Retro PC YouTuber LGR was relieved to find much of his collection intact, but told me that "more than ever that there's a need to redistribute a lotta this stuff" to ensure its preservation.
I watched his video doing a walkthrough of the damage yesterday. It’s really sad. Not just his collection of all this stuff that he is so passionate about, but his whole house. So much damage caused by nature. I hope he’s able to get things back to semi-normal soon.
So far, things seem to be prety decent where I’m at in Utah, but we do have the looming risk of “the big one” Earthquake. But to be fair, that has a pretty high chance of causing Yellowstone to erupt, which would probably kill everyone on the planet, so I guess I prefer a quicker death to starvation.
But yeah, Ashville is way in there, no wonder he was surprised.
I have no clue how he’s this quickly been able to have such a positive attitude and sense of humor about it. I’d be despondent in his shoes.
I suppose I shouldn’t be too surprised; Clint always brings such enthusiasm and positivity to his videos. He’s a go-to when I’m sick. He’s like chicken noodle soup in video form.
Yeah, that’s absolutely what I am saying. Its nowhere even near the coast where a hurricane is ever a serious concern besides some gusts and a few inches of rain from one and even then, you’re thinking of that much closer to the coast.
Your problem are not falling trees, but flimsy houses! A concrete or steel structure would have cut that tree in half. The roof tile would have been damaged but that’s cheaper to fix.

Oh, that’s heartbreaking.

Yeah, and we probably should discourage storing them in areas prone to hurricanes.

He lives in western North Carolina, definitely not an area prone to hurricanes.
My bad, I’m not familiar with NC, so I guess I assumed Ashville was near the coast.

I believe he had a new in box Apple Newton that sustained a bunch of water damage. Not sure how rare those are.

Probably being wealthy helps
That hurts in the same way as the time I saw someone on reddit say that an early 3d printer fire burnt their house down… and their cat.
WTF. That took a turn. Poor moggy. I wonder now what he was printing.
Can we talk about how he is directing people to not donate to him, but instead donate to help others in his area. Absolute Chad.
He’s a thought: move away from hurricane territory. Seriously, wtf is wrong with people. You live in a disaster-prone region.
Here’s a thought: You’re not very nice
Never said I was.
Being nice would have prevented the hurricane(s). surely.
Actually it would since if you’re nice you aren’t going to fuck up the planet so much that it isn’t livable anymore.
So you’re saying Asheville, NC is hurricane territory?
You’re saying it’s not?
Yeah, that’s absolutely what I am saying. Its nowhere even near the coast where a hurricane is ever a serious concern besides some gusts and a few inches of rain from one and even then, you’re thinking of that much closer to the coast.
According to this guy, everything that isn’t Lebanon, Kansas is hurricane territory
The people affected by Helene aren’t in hurricane territory
my wife won’t live in a house with any trees within striking distance. i can see why
Your problem are not falling trees, but flimsy houses! A concrete or steel structure would have cut that tree in half. The roof tile would have been damaged but that’s cheaper to fix.
can’t say i would argue! but when all the houses are that way, i can’t really buy a concrete/steel construction house in any normal price range
