~kpm~ User ID: 75950402 United States 09/12/2018 10:43 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | here's the layout: Quoting: Elevated Intesity "With such a strong area of high pressure directly to the north of Florence, the storm has no pathway to curve out to sea as many other tropical systems usually do. Florence will be forced to the west, passing over an environment that is extremely favorable for intensification and on a collision course with the East Coast. But that represents only half of the problem." [link to www.washingtonpost.com (secure)] [link to www.washingtonpost.com (secure)] Good grief! Read the comments at that WAPost site. What a load of assholes. What do those assholes expect anyone to do Nothing is ever good enough Those comments show how stupid they are ~With forethought and malice Whitless enacted an EO giving nursing homes immunity from wrongful death prosecutions, forced them to take in infected patients and is responsible for over 6500+ nursing home deaths~ |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 76409967 United States 09/12/2018 10:44 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Be safe, I made a career change recently and got my all-lines adjusters license, my Carolina's licenses should be issued within the week. I been keeping up with the groups on fb...I've read some wild stories from hurricanes past, and seen some wild pics. Quoting: Jeremiah 29:11 I will most likely request my first deployment more inland than coastal, and leave that to the more experienced. Hopefully by next season I will be able to do my job with the confidence it will take for Cat recovery. Welcome to Cat Adjusting. I have been a Cat Adjuster for 13 years now. It's a family thing. Dad retired from it. Unc or retired from it. Brother and sister in law do it and on and on. Anyway, key is to hook up with a seasoned adjuster to help you out. Adjusters are good peoples all. Never met one that is not willing to help if you just ask. Use the help rooms if available. www.catadjuster.org is a great resource. It's a peer to peer community. I no longer work in the field. I am a file examiner and do mostly large loss claims reviews and settlement, but, I have seen first hand many times what's about to happen to the Carolina coast. Their will be plenty of people to help you. Get with your field supervisor and get names and numbers of seasoned adjusters working the same account. All companies want claims processed a little differently. Most of all, good luck and be safe. You can do it. Make that money. Thank you!! Yes, I have heard once one becomes an adjuster, it becomes a family deal. I will be the first one in my family! I'm excited but also a little fearful of my first deployment. I will certainly do as you advise. Thanks again! |

Keep 'em high and dry and may they be a blessing to those in need. Show them where to go and provide them with divine protection, in the Name of Jesus we pray, Amen. Quoting: Coppercoal Theres nothing much more than the below, I can add than say Yes and This to the Above. We do even if we dont see them all have a Guardian Angelic presence, they can only intervene/help if we ask. or something is about to go against for example our 3 score years and 10, the path laid out. Start a conversation with yours asap about all this, and the coming week for you and others. Hey might even lead to you those who need most help. "Intuition" "Nudges" "Gut Feelings" to save yourself and those who are alone in trouble and calling out to Divine for help. GodBless.

I am a civilian with .gov credentialing to work as a contractor for the Commerce department. (the CD dept is responsible for the weather, not NASA, not FEMA, etc...) Anyway, I have never been called out and it not be a shit storm. Ironically, I was not called into Katrina until AFTER the levee' broke. Ny job is ensure affected structures and safe for rehabilitation. Although, I often find dead bodies, lost animals, injured wildlife, looters, etc... So yeah, I am strapped when I enter. We are rallying in Raleigh NC on Saturday, and re-assessing at that point. Depending on how things go, I may have some fucking amazing photos, OR absolutely nothing. OMG you job sounds amazing. Whats your job title? same thing i thought as i read it... sounds like a rewarding job - albeit tough at times. how did you land in that field, i can't imagine its a highly sought after field in my area (michigan), as we seldom have disastrous weather. |

SmoothSailing User ID: 71448021 United States 09/12/2018 01:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Safe Travels. Have a friend who spent a month helping with Katrina. Mainly with the communication infrastructure. He is former military and a badass. Thank you for being a badass too! "A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear." Marcus Tullius Cicero |
