IMPORTANT: Huge Storm, No Internet
5 years ago
YO.
Heya, popping up here on my phone to give an important update:
Yesterday, a series of servere thunderstorms formed a derecho that ripped through my state & the midwest. What's a derecho? I had no idea until yesterday, but essentially: due to the large number of storms moving in cool air, it pushed the air current forcefully & produced hurricane-level winds.
I live far south, so I got no damage. But, many areas & cities that were in the middle of it are destroyed & without power (my aunt's city is without power, & half of my grandma's house got ripped away. She's ok, but this was a serious event I've never experienced in my whole life living here).
Along with this, my internet provider is down for my entire state & then some. They've stated they cannot proceed to fix their systems until power lines & electrical systems are fixed in the larger cities, so it's kinda...up in the air ATM on when it'll be back. Hopefully not that long, but I've heard from some others that it may be the end of the week. Unsure atm.
I've already contacted all clients regarding this, but I also wont be able to upload art due to this. I'll be working on what I can without internet on my desktop, so I'll hopefully have stuff to post when it comes back.
TL;DR: huge storm knocked out internet for my state, idk when it'll be back.
We're apparently suppose to get a derecho twice a year, but I'm 25 years old & have never even heard of it until yesterday lol. 2020 never stopping, I guess.
Thanks for reading~
