    @clacke Sweden's water sounds great.

    I have worked in 15 US states and I have never found a place where tap water tastes good. I always have to buy a filter or just buy bottled water.

    The worst places were in #Mississippi (Jackson, Starkville #MS), #Louisiana (Baton Rouge #LA) and #California (Irwindale #CA).

    In Irwindale, the water came out looking like diluted milk ... and stayed that way several minutes later. It is an old rock quarrying town, so I suspect it was just rock debris suspended in the water.

    In Mississippi, the water came out yellow for a few days before getting clear again. The same thing happened in #Baton_Rouge, but it was only one or two days and it only happened once.

    Watching the #NOAA / #NHC site’s updates about #Hurricane #Ian as the storm’s eyewall comes ashore in #FL. I’m used to watching the storm stream from WAFB-TV-9 in #Baton_Rouge #LA, but they are not covering this event in #Florida. https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/

    S informed me that her most recent supervisor had requested that she be suspended. Which she only found out by calling to find out why they hadn't called her for any of the available assignments.

    After filing a mistreatment claim, they unsuspended her, but only because they did not follow established procedures in the process.

    She can be cantankerous. One time, we were both working in #Louisiana. At pretty much every hotel I've been in, if you're in #LA or #MS, they go through your unlocked suitcases every day. She decided to confront the hotel manager about it and got kicked out of the hotel ... had to rush to find another place to stay that night.

    As far as I can tell, they don't open TSA locks, so I just locked my stuff and carried all my electronics in the trunk of the rental car.

    @geniusmusing Yeah, I expect that #Hurricane #Ida will have nearly every federal agency involved in responding, the way Puerto Rico did after Hurricane #Maria. Co-workers are already trying to guess who gets sent to #LA and who goes to #MS or even #TN.

    Ida lands as a category 4 hurricane with estimated sustained winds of 150MPH and gusts of 185MPH. #LA is getting torn up from the winds and the flooding. (I saw storm surge forecasts of 15ft last night, I’d guess even more ocean water than expected got pushed onshore with this higher wind speed.)

    I really hope most people got out of Dodge before the storm arrived. Otherwise, this is conversation with your Maker time in #Louisiana and probably #Mississippi ( #MS ) and #Alabama ( #AL ) right now.

    Found out today that area code 318 is also Louisiana. I think I've mentioned it before, but my work cell gets 3-4 call attempts per day from #LA area codes. Except recently, the number is far less, and I think that's because they are re-using old spoofed numbers that I've already blocked.

    Since I've worked in Louisiana twice (for a total of about 21 months), I must have gotten on someone's list that way. I do occasionally get a spam call from another state's area code, but that is less than once per week.

    Fun fact: other than fried shrimp at Red Lobster and a crawfish pasta dish at Walk-Ons (Baton Rouge, #LA; right across from LSU's stadium), I have never eaten shellfish.

    Learning to block numbers from 225, 337, 504 area codes on sight.

    Sorry if there’s ever a legit call from #Louisiana. The spam callers are currently spoofing #LA numbers multiple times per day.

    For the past few days, the $EMPLOYER cellphone has been getting an increased number of spam calls. I don’t answer any of them, and I block each number after the fact (despite knowing the numbers are spoofed, I know they will sometimes re-use a number).

    So far, every number is from #Louisiana. The marketers are likely NOT in #LA, but they are just spoofing numbers there.

    post-tropical cyclone #Zeta continues to move rapidly. The center of the storm is over Delaware, about to cross into the ocean (most of the storm is already at sea). Yesterday afternoon / evening, it was heading into Louisiana and Mississippi.

    #NOAA / #NHC has issued its last advisory about the storm. https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/

    Along the way, parts of #DE #MD #VA #NJ #NC #TN #KY #WV #LA #MS #AL were under the storm. Hopefully, because of its speedy motion, there will be less damage across most of that path.

    It looks like the center of #Hurricane #Zeta is moving onshore near New Orleans, #LA, right about now. https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ I haven't seen any news stories about evacuations, but there must be. I don't know how high the storm surge is, but a high surge can ride inland for a few miles, meaning that normally dry land temporarily becomes part of the ocean.

    I’m positive I couldn’t see THIS prison from the highway, but I did see an old prison near the #LA - #MS border. From “the time when they knew how to punish people”.

    I’ve never beed incarcerated, but my impression is that modern US prisons are still horrible, but much less so than they used to be.

    Mark told me that the news showed quite a bit of damage in #AL from #Hurricane #Sally. I hope there are no chemical plants in that area. There were a few days of "shelter in place" in #LA after a recent hurricane caused a fire at such a plant.

    Glanced at PowerOutage.us ... looks like Cameron Parish, #LA, is still about 85% without power. Overall, it looks like 45% of the state is out. Most is due to #hurricane #Laura that went through the state a couple of weeks back.

    There's an important caveat in that PowerOutage does not track all of the state's electric providers, so its figures could be high OR low.
