rely on fear above all—and through mental preparation and mutual support, we can defend ourselves from fear. We can choose not to comply with fear."
