    I watched his video doing a walkthrough of the damage yesterday. It’s really sad. Not just his collection of all this stuff that he is so passionate about, but his whole house. So much damage caused by nature. I hope he’s able to get things back to semi-normal soon.

        I believe he had a new in box Apple Newton that sustained a bunch of water damage. Not sure how rare those are.

          He lives in western North Carolina, definitely not an area prone to hurricanes.

            So far, things seem to be prety decent where I’m at in Utah, but we do have the looming risk of “the big one” Earthquake. But to be fair, that has a pretty high chance of causing Yellowstone to erupt, which would probably kill everyone on the planet, so I guess I prefer a quicker death to starvation.

            But yeah, Ashville is way in there, no wonder he was surprised.

                Huh, I thought it would be bigger than that, what with how massive it is and how much ash would go up into the sky.

                Looks like I would probably survive, but my house wouldn’t, and getting out would royally suck because it would wreck the air intake for my car. But I could probably make it out.

      I have no clue how he’s this quickly been able to have such a positive attitude and sense of humor about it. I’d be despondent in his shoes.

      I suppose I shouldn’t be too surprised; Clint always brings such enthusiasm and positivity to his videos. He’s a go-to when I’m sick. He’s like chicken noodle soup in video form.

    Can we talk about how he is directing people to not donate to him, but instead donate to help others in his area. Absolute Chad.

    That’s so sad to hear, but I’m glad he’s ok and pushing forward. Clint deserves the best.

    That hurts in the same way as the time I saw someone on reddit say that an early 3d printer fire burnt their house down… and their cat.

      Your problem are not falling trees, but flimsy houses! A concrete or steel structure would have cut that tree in half. The roof tile would have been damaged but that’s cheaper to fix.

        can’t say i would argue! but when all the houses are that way, i can’t really buy a concrete/steel construction house in any normal price range

    He’s a thought: move away from hurricane territory. Seriously, wtf is wrong with people. You live in a disaster-prone region.

          Actually it would since if you’re nice you aren’t going to fuck up the planet so much that it isn’t livable anymore.

          Yeah, that’s absolutely what I am saying. Its nowhere even near the coast where a hurricane is ever a serious concern besides some gusts and a few inches of rain from one and even then, you’re thinking of that much closer to the coast.

      The people affected by Helene aren’t in hurricane territory
