And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Frost is totally weather!

But it's a whole different weather vibe than a hurricane. It's a different temperature and everything.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's still got water in it. I don't see how they can possibly be different.

I think what we need is a movie where people run from a hurricane. It's the only way to solve this.

You can't make a good snowfort in a hurricane.

There is a bodysurfing tradeoff.

What is even happening?

Frost is much colder. It's much slower. It's lower down. Do we need to send you back to Michigan for a refresher course on frost, ita?

Partly for selfish reasons because I will never get a chance to visit NO as it was

Like you Maria, I'm mostly just horrified and heartbroken because of the tragedy, but I have to admit, there's a small bit of "I'll never get to see it" in there, too. A lot of people I've talked with though, those who've been there, and those who haven't, feel the same.

The closest I've come to bodysurfing is a bellyflop. Burrowing is much easier.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Still, it's bad enough that it is archived on the interbunny. I don't need my failed attempts at race sluttage shown on basic cable.

ftr, I don't need any potentially successful ones shown either. I'm demure that way.

Ah, so THAT'S the way you are demure.

Watching the news. I don't think people 'stealing' groceries should be called looters.

I agree, Trudy. And at this point, with all that water, and no electricity, the people taking things like groceries are performing a salvage job, more than anything else.

Me either. It's not like they can buy food anywhere.
