North Carolina GOP town hall gets rowdy as attendees hurl scathing questions on Trump
  • I didn't think so. What a dick

    'Edwards kept good humor throughout the raucous town hall, telling attendees at the end that he enjoyed hearing the crowd’s “passion” and “patriotism.” In a news conference afterward, Edwards said Trump and Musk were “over the target” in what they set out to accomplish.'

    Edited, grabbed the wrong quote

  • A volcano near Alaska's largest city could erupt in the coming weeks or months, scientists say
  • I live here.

    There is no real good place to evacuate to. All of the large population centers will likely be impacted, and most of those places aren't "large" at all. Literally nowhere to go, if we wanted to, except to the lower 48, or Canada.

    The distance Alaskan cities are from anywhere else makes evacuation logistically ... Challenging.

    The volcano could blow tomorrow, or in 6 months. You cannot realistically evacuate and abandon your entire life for a totally indeterminate amount of time.

    We had a similar eruption in 1992. It was fine. Airport was down for a day.

    The only real danger is volcanic ash. The volcano is 70ish miles off the coast.

    Everyone here is aware. We will all just hunker down. 3-7 days of food in the house, and water. Extra pet food. Schools and businesses will probably shut down for a few days in some towns. No driving, so the ash doesn't get kicked back up. Tape all of our windows to keep ash out, get dog booties, cotton to stuff their ears if you have pets that have to go outside. Swim goggles for pets and people. Respirators or masks do you don't breath it in. Might have to go a few days without electronics.

    All in all, everyone I know is just annoyed this will happen in the summer, and we'll be stuck inside. Summer is precious here, losing any of the days suck.

    The far, far greater danger is the wildfire season, it's been a very dry winter here. We always have lots of fires in the state, but this year will likely be worse, and with all the "winning" in the government right now, it is unclear what the firefighting response/capabilities will be. THAT could get plenty of people killed, and absolutely devastate out cities and individuals economic stability, which, frankly, is already not stable.

  • State Specific 50501 Communities

    Hello everyone!

    Brand new to Lemmy. I saw a post a few days ago talking state specific sub groups here. Tragically, I have lost the link explaining how to find them/how it works.

    Can anyone help me out? Alaskans are showing up, and I'd like to make sure that the state specific stuff is put out there someplace other than Reddit.
