Milton is off Florida’s eastern shore now heading out to sea. We’re fine here in Palm Beach County. No power loss.
@Bill Jempty: Good to hear.
I noticed Monala referenced Threads yesterday, which made me realize just how rare that is compared to links to Twitter. Considering everything bad I hear about Musk’s platform, it seems that the heat death of Twitter is a long way off. Anyone think I’m simply missing the trend? I should point out that I haven’t used Twitter or anything else like it since the very early days, so I don’t have a metric of my own to measure by.
@Bill Jempty: South Sarasota county power is out. Headlines are saying me and 3 million other people. WAPO says the storm has left the state, headed into the Atlantic still a hurricane. Generator’s running, A/C’s on. No wifi but 2 bars on the phone. Haven’t found much news from Sarasota yet.
@gVOR10: Good luck
