@paul@oldfriends.liveWe are in the "Oh Shit" severe #weather zone. #wx
Between 7pm and 5am (1am to 5am primarily for where I live) Wednesday night/Thursday morning we are supposed to get 7 to 9.8 inches of rain where I am sitting right now.
I hate mobility issues and night storms.
Tornadoes, damaging wind, large hail, high winds & flooding are likely.
Although I can see the Ohio River out my back window, it's very close, it would take "Biblical" flooding to reach us due to our elevation but flash floods from the mountain 600 feet above sea level higher than us over a few mile grade is our flood danger.
Our Enhanced Risk is level 3 of 5, and usually means there will be numerous severe thunderstorms and tornadoes, along with several intense storms.
The two greatest concerns are tornadoes and damaging wind gusts.
Each threat has us in the "hatched" area for both tornadoes and wind.
That wind comes up the #Ohio river between the two mountains like a Dyson vacuum tank and lets loose in our village
In regard to tornadoes, that means we have a greater probability of EF2 - EF5 tornadoes. For damaging winds, we have a greater probability of 75+ mph gusts.
There will be storms that probably will produce +one-inch hail.
@paul@oldfriends.liveRural #Ohio hospital has power shut off after being behind payments.
East Ohio Regional Hospital in Martins Ferry, Ohio (EORH) abruptly shut down ancillary services less than 2 weeks ago by posting a notice on the doors after facing cash flow issues.
Later, more than 80 staff members went to the police department and filed police reports stating they had not been paid, insurance premiums and other paycheck deductions had not gone to the intended recipients, etc
#hospital #healthcare
The specifics as to why this hospital occured cash flow issues has not been revealed but rural hospitals across Ohio are closing their doors because of cash flow issues.

Could anyone spare a "Like" for these kids who are trying to plant some seeds of Open Source in the USA Midwest?
Counter-Protest organized by the #ProudBoys in #Ohio was meager to say the least....
Reports are police keep two-groups apart "mostly" for Proud Boys side getting swallowed alive being heavily outnumbered.

@paul@oldfriends.live29/ Under the new #SocialSecuirty #SSA rule above, and the office closures and staff cuts mentioned in this thread above, if you don't have an SSA.Gov account before April 14th, 2025 and can use it, here is what Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass) on Thursday had to say
(FYI, I am rural in #Ohio. My #SSA office was already 1 hour away. #DOGE and Musk closed it. My office is now over 2 hours away.)
"Say a 66-year-old man qualifies for Social Security. Say he calls the helpline to apply, but he's told about a new DOGE rule, so he has to go online or in person. He can't drive. He has trouble with the website, [or not permitted to use it until he does an in person visit to verify his ID because he didn't have a SSA.GOV account prior to the rule being implemented] so he waits until his niece can get a day off to take him to the local office, but DOGE closed that office, so they have to drive two hours to get to the next closest office. When they get there, there are only two people staffing a 50-person line, so he doesn't even make it to the front of the line before the office closes and he has to come back. Let's assume it takes him three months to straighten this out, and he misses a total of $5,000 in benefits checks, which, by law, he will never get back. This scenario is a backdoor way Musk and Trump could cut Social Security." #USPol

@paul@oldfriends.liveThe other day, Ohio GOP advances effort to weaken child labor laws.
It left committee on party line votes.
It lets 14–15-year-olds work until 9pm on school nights
They are also working towards less "abc-123" schooling and more job-based "education." I have a feeling it isn't going to be true apprenticeships and will mask labor for education. #Ohio #Education
@paul@oldfriends.liveI miss TV snow sometimes. Vivek Ramaswamy has already started blasting the local tv stations with ads, with video of Trump endorsing him for governor of #Ohio. Can't these assholes give it a rest for at least one full season. We had the election ads for 2024 all year, then finally, spring is coming but no, this guy had to start putting his ads a couple weeks ago in the winter and now they are full blast. #USPol
