mortality, fear, warding behavior, self-reassurance, Hurricane Delta (~) 

Listen, I mean, I calculated the approximate mortality rate of Hurricane Katrina and it was something like 1 in 2850 in Louisiana.

And I did some more panic-research and confirmed that not only was Katrina a direct hit on New Orleans -- whereas Delta is currently expected to hit somewhere around Lafayette, >100 miles west -- the damage really was largely because the ACOE fucked up a levee project and they didn't hold up. Those levees have gotten a lot of love and attention, hopefully the competent sort, since then.

But still. Just in case.

I've had a really interesting life and honestly while I can think of far better ways to go, it's an adventure innit, and I don't know if I really have any serious regrets. Love you all lots.

@zebratron2084 You'll be fine and your brain is lying to you about the otherwise. Don't be mad at it, it's just scared. ♥
