  • Bad weather coming to N.C

    From morningstarr@VERT/DIGDIST to All on Thu Jan 22 12:40:46 2026
    I hope the storm that is coming this weekend, isn't bad. Last time we got a storm like this, we were without power for a month...
    How bad do you guys think it will be? I'm debating on renting a generator or getting a hotel. I am not happy!!! :(

    I hope you're getting good enough information to be able to stay safe! I have no idea how bad things are supposed to be out that way - here's hoping for a big nothingburger.

    No, we have an adequate infrastructure which is funded by out taxes.
    as should you. you should contact your congressman and local govt.

    you shouldn't live like you are in a 3rd world country.

    Last time we had an extended power outage, my BBS was running bare-metal
    on a laptop. I was able to take it to Starbucks and transfer mail - I'd download everything then crash my downlinks.
