The US National Weather Service's Flood Safety Tips and Resources

(Note that even though the sources above are US-based, the tips here are applicable outside of the US as well.)

Remember, floods are becoming more common even in places that didn’t used to get them a lot, so this is something to keep in mind and signal boost for your mutual who will be hit by a flash flood sooner rather than later.

Also, it can help you write more accurate fic. That too.

hello! i really hate doing this, but my state has been going through the worst flood we've had in over 80 years, and i just spoke to my dad on the phone and he told me there's a high chance the water might've reached the ceiling in our house — and if it didn't, it still reached pretty high anyway, as we've been informed —, which means there's a very high chance we lost everything (or almost everything) we own, except for the things we could pack up and carry with us when we evacuated. the area where we live is completely flooded and the roads are closed, and although i managed to make it back to my hometown before things got too bad and am staying at my mom's house where it's safe for now, i'm still dreading the moment i have to go back, and i don't know what we're gonna do and how we're gonna start rebuilding our lives.

so if you're able to donate anything at all (literally anything helps), here's the link to my ko-fi (e se vc for brasileire e quiser doar pelo pix, pode me mandar mensagem que eu mando a chave em pvt)

if you can't help financially, reblogging this post is also really helpful!

thank you and stay safe 💜

#there's also a chance the water might rise in my hometown too lol 💀 so i'm just praying it won't reach my mom's place at least #i feel bad doing this but idk what else to do??? #i'm also gonna have to buy a bunch of food to make sure we won't run out bc we don't know when things will be restocked #considering most roads are either blocked for safety reasons or totally flooded #anyway... yeah #this is kinda embarrassing but i'm also desperate so i'm rlly sorry !!

No lyrics, this is just a piano interpretation/cover Ves did. But I have something special for you below the cut 🖤

Edited out the commenters' last names for privacy, but could you fucking imagine??? Commenting on a video and Ves responding??? I guess I'm fangirling and these people had no idea, but still. Very jealous lmao 😅

#lost media #circa 2012 #the safety fire #the safety fire floods of colour #floods of colour #song floods of colour #piano interpretation #there is like 40 seconds of silence at the end #i left it in for the full experience #not because i'm lazy and don't want to edit the mp3 😅 #also i wish ves would have done a piano cover of born of osiris #literally would have fucking died if i heard that though #“FUCK!!! BoO COVER BEFORE BREAKFAST!!!” is my new motto #as far as covers go i'm not sure if he covered scarlet #but there are quite a few periphery covers that i do have #also i guess the album art for tsf is lungfish? #otherwise ves's lungfish comment is so way out of left field that i can't even 😂😂 #man loves himself some aquatic animals #and as far as i know he never used soundcloud #ves used the “whatever” option instead for uploading his music #so don't bug the guy on soundcloud with ves's name lol its not him

Coach, if you’re willing to give advice i’ve got a question. I’ve been interested in gunplay but never really considered it irl from safety concerns. Have you ever had to deal with a similar situation? If not, what are just some general precautions for it

honestlyyyy my real advice would be to get a realistic looking fake.

i have an airsoft pistol that has never been loaded because i bought it to be a prop in a film project. it looks fairly legit, besides the orange tip. made of metal and everything, just more lightweight.

the first two rules of gun safety are to treat all guns as if they are loaded, and never aim the gun at something you're not prepared to destroy. if i used a real gun, even if i checked and double checked that it was empty, i would not be able to shake those rules out of my head.

plus, airsoft is cheaper and easier to acquire. roleplay is all make believe anyway, so using a fake gun shouldn't change much.

but i would still recommend never loading it, if you buy one for this purpose. getting a pellet shot into your throat (or whatever) is still not gonna be good.

like look, i googled "realistic airsoft pistol" and look at this

this is fine lmao

#hopefully this isn't over-preachy #i have strong feelings about gun safety lol #also i like that you picked coach as my title lol #ALSO sorry this is so late i haven't been on my computer and my activity is flooded with that one post #so i didn't see it #mine #gunplay #psa

budapest is flooding ☹️☹️☹️ please save my girl please please please please please

#oh my GODDD i didnt even realise til we came up from the underpass and i realised the #water was abt to kiss the pillars of parliament it's CRAZYYYY #hasn't flooded this bad in like a decade it looks so scary #and if it's this bad here where we have like a million safety measures i can't even imagine how #bad it is in places with less or no dams omfggg i hope everyone's okay #barking

Matt singing: lost in the sauce

i.e. Matt gig photodump!

