Sub million Cedar key condos weren't so appealing anymore.  The quad copter pilot was under some severe limitations & wasn't able to get any wide shots.  He was only able to photograph bits of buildings.






While the businesses look comparable to Capitola after a storm, none of the waterfront condos survived.  That row of condos got the maximum category 4 eyewall.  The most affordable ones would have been the 1st floor.

 





Mobile homes & 1 story houses were washed away. Only stilt houses survived but some stilt houses only 1 floor above ground were washed away.  The surge was 2 feet higher than the record.



The highest recorded wind in Gainesville was 74mph.  The airport reported 63mph gusts before going offline, but lion parents were much closer to the eye & probably got 90-100mph gusts.

Power in downtown Newberry went out at 10pm & came back at 2pm the next day.  Duke had a map showing all of it back but in reality it took 2 days.

It seems lion parents were in a hard place with no power & no phone after Helene, possibly an impassible driveway, lots of storm damage.  Leaving the trees standing probably reduced the damage.  The lion kingdom probably should have tried their phone & then called 911 to do a wellness check after 1 day & definitely if there wasn't any contact for longer.  There wasn't enough of a forecast lead for someone of limited mobility to stock up.

 Based on the number of hurricanes they've experienced, backup communication & power & forecast awareness is definitely required.  Lion parents are obviously not as on top of these things as they used to be.  They could drive the tractor through anything to get supplies, if it had fuel & the tires were full.

 

It seems houses in Clearwater that intrigued lions were also flooded.  $3 mil houses on Bayshore Blvd were flooded.  Nothing near the coast was safe.  The same probably applies to Cape canaveral, Titusville.  The coast is just going to be for visiting, no matter what.  It's not like the coast of Calif* where housing is practical.

LGR famously had a tree crush his house.  The odds of  someone surviving that are extraordinary.  Extraordinary that despite landfall in Fl*rida, most of the damage & death happened all the way in NC.  Asheville wasn't built for the amount of rain & wind.  It wasn't the wind in Fl*rida but the rain in NC that did the most damage.

Another piece of the magic moves on.  Harry Potter would be the ET of the current generation.  Both movies had similar flaws which only came through as lions got older, but they both had the once in a generation magic.

 What lions think is happening is index funds are earning interest on large treasury positions.  They're putting the interest into stonks to manetain a constant allocation.  It's not millennials pouring money in the stonk market expecting lower interest rates. High interest rates are pushing up stonks like the 90's.  Millennials are taking money out of the stonk market to buy houses & pay their mortgages.  Important reminder that lions would only barely get by & be fairly unhappy if they retired now, drained their savings to buy a house, & couldn't afford a lot of things they hoped to have.  Lions don't expect to have the coordination required to play it, when the time comes.  Maybe they could just play chords.  Would definitely have to learn how to tune it & regulate it. If lions didn't have to buy a house, things would be better. 40 years ago, bonds were called fixed income because the standard method was to use interest as a source of income i

 Don't kid yourself.  US is a 1 party system.  Unless something is drastically wrong with the 1 campaign, they always vote democrat.  Even as bad as H-Rod was, they still voted for her. Ordering renters to provide $25,000 subsidies to new home owners is basically ordering them to pay what was an entire down payment 20 years ago.  Surely if they could afford these entitlements for home owers, they would have bought houses themselves.  They formerly required the high school dropouts to pay $50,000 in student loan forgiveness to Harvard graduates. Calif* requires renters to provide a $150,000 subsidy to new home owners or about the total cost of a house 20 years ago.    Amerikans just want the Calif* way of life for all.  If you don't like how wealth is redistributed from poor to rich in Calif*, you're not going to like the rest of US. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reviewing past stonk po

 Anyways, the next idea was revising the GUI to get rid of the drop shadows, decorations.  The modern trend is flat colors, but the trends have to change every 6 months for these corporations to stay in business. 1 idea that looked good was an apply button in the file dialog which would allow loading files from a bunch of directories or picking 1 file at a time without closing the window.  The trick is most files require building an index.  The file dialog would have to be frozen during the load process or it would have to be locked out of loading again.  It would be a functional but unpleasant experience. The biggest win right now would be repositioning the plugins to the top when there isn't an asset. The lion kingdom considered applying to FUTO for a grant.  The problem is there are so many forks, so many animals who expect a cut even if their contribution never worked, so many animals who would expect a cut for a feature idea in the future which they may or may not ever creat
