Having a rough day today.

We had a freak snowstorm yesterday and overnight. I live in Northern California in an area I have lived in for over 30 years. Usually years go by with no snow at all, maybe a little dusting every few years or so.

I live in a Senior Mobile Home park. We had over a foot of snow fall in about 18 hours. I know that doesn't sound like much to people in some areas, but it was a minor disaster her. About half of the carports, including mine, collapsed under the weight of the snow. Many of these aluminum awnings have been here for 50+ years. Most people took the precaution of getting their cars out from under them, but some didn't. About a half dozen cars are probably totaled.

We do have insurance but can't get through to them on the phone. We have been without electricity since 8:00 last night and the power company says to be ready for it to be out for an extended period of time. I do have a generator, and those of us that do are sharing as many watts as we can spare.

No one was hurt and all the mobile homes themselves are intact. Everyone is helping each other out. As one would expect in a senior park, there are many who need help, but we are all pulling together. My house is keeping the coffee flowing and the phones charged for those that need it. This is worse than any earthquake I've been in, and I've been in some big ones. We are okay for now, but I hope the power at least comes back on soon.

The worst part is we were days from putting our place on the market for a planned move to be closer to family. Now we have thousands of dollars of damage. Hopefully we can collect some insurance money then just sell the place as is at a reduced price and move on.


Ok, a couple of things to note here because I can't stay but a minute, but I don't see anyone screaming about the state of CA not being able to keep these people's power on, and I've seen stories about LA being out of power for 10's of thousands of folks and they didn't know when they would be able to get them back online.  After what these people said about Texas a couple of winters ago I would think this would be a hot topic as to WHY CA can't keep the power on to these vulnerable people.

Secondly, this guy says he has a generator and he's sparing "what watts he can ..." Uh, if you have a 15kw generator, shouldn't you be giving your neighbor 7.5kw of that?  And if you have a neighbor on each side you should give each one 5kw.  Right?  I mean if you can't run all of your stuff that's ok, because they can't either and you are obviously blessed to have such resources to share!

Just my thoughts.

The family, normally quiet and listless, is going around praising the Good Lord, ever thankful for this storm and praying for another!   :rotf:

Typical collectivist voter.

'Share and share alike' is for when others have the resources and they themselves do not.

When they have the resources, 'well...that's different, because...reasons...'.

Just like Bernie "Mr. Socialist" Sanders who owns at least 3 houses but never opens them up to poor, unfortunate, homeless people who desperately need a roof over their heads.

It's for "everyone else" to share..

Mr.Bill ethics: What electrical power you have is ours and what electrical power I have is mine.

But none of this ever happened.

Easy fix... declare yourself "black" and settle for only one million of the five million coming their way.  It's the woke thing to do.

You know, I thought the same thing when I first read that and was going to make a comment, then I remembered what the DUmmies cars actually looked like.

With all the extremes in California over the last few years it seems like God is really trying to get their attention before He just let's the "big one" loose.
