Good morning, Molly. Almost the weekend!

Morning, Dan. I haven't got to the bottom E yet...
7:19 am
BzznBea
Now I have. =)
7:20 am
MollyL
I've been reading about how Fall TV shows (if they ever start filming) are going to incorporate COVID into their story lines. Great. What I watch to escape is going to feature what I'm trying to escape from.
7:21 am
BzznBea
I'm hoping to watch tv after November.
7:22 am
MollyL
I hope all our players in the Gulf Coast area are safe. Sounds like that hurricane is high force.

My daughter's school district has had teachers doing professional evelopment for the last 2-3 weeks. Yesterday, all their second grade teachers had to be quarentined as they all were together and one tested positive.
7:23 am
BzznBea
I need to go look...
7:23 am
BzznBea
Dan, needlecase alert...
7:24 am
MollyL
Yeah, I have a feeling that all the schools trying to have "regular" school are going to have episodes of the same thing.
7:25 am
MollyL
My county is still doing "virtual learning" through the first semester. I can't even imagine what "virtual kindergarten" is like.
7:28 am
dan2bit
thanks Bea! no volcano today though :-)
7:32 am
mamabook3
Our school district is going to attempt in person - but the honest hope is just that we can get 2-3 weeks in before we go back to virtual. This will allow teachers a chance to connect with the students and also to show them how virtual instruction will actually work. I think we all realize it will be virtual sooner or later
7:34 am
MollyL
That is too bad. I think everyone is tired of "virtual" living. Especially the kids.
7:34 am
BzznBea
I think a lot of school districts are thinking the same thing.
7:36 am
M3
I wonder what the big push is for remote learning?
7:38 am
MollyL
I'm not sure I understand that question. Remote learning is going on due to COVID.
7:44 am
M3
yeah i get that, schools are planning this for the long term future etc, i dont think its good for children to be less social, tactile etc. its not healthy
7:46 am
BzznBea
I agree, M3. But it is also not healthy for them to get COVID. Hopefully, the spread will lessen, a vaccine will prove effective and life can get on.

Molly, both storms skated by us with no adverse outcomes but Louisiana got slammed. I think this was their worst hurricane, ever (definitely near the top of the list, anyway). I looked at it yesterday and it was just growing (like Katrina did). I'm sure much damage but have not heard of any fatalities, I think a lot of folks evacuated. I'm sure Texas took their share but the NE side of the storm is where all of the power is at, NW usually winds and rain. I'm sure we'll be hearing about damage once the dang thing subsides (think still Cat 2 going thru LA? unless my info is outdated).
8:16 am
BzznBea
Thanks for the update amelu.
8:28 am
amelu0218
Also, our kids went back to school Aug 6th, masks and distancing required all day. They do a temp check upon school entry and get sent home if running fever. Naturally, there will be a case here or there but so far, so good. We also have the shipyard here (which employs 20K folks from LA to FL and a couple of counties north of the coast, not to mention the contractors that come in from other states) and trust me when I tell you, those folks working in 110+ heat are not going to wear a mask all day. They also get heat scanned when they walk through the gate/into the offices and denied access if running temp.
8:28 am
amelu0218
yw, Bea.

Oh, I forgot to mention, "essential employees"

Molly, Katrina's eye hit Hancock County, MS, at category 5 contrary to popular belief. LA was on the NW side of her. NOLA's ill maintained levees broke, which is what caused the flooding there (the city is below sea level, after all). Google MS gulf coast after Katrina images if you want a visual. NOLA got all of the attention because they were the ones crying about it, MS folks pulled up the bootstraps and started clearing roads, helping friends, neighborhood feeds (everyone who wasn't flooded lost power so freezers needed to be emptied), doing everything we could to help others. I have quite a few friends who basically had to rebuild their homes because of flooding due to storm surge (which, by the way, insurance fought saying they didn't have wind/flood insurance (because it wasn't a requirement for the sea level they are at) and wouldn't rule it as storm surge). My heart goes out to the LA/TX folks over Laura, we still have areas along the coast that haven't recovered, I know they're going to still be feeling the aftereffects 15+ year from now. (Katrina's 15 year anniversary is Saturday) Oh, and no connection with anyone locally, problems with cell towers, but we could text people in other states, lol. Good times.
10:18 am
amelu0218
If you look and see the misc orange 'graffiti', that's how 1st responders/national guard identified that structure/vehicle had been searched already (for bodies or survivors, including pets).

good morning everyone - sorry to hear about the hurricanes -- I guess I will have to turn the news on -- have had 3 lovely days with no Trump and no Covid
10:23 am
Aussieme
*falls in* Hi, All. Please stay safe those in the paths of the Hurricanes
10:24 am
MollyL
Live in the serene lane Nan, leave the news off
10:26 am
rururocks
i read that this was a pretty big hurricane and the closest thing in size to it dates back to the 1800's
10:27 am
MollyL
Speaking of news, Amelu's reports about Katrina show just how skewed the news is. I never heard a thing about Mississippi, only Louisana.
10:27 am
cybernan
I don't think I realized how stressed out I was about everything until I turned it off, Molly
10:28 am
rururocks
parts of texas got hit hard too No?
10:28 am
MollyL
It really is stress producing Nan. And most of what you hear about on the news, well, there is little you can do to change it.
10:28 am
cybernan
exactly!
10:30 am
MollyL
I know this current hurricane has hit Texas. Not sure about Katrina.
10:31 am
rururocks
Yes.. i guess New Orleans did grab all the headlines...but it was sure a mess there too. I believe amelu about the levees
10:38 am
MollyL
Certain things were not built with a lot of forethought as to storm damage. Look at New York City. Who thought putting all that concrete and rebar on a little island like space was a good idea?
10:58 am
amelu0218
Bad thing about the levees was that there had been a ton of research because of their age on what would happen with a large storm (I want to say some were written in the '70s but I can't find them, now, imagine that) and recommendations to the Corp of Engineers that they needed to update the existing ones... No one listened.
10:59 am
amelu0218
But, here, pretty much everything from Hwy 90 south was wiped out and in Harrison/Hancock counties it went to I-10. Looked like we'd been nuked.
11:06 am
hurshy
i was just reading how the federal government is now looking at relocating some communities instead of trying to protect them from flooding, an idea once considered too radical.

Well, I do have to add to that on behalf of LA, they did get hit by hurricane Rita (which tracked in around the same area as Laura) weeks after Katrina.

2:47 pm
Gillie
I'm not sure what the ra** of knots is, but there's an ra4 that's all vowels after the "r" - it's an alternate spelling of a word meaning "a Christian subject of an Ottoman ruler".
2:48 pm
Aussieme

I'm haphazard. I look at the whole grid and start typing what I think is possible given the letters... I don't focus on specific tiles until I'm closer to being done, lol. No methodology here.
4:30 pm
hokie carla
I used to do that but then started being more methodical, tile by tile, starting top row, left to right. but I do still jump around occasionally.