#Matt Bellamy #muse band #muse live #WOTP tour #2023 #muse montreal #gig pics #my pics #Matt singing #matt bellamy #muse #Well. Now that we’re in the safety of the tags I must admit I’ve fucked up this post slightly. #Everything’s gone out of order it’s a mess #I’ll just make a new post with fewer pictures later and hopefully that’ll sort it out… #And will also make it easier to actually enjoy the pictures these are too many #But that’s exactly why this is a Matt photodump #If being flooded at once with 30 pictures of Matt Bellamy from the band Muse singing makes you happy this post is for you #If not I’ll tag this long post and I’ll make a shorter highlights post that’s easier to focus on #Long post #Best believe I have more though 👀

But it was still only a foot or two deep, and though it swished terribly round the horses' legs, they reached the far side in safety.

Vague work email: Don't come into the building until we send an additional notification

Me: 🤔 Is this flooding or a bomb threat?

#Given my work place's history it is truly a toss up which it is #I mean flooding is more likely given the weather and our shitty roof leaking repeatedly over the years and our current roof construction #But also we've had two safety threats in the last 5 years that evacuated the building so like 🤷🏻‍♀️ Who knows! #Thankfully I'm working from home so it's not my problem 😊

I'm so excited I get to talk about the boston molasses flood of 1919 for my public speaking class and I get to bring in a visual aid and I have molasses in my fridge as we speak to demonstrate why it was so impossible to easily save people from 2-3 feet of this stuff in mid January this is a subject I am literally so passionate about

#THE BOSTON MOLASSES FLOOD IS NOT A SILLY HAHA TO ME IT IS A REMINDER THAT CORPORATIONS WILL ALWAYS #PRIORITIZE PROFIT OVER PUBLIC SAFETY AND WILL DEFEND THEMSELVES TO THE END AND TRY TO BLAME OTHER PEOPLE FOR THEIR FAILURES #chittering

When I tell these stories about my mom I should probably include the context that this was all evidence-based; she worked in public health in the 80s.

#she also emailed the CDC in 2007 to ask about the safety of the soccer fields that had recently flooded #they were like talk to you local health department #she was like I can't they floated away #I think she finally got an answer from the state idr

Who was gonna tell me the Challenger II’s field armor package makes that thing nearly 80 tons? 80 tons??? Britain what are you doing 😭 the Challenger II is already the heaviest & most underpowered NATO tank without all that. 1,200 horsepower for 80 TONS?? That’s 15 hp/ton. I mean that’s not…that’s not pitiful, but your contemporaries are pushing 23.2/t (M1A2) and 24-26.9/t (Leopard 2A5). Please babe, I’m begging. Be better. Even the Z-mobiles are beating you brother: 23/t (T-72B +), ~24.7/t (T-80U/BV), 21.3/t (T-90M). This is ignoring other ground vehicle types such as IFVs, surface-to-air missile defense, etc. that we have also seen fielded.

(((One should strive for a power/weight ratio of 18-20 hp per ton. Ideal is 20+. Most NATO tanks come in at 60+ tons with engines running 1,500 horsepower to the sprockets. This is a good place to be for mobility’s sake; get to positions faster, leave positions faster, being mobile when in potentially target-rich environments. Cold War Soviet & modern Russian Federation tanks tend to be a lot smaller than NATO counterparts (often in the 45-60 ton range) and, though their engines are smaller (1,000-1,250 horsepower), they are just mobile relative to weight.)))

In other news, Ukrainian armored forces are being incredibly resilient and resourceful in attaching their own homemade ERA (reactive armor; against chemical & kinetic threats) to their freshly delivered Leopards. I’m assuming they’re doing it to their Challengers as well, but I haven’t seen the pictures like I have for the Leos. Leo 2A4 with added on ERA:

In other, other news, the Kremlin is pulling T-54s and T-55s out of mothballs and reserves to be sent to the Ukrainian front. Guys, these are tanks that started service in 1948. If you’re too lazy to do math, these are 75-year-old heaps that probably haven’t seen the touch of a mechanic in two decades despite the T-54 technically still being in-service.

Bonus pics just because they look goofy: M1A2 vs T-72 & T-55 vs. Challenger II

not to mood swivel but I cannot stop thinking abt Clara getting mind controlled

#now granted. once she’s mind controlled that would likely break her connection to Gotham in which case #Clara is basically only a threat in the sense that she’s mind controlled and therefore wouldn’t care about her safety #which would be rough for all the ppl fighting her who actually like… care abt her #on the other hand can you imagine if somebody managed to control both Clara and Gotham itself somehow #everybody would be FUCKED lmao literally she could put the entire city in a sinkhole if she wanted! #flood the streets ruin buildings!! what a MESS!! #the reason she can’t do that generally is bc it harms her but like if she’s willing to do it anyway……. #food for thought idk I love the idea of Clara getting to cause a little devastation. as a treat #(and then waking up in extreme pain and being horrified at what she’s done. as a treat) #wishlist; mun. #ooc.
