Riff, I saw the thread about the def con level being raised to 3....was wondering about this....anything you can share? Please and thank you....
 Quoting: Bastetcat



We're holding at DEFCON 5 for now until the "referendums" are finished, and then we'll reevaluate.

It's not time to panic just yet. We till have time to back way from the brink.

Pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine's Lugansk claim victory in annexation vote: AFP

 Quoting: Guythu


Results Show Huge Majorities In Favor Of Joining Russia As Ukraine Annexation Polls Close: State Media


Russia's state RT has announced partial results late in the evening (local time) showing a huge majority in both the breakaway Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics (DPR and LPR) supporting uniting with the Russian Federation. "In DPR, more than 98% of voters supported the idea to join Russia, according to early official figures. The referendum in LPR yielded a similar result, with more than 97% of voters supporting the potential reunification. In Lugansk, all the ballots have been already counted, according to local authorities, while Donetsk, so far, has processed just over a half of votes."

We had at least one tornado pass within 5 miles of our house...
a bunch of warnings between 9 and 10 PM and the power flickered but it's still on...got all my flashlights ready...I'm concerned we will get a second wave overnight...Delray Beach (south of me) took a signifcant hit at King's Point--a condo/apt community--35 people moved to shelters and Idk how many injured...but it was bad...thank you for kind thoughts, TB...I think if we can get through the tornado wave we should be fine as we are out of the cone...

Riff, I was referring to the website that I thought said level 3--there was a link in the thread to it...maybe it's another website and not the one you are affiliated with...this Nords thing has me really concerned....

Everyone is broke.
Economies are breaking.

JUST IN: Slovakia's PM Eduard Heger said that soaring electricity costs had left the country's economy at risk of "collapse"; the country needs billions of euros from Brussels in support to revive its economy.

Czech Republic and Slovakia gas is from Russia.
I’d hazard a guess Czech’s are next to have the same issues.

Heger also warned he would be forced to nationalize the country's power supplies if this was not forthcoming, the report added.

I agree. It’s worth more sabotaged, and used as a political tool, than a functional pipeline you aren’t going to use anyways!

And as Catfish pointed out in another thread...it could always be reasonably fixed, if the situation warranted, the cost is not prohibitive.
Always remember these words: Work hard, study well, and eat and sleep plenty! That is the Turtle Hermit way! We must master the art of peace in addition to the art of war!

I've got one of my radars locked in on Ian and have been watching it approach Florida. Current models all have it making landfall just south of Tampa in about 12 hours. Wish I was down there.

As for the other DEFCON site, we do have a few competitors who are overreactive and more concerned with clickbait money than they are factual analysis. They've pretty much been at DEFCON 3 since Russia invaded. The higher alert levels aren't designed to be in place for that length of time. It causes alert fatigue and loses its meaning. We're going to reevaluate if/when Russia "annexes" SE Ukraine regions after their bogus referendum.

Stay safe.

Rode out a Cat 1 once, alone. Mr. LJS had to fly one of the jets out of harm's way.

Let's just say even a cat 1 deserves respect. We lived on a small bay and the the water was lapping at the base of our deck. I was hunkered down on the second floor with the cat (not hurricane version). Thankfully, that was as close as the surge got to us, no flooding.

She's far enough inland that she should be fine. Best I've been through is a CAT 3, but yes, even a CAT 1 can be fatal. Florence was a CAT 1 I was in SC for and it stalled, flooding everything. Only time I've ever had to conduct a water rescue.

I actually had clearance to go down and stage for Katrina, but I couldn't fit it into my work schedule. That would have been an amazing thing to have been a part of. Don't know if I'll be able to get one worked in this year or not.

Texting back n forth with her. She is on 8th floor of one of the Disney resorts. Told her the biggest worry is flooding, and maybe a tornado there. Of course, she is extra worried because her little girl is with her, and this is not weather Canadians are accustomed to.
