    I can only assume they mean in the Talking Heads-iest sense of the phrase

    Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
    Letting the days go by, water flowing underoverground
    Into the blue again after the money's gone
    Once in a lifetime, water flowing underoverground

    Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
    Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
    Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
    Same as it ever was, same as it ever was

      Luckily comrade Milton and friends have saved their strength for the USInc. of A. Put into perspective, when the weather is actually severe, like Helene, the electricity and/or water may be turned off for a time to protect the infrastructure, that did not happen this time. Confirming that it was only a bit stormy for a few hours. Didn't even notice it tbh. Hope Floridian comrades can stay safe.

      I remember a lot about Katrina and now it seems like that same part of the country is just going to get hit by hurricanes larger each month on a regular basis. Part of the problem with Katrina was government incompetence and not being ready for it. Not a lot has changed since then. I think they reinforced some sea walls?

        I think the sea walls were actually a major cobtributing factor in Katrina. The main thing government does is coordinate evacuations, repair delivery infrastructure (like roads), and distribute resources. All of those are more difficult to do if the sea walls break and the damage is worse than forecasted.
