Strongest storm to hit the LA/TX border area in over a century. Cameron/Lake Charles Area obliterated.

Taking a Media coverage backseat to BLM, tho....

    Area is mostly white, no narrative to push giving it coverage.

    Is it, though?

    Not surprising

    Threaded the needle between Houston and New Orleans hitting a mostly poor, rural, low density area with basically zero media market.


    The live streams from the storm chasers as the eye hit were fucking wild though;

    amazing technology + Crazy people = entertaining

    600k evacuated. 16 dead. 400k without power. 200k without water.

    It’s August. I hope Trump and FEMA we’re ready for this.

    It really is awful. If you like beer there is no greater time to be alive than right now. Can't believe I used to drink that crap.

    Yeah, that's a regular in the rotation although I like the Grapefruit IPA more than the regular. Big fan of Green Flash West Coast IPA, liked it more when it was an 8.1% but the 7.1% is still good. Pizza Port, Barrel House, Dust Bowl, go into any town in Northern San Diego county and you'll find at least two or three great breweries and some of the best fish tacos I've ever had in my life.
