 A few thoughts:

I am proud of Florida.  It’s good to see everybody working together.

The energy density of fossil fuels is truly unbelievable.

Left untouched, nature is chaos and it takes an enormous amount of work to create order.

Everybody should turn their air conditioners on to prevent global warming.

Power is out.  I bet most people close their channels with my node.  I hope not.  It has been a passion project for quite some time.

With modern tech, we have forgotten “it takes a village.”

We are so “connected,” but disconnected from our family and neighbors.

You cannot power a chainsaw with nuclear.

Gas is key.

Cannot imagine a category 5.

We have been fortunate.

I was born and raised in Florida.  I love it here, but hurricane season is getting to be too much as I get older.

I’m worried about Atlas Urology and our patients.

Generator is powering a window unit, it’s cool in the bedroom.

Grandfather got power back after 2 weeks.

Manual labor is important.  I have outsourced too much.

Propane should be in your bunker.

We are all Satoshi. 
 I'm proud of Florida also. 
 Keep hodling. Atas will be fine. Stay strong.  
 Best of luck to you all. 
 And we can't zap you because you're lightning node is down. 

I'm glad you're finding the lessons in a shitty situation. I should probably fill up a few jerry cans ahead of our storm season. Hydrocarbons are very useful.

 I'll open a channel when you're back up... Send your pub if you like. I'll watch for it.
