Hurricane

Posted by TheTankTribune - October 9th, 2024


Hello Newgrounds.


To make a long story short, I live in South Carolina.


To make a long story long. I live in South Carolina and was affected by Hurricane Helene. I had three trees fall on my house, which thankfully caused zero damage to my house. Got lucky there because my house has two skylights where the trees fell and they all missed.


Unfortunately I had lost power from Friday the 27th until October 3rd. I didn't have Internet until this past Sunday on October 5th, and even then it was pretty spotty. I had no way of working on any Newgrounds material. I had to conserve battery power because my day job still had power, so I had to charge my phone at work. Unfortunately Newgrounds is blocked on the work computer and my work was without Internet as well.


Thankfully power is back on and I have done damage control at home and am now in the process of getting the inside of the house situated as well, because everything in my refrigerator and freezer went bad. I am sorry for the delay in The Tank Tribune.


If you live in the South and was affected by the hurricane, please share your stories below. The Tank Tribune will be returning with a lot of catch up this Sunday, and as on my Patreon on Saturday.

Damn... That sucks._.

I'm very sorry to hear this, I really wish the best for you. Stay safe!

You don't need to apologize. Your safety is more important than that, and thank God you and your house is okay. Take some time to get things together. God be with you.

Glad you are safe! Take all the time needed to recover and restore the damage done to your house.

I'm so sorry that happened to you, but I'm glad you're alive!

Ah shit. That’s awful. Hope everything sorts itself soon.

Take care, hope you all manage to pick up the pieces sooner rather than later <3

I'm in central Florida, and Hurricane Helene didn't do anything but a basic thunderstorm for me (my sympathies for how you were affected by Helene<3 I just got lucky), but I am a little nervous about Milton. It's gonna make landfall as a CAT 4 and Im hoping it doesnt do any damage or cause any flooding. But hey man keep your cool and take it easy, youll be ok<3

Yeah glad you're safe, Do not worry about the Tank Tribune stuff as your life is far more important, Stay safe over there!

Hope you, your friends and family are staying safe, that's the most important. Wishing you nothing but the best during this awful time

Take care man.

That does indeed suck. Here's hoping your situation improves in a timely manner.

My story is nothing like yours. During Helene the power went off at about 12:45 a.m....it was pitch dark in the apartment anthill I live in until after 4. Milton did not affect me at all. For perspective, I live in northeast Florida.
