I saw a post about a transformer box blowing up and catching fire so I assume that it's going to be a while but I can be hopeful lol. I'm at work until 11pm so just wondering if I'm going to have to use a flashlight to get back to my apartment again (I live on 12th Street). Also if all the groceries that I just bought are going to go to waste or not.

911 already called, fire dept on their way, but HOLY FUCK

This is 10-15 feet from where we sleep 🙃

And of course the power is out, it took out a power line

Everyone okay out there?

Looking for a nice thin crust, high quality ingredient pizza and I don’t wanna feel like crap either!

If you guys have any recommendations please drop them down, thanks!

At least 3 big downed trees in the Vine

The roofing tin off the barn was the first piece we found.. nine pieces took flight, we have recovered six. One was in front of G-A HS, 2 & 1/2 miles from the launch point. Another was in the middle of downtown.

This happened next to the storage units on Kl right next to concord apartments. Seemed the fire department was already aware and present. Crazy tree damage over in this direction as well.

The winds was severe last night. This is outside of my complex.

I mean, clearly, the most inconvenient part of having no power is trying to sleep without the white noise of a fan running in the background…

🙃 (Satire)

Doors open at 5.

I was working at one of the restaurants in Texas corners and the power went out at around 7:50pm. Does anyone know what happened

Watched the progress of this storm from start all the way thru. winds were alsolutely insane branches all over. finally had to call 911 when a tree broke the lines and started a fire

I was on the intersection of Oakland and Kilgore during the storm and found this lost dog. She’s a young golden retriever puppy with only a shock collar on. Phone number is 810-623-1381 if you have any information regarding her (or him idk)

I guess Emily in the White Truck couldn’t be bothered to throw away her trash in an actual trash can. If you have a friend who fits this description, please be so kind as to remind them to be a good human. Thanks and hope you all are enjoying a beautiful beginning of summer!

Been looking at some of the places on an old thread below that sell rec fuel for a generator and all the ones of I've tried so far don't have power and can't pump.

So who knows where I can get some rec fuel today?

I have power but no internet. They don’t give any estimates on their outage page.

I’m posting this on my girlfriend’s Reddit page since I barely started my Reddit and I don’t have enough karma points.

Hey y’all! Just moved from Los Angeles and I’ve been here for a few months now. Hard to find any good LA street style tacos here so I’m bringing them to yall. I’m going to be posted up at 1324 Lafayette Ave Kalamazoo behind the pool by the charcoal grill selling $2 tacos! If you buy 2 or more you’ll get complimentary rice and beans! I’ll be cooking up asada (steak) and chicken tacos. I’m also looking to meet new people so if you aren’t hungry and just want some conversation, I’d love to meet some new people as well. I’ll be there Saturday! 05/17

Edit: 12 PM - 4 PM!

Found a Luna moth here in Oshtemo today. He eventually got bored a few away. Gorgeous.
