HOOOOOOOLY COW!!!!! That storm was unreal nasty. If those were 80 mile an hour winds, I am sure glad I wasn't here to witness Rita. I am in Orange and we have no power. I'm on my battery on laptop and sitting in my car listening to the radio. They are saying 100,000 people without power. Do not know when we may get power back. Hope it will be soon.

For the guy who asked, Orange was hit pretty hard. Lot's of debris, fallen trees, limbs etc. My yard is littered with it. I heard about the death in BC. A guy was under his carport watching the storm and it collapsed on him. This storm came in the same way Rita did. The wind was blowing the same direction.

I hope everything is ok in the Triangle and that everyone is safe...

Looks like yall have a lot more to worry about than football tomorrow night.

Liberty county is unscathed....

They sure did cancel school early yesterday here in Dayton...

The sun is coming out, and the kids are getting a beautiful day off.

Good luck in getting the power back over there.

Hopefully the electrical crews can get yall up and running soon.

God Bless

Man, that hurricane came upon you guys so fast.  I hope everybody weathered it okay.  Only bright spot is that it moved through quick as opposed to stalling over the area.  Will say a prayer for the Golden Triangle area.  Hope everything gets back to normal as quickly as possible.

    • I don’t benefit from it, that’s not my area.  But the average cost to imprison someone is around $15k per year (on average in the US) and capital cases cost somewhere between $1.5-$3M with over half being overturned or reduced to life in prison anyway.  These numbers may be inflated since the last report I read but I’m sure it would be on both sides and higher on the DP side if anything. So what’s the point?  We feel better because we got to return the favor on someone (hopefully) who committed a heinous crime?  And I don’t know I can say we have “complicated” it. Which appeal should we cut out?  Our justice system has a pecking order and we have higher courts for a reason. When we are about to impose the ultimate judgment, should we cut steps that other cases have to save a buck?  Or do we not pay for an indigent person’s experts at the trial court level because it’s too expensive? Or do we just lock them up and throw away the key (unless we later find out they weren’t actually guilty, in which case we have a key and a life we haven’t unjustly ended) and save a ton of money?  Seems to me to be an easy and obvious solution but I’m more of a pragmatist.
    • 1 thing for certain. Coach Earned 3 more years to figure it out lol
    • @CIS_org National Security Senior Fellow @BensmanTodd tells Steve Bannon how the U.S. State Department and USAID have been sending American taxpayer funds to religious nonprofits to facilitate mass immigration to our southern border. Bensman says 248 nonprofits are participating in the United Nations’ 2024 agenda to distribute $1.6 billion in cash, transportation, food, and shelter to U.S.-bound immigrants across Mexico and Latin America.
    • 👍 Oh. I was thinking most thought Wrong Place Wrong Time. Lol.
