I’m gonna go ahead and be the first asshole to go there: I’m gonna call it now. This storm didn’t earn the recognition of shutting everyone’s power off for potentially a week or more. This rain event was weak by any standard. There was a planned shutdown in conjunction with this “atmospheric river”. Why not? A lot of people are down and out at the moment. Why not kick them a bit. Sit back and enjoy watching them lose all the food in their freezer and fridge while they freeze half to death in the homes they are forced to stay in. Can’t even go to work to stay warm, or the gym to get a shower.
