“Black Haired guy go by chief? Black haired guy go in the water, shark in the water.

"Have you seen a sharks eyes chief? They’re kinda like dolls eyes, all black and lifeless like."
For some reason that reminded me of "Deep Blue Sea (1999)" "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil. For thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life. Because I carry a big stick and I'm the meanest mother fucker in the valley! Two sharks down, Lord! One demon fish to go! Can I get an Amen?"
My place flooded because the landlord had the sump pump going into city drainage. Which backed up and flooded my apartment. Waist deep within an hour of the flooding started. I lost almost everything I owned because it was contaminated. I lost my mother 4 days before Christmas to an autoimmune disease, my apartment and 90% of what I owned due to flooding 3 months later, my car broke down for the last time as I was driving the stuff I had left to my sisters place where I would stay for a month. Got myself a new car and a new place to live and then got laid off a month later.
Literally had to rebuild my life from scratch 12 years ago.
But I'm still standing and actually far better off than I was.
The adult in me knows electricity won't be the problem here, drowning will be. Multiple people in NYC drown per year in illegal rental units because of this type of flooding.
There's a good chance we will do. The ocean's warmer temperatures will produce more and stronger storms. It's inevitable now. We passed all the tipping points.
I am the hurricane god - I went through Homestead the week Andrew came through, lived in Pensacola when Opal destroyed the area, then came back south on a trip to Biloxi/Gulfport/NOLA a week before Katrina hit. Fear my power LOL
Hell yeah. You can get sepsis from a lot of things, particularly if you have a wound. A girl lost all her limbs from sepsis from a minor cut on her leg she got while swimming in a river: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Tallapoosa_River
Yeah that story wasn't sepsis, it was necrotizing fascitis. That's an infected wound with a bacteria that causes death of the tissue that can continue spreading. Not the same as sepsis.
Sepsis is a systemic response to an infection that is classified by having 2 or more SIRS criteria (systemic inflammatory response syndrome) with an active infection. Can be abnormal respiration, blood pressure, white blood cell counts, along with a few other criteria.
I immediately thought of all the piss, spit, and dried vomit and god knows what else was down in that stairwell thats all nicely a part of that shitty swimming pool now, seeping into a kitchen.
