ShadowRemains
08.12.20 | do you live in cedar rapids, also i need to give that faceless burial record a jam |
evilford
08.12.20 | I do live in cr
FB was actually sweet af. Chunky stuff |
ShadowRemains
08.12.20 | yeah that was a nasty derecho, probably one of the most severe in the history of the state (if not the most) |
evilford
08.12.20 | I've never seen anything like it, its fucking insane. The entire city looks like a nuke went off. Trees are blocking roads all over the place. They're talking about a week or more to restore power to the 240,000 iowa residents without, everything is closed, everyone is charging their phones in the cars, |
evilford
08.12.20 | I hope dom is alright, I think he lives near chicago |
ShadowRemains
08.12.20 | i'm guessing wind gusts got well over 100 mph (maybe over 120) in more spots than were recorded, the satellite picture of the crops flattened is ridiculous |
evilford
08.12.20 | I went out to try to find ice today (unsuccessful in cr, all power is out), there were several buildings just gone. Literally like they had been bombed.
I will never forget being outside smoking in the cool calm air one minute, the next minute watching neighbors' furniture flying thru my yard with waves of water. Just insane |

08.12.20 | Holy crap, stay safe Ford! |
evilford
08.12.20 | Im good now thanks dew, just gotta live without power and decent internet for a while.
Luckily my kids live with their mom a little over an hour away and they weren't even really touched by this thing so I'm thankful for that |
RogueNine
08.12.20 | Going to be a one billion dollar disaster in the end, yeah? So many lost crops. |
porcupinetheater
08.12.20 | Things were rough in Chicago but doesn’t look like it was near as bad as CR got hit, Lord |
ShadowRemains
08.12.20 | nah the thing definitely maxed out in iowa, from northwest of des moines through marshalltown and cedar rapids to the quad cities |
Emim
08.12.20 | Damn, dude. Glad you're ok.
We don't get storms like that here, but we do have to worry about fires which are terrifying in their own special way. |
ShadowRemains
08.12.20 | yup that faceless burial album is really damn good |
evilford
08.12.20 | Thanks emim
Yeah I can't wait to jam some good shit again. Its only been 2 days and I'm having withdrawal |
evilford
08.12.20 | Day 3 no power |
Snake.
08.12.20 | hot damn RIP man |
TheNotrap
08.12.20 | I hope you'll be okay mate. Providence is a great dig |

08.12.20 | sending love from Ames. GL bro m/ |
evilford
08.12.20 | Thanks yall I'm ok just moderately inconvenienced for a while. Coulda been much worse for me |
evilford
08.13.20 | Whats kinda maddening is there is no national coverage of/help recovering from the storm. Its like nobody even knows it happened outside of the 440,000-500,000 (?) People who are going on day 4 of no power/property damage repair. I don't think trump has said a word about it, probably doesn't even know. Like is this gonna turn into another Flint, MI debacle because of piss-poor emergency management? Guess we'll see. Sucks more when it directly impacts you i guess lol |
evilford
08.13.20 | Day 4 no power |
evilford
08.14.20 | Bump. Going on day 5 of no power/no national coverage or assistance |
ShadowRemains
08.14.20 | this video is insane: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=718057325407615 |
evilford
08.14.20 | I'll check it when I can load anything else in addition to sput lol |

08.14.20 | edit: nvm |
evilford
08.14.20 | Alright |
hexfix93
08.14.20 | Damn that sucks dude. Hopefully you guys get some help out there. Is there even an ETA on when power is supposed to be restored? |
evilford
08.14.20 | Thanks, some people have it back but I've heard it could still be over a week til the whole city has power again. The problem in a lot of places is downed power lines entangled with downed trees. They don't want to just immedoately restore power and then cause a bunch of fires. Day 5 after the storm and the cleanup really has just begun |
PopsicleBob
08.14.20 | ayyy you from CR i live like an hour away from you |
evilford
08.14.20 | U get hit bad there? |
hexfix93
08.15.20 | Shit man I hope you get yours back on before then. That's fucked though about the lack of coverage. I didn't even hear anything about it until I saw your list.
Are storms like that common in CR? We don't really get storms like that here in Cleveland, it's usually surrounding counties that get nailed lol |
evilford
08.15.20 | I mean we're in whats called "tornado alley", we regularly get hit hard by tornadoes but this was akin to a lower category 3 hurricane. 112 mph clocked winds or around there for 30-45 mins, entire cities just fucking leveled and 600,000ish in the region going on day 6 of no power/debris cleanup, and those are the fortunate ones. I have many friends whose homes and businesses were completely destroyed |
evilford
08.15.20 | Power came back on today. Sweet |
hexfix93
08.16.20 | Oh yeah I forgot Iowa was in that area. That's fucked man I don't even know what to say to that tbh. I mean it's bad enough to lose everything like that, not to mention all the other bullshit that's been going on this year. |
evilford
08.17.20 | crazy ass year yeah. |
