I see a lot of farticles about “How to watch” an NBA of NFL game, or how to watch “Yellowstone” or “The View” but I’ve yet to see on farticle about “How to Survive a Cyclone Bomb.” How do they expect people to figure that kind of stuff out for themselves?
““There may be more,” Poloncarz said...”
Awaiting the springtime thaw...
I’ve heard of the looting. I don’t understand how looters can go out in snowdrifts several feet high and go do that. But apparently they are taking advantage of the bad weather to commit their crimes.
Yes. Yesterday, nothing to do with storms, my cousins’ mom died in the morning and an under 40 mom and wife died last night. As of last summer they lived around the corner from each other.
“...Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown reported numbers totaling 27 earlier Monday morning...”
That idiot can count that high?
Most CO deaths are from improper use of portable generators or temporary heating appliances. Like running the generator in the garage with the door open.
Everytime there is a major power outage here in NH some people kill themselves with the exhaust from a generator.
Other Darwin potential award winners will end up burning their house down. I asked a former firefighter buddy what was the stupidest thing he had seen after a recent ice storm.
He told me how they showed up to a single story house. There was smoke coming out the basement windows.
The guy had lost power and decided to build a campfire on the concrete floor in the basement to warm up the house.
They scorched the floor joists almost catching the underside of the first floor on fire.
Were any of them the looters? If not, it’s a tragedy.
Snow that falls that deep and fast could easily block exhaust vents for gas furnaces and water heaters, too.
I know someone in this recent storm who had to go outside and know the ice off her furnace vent for the furnace to work.
I could see blocked vents being a problem.
Agreed.
possibly however most MODERN high efficiency furnaces go “off on limit” when the venting is blocked, thus shutting down the entire system. Since the late nineties.
