Customers w/o power as of 1:35 pm Sunday Nova Scotia 312,685 North Carolina 5,841 South Carolina 1,576 Virginia 916 Alabama 110 That's weird- Virginia went up. Probably from all the douches leaving their stuff turned on. Apparently, Alabama is pretty slow. They didn't fix many lines.

rockjunquie, Now that it seems the worst is past... You said you can't drink - if it's because of the alcohol, there are many very good n/a beers now. Just thought it was worth a mention. Stay safe 👍

rockjunquie , Now that it seems the worst is past... You said you can't drink - if it's because of the alcohol, there are many very good n/a beers now. Just thought it was worth a mention. Stay safe 👍 I have auto immune diseases, so I am on a special diet to heal myself. It's like Paleo but more strict- no alcohol- at all. After the first phase, I can slowly add it back in if it doesn't trigger me. I will probably got to a good potato vodka- Chopin. I most likely am sensitive to gluten, so no beer. Sadly.
edit to add- I have never had a no alcohol beer that I liked. Can you name a few good ones? I'll look them up.

But it wasn’t only homes that were destroyed when the tornado made landfall. At least one family’s livelihood took a direct hit.
Mike Denmead, 36, and his mom Linda Denmead, 70, had operated a granite countertop business, Artisan and Granite Inc., next to the mobile home park since 2006. But the structure where they polish sheets of stone was pulled into the air by the twister, which raked it across the roof of the building that houses their showroom and ultimately tossed it 150 yards into a nearby waterpark.

He said he was trying to recast this tragedy as an opportunity — the alternative was far too gut wrenching. “I can dwell on all the negatives because it’s the easiest thing to do, but what we need to do is just keep going,” he said. “Now we can rebuild and get things right.”

Why thank you, Sir. Looks mighty tasty. Tela, you can tell that by looking at a bottle? Dang, girl, wish I had that talent! (Glass bottles are very much frowned upon out here on the left coast. Blame the idiots that break them everywheree instead of recycling. Idiots seems to have become my favorite word, lately. As in, "I am surrounded by idiots!"

ALT Brewing in Madison offers several Gluten Free beers. My employer is currently offering HOLLYWOOD NIGHTS - Blonde IPA 7.2% Hop heavy with a clean herbal flavor and beautiful blonde color. Citrus notes balance the smooth bitterness for an amazing finish. (IBU 40, SRM 8).
I had to taste it. It is a hoppy beer I could drink.
ALT Brewing Tap House also offers a tasty variety of gluten free foods and snacks. These include a variety of cheese trays, breads, olives, pizza, nachos, etc. They also offer free gluten free children's snacks.

In AZ, when someone needs to be rescued because of their own stupidity (usually hiking or climbing up a mountain in 100+ heat with only 1 bottle of water), they get billed for the helicopter and rescue crew that had to come bail their sorry butts out. Do they do that by you in mandatory evacuation situations? I suppose it was too much trouble to ask, “Hi, is that rope still there on the side of the waterfall? You know, the one I used seven years ago.” Curtis Whitson felt sick to his stomach when he realized that he, his girlfriend and his 13-year-old son were suddenly stranded on an isolated stretch of California’s Arroyo Seco tributary. They had reached the most difficult part of their four-day floating and camping trip over the summer, and they were trapped atop a raging, 40-foot waterfall.
