Sprinkle a few drops of water in hot oil, or even just on a oven burner. See how it pops? Now imagine a lot more suddenly going from ice to vapor. It's explosive, and some hot oil is going to be thrown out on anyone in range.

Some native Floridians now dismiss a Cat 4 as not as big deal as a Cat 5, not realizing the very small wind level difference. Adding a 6 would let them downplay a 5. My own stance is that once things start getting picked up by moving air, it's all dangerous and should be prepared for and avoided.
Plus, most deaths in a hurricane aren't from the wind. They're from drowning from flood waters. There's plenty of eyewitness videos now on the internet for anyone to be aware of the seconds it takes to go from safe to shit, but people will always think it only happens to other people.
Be sure to have backups and not that sole location. Same is true of any physical drive, but at least a drive failure might be recoverable. A cloud storage can just be gone one day.

Great movie, just badly promoted (ironic since it was totally for marketing purposes). I so want to have a sequel, I just think it may have been a one-time wonder and trying to capture it again won't feel genuine. I hope to be proven wrong. Even how to best do a sequel is a hot debate topic.
That's rather symbolic of the state of things today.

Or full VR experience online eg. Neuromancer. Though even if the tech was available and fully tested and working, there are many pros and cons to all forms of enhancement or out-of-body existence, or a more extended life.
Clothing maybe. Jewelry or other inorganics.
I imagine there's other connections not shown near the Great Lakes since this is just showing the dominant south paths, but for the most part it does seem that the inner continent is higher north than south. Which given the geological history also makes sense, with the Canadian shield.
Just take him out for an all night party to get him drunk, and then accidentally open the door as the sun is rising.

Some of us "essentials" pretended that nothing was going on at all and kept going to work because an actual shutdown of core parts of society would have been a total disaster. I'm totally for WFH situations where it makes sense, but some jobs require a physical presence even in a pandemic, otherwise the wheels stop for everyone.
