Come on. You are not fooling anyone. We all know you want to hear more about the big hard hoses and pumping.
Interesting, I've lived through a few storm surges on the third coast and remember having to cut the grass a lot sooner than. a year. Cali vegetation must be some kind of special sensitive like the residents.
During Opal, myself and all my neighbors within six or seven house had water from the bayou in the lower parts of our back yards…or worse. Soon as the weather turned warm I had to break out the Honda.
"...All right passengers... We are bein' held up here in Fuddtown for the next coupla' hours as the locomotive takes on coal and water. Also there seems to be a large herd of buffalo wanderin' 'bout the tracks up ahead. The brakeman's done gone forth with a Winchester, t' see if he kin' scare 'em off. Gon' be a bit of a wait here fellas..."

I remember one time I had a Glock for about 2 months...
Back in the day I missed the first part of an Alaska patrol because my unit sent me to a law enforcement school. After the school I flew commercial to Kodiak and caught a very long and very unpleasant ride to Dutch Harbor in a side facing jumpseat on a C-130, 6 months later that C-130 experienced a catastrophic engine failure and the propeller came apart and tore a 9’ hole in the fuselage, the seat that I rode to Dutch Harbor was part of the 9’ hole and now sits on the bottom of the Bering Sea. When the engine came apart and tore a giant hole in the fuselage they were 6 hours from the nearest airfield and flew back and made a perfect landing.
6 hours in a C-130 isn’t really that far.
There was a story about a B-17 flying combat missions over Europe that got it's entire tail section blown off by 88mm flak and the crew coolly flew it back to base and landed the bird. These machines are the essence of the very American spirit. I don't think anything else in the world that flies is capable of feats like that.

I see the shock on their face as I grab all of them and take them all at once.
It'd be a long 6 hours with an engine down and a fucking 9' hole in the side.
If you look on the fuselage of a 130, you'll see the plane of rotation area painted on the side.
Never sit between the lines.
Same thing on a -60 power cart. Never stand been those lines.
I never had a problem with either one. I fired up a -60 thousands of times and flew on 130's too many times to count, but I wasn't going to take any chances.
And 6 hours? Lol. Back and forth across the pond a bunch of times and Germany to Mali and back once. The best spot is on the bunk on the flight deck or if the plane is configured for litters. A hammock across the ramp isn't bad, but you better have something under you for insulation. The ramp gets COLD.
The yellow one seems to hold the lifelines for the other ones too. Take out the yellow and the foundation that supports all the others can be collapsed as well. It's like in the beginning of Starship Troopers when Rico's squad during the raid on the Skinnies' homeworld had already expended their munitions as per the commander's orders and were closing the flank to meet at the extraction point. Rico had one mini-nuke rocket left for his suit's launcher and he had several targets in the enemy city to choose from. He settled on the furthest one, which he figured was either the powerplant or the HQ for the Skinnies' planetary defense. If the former, it would cause widespread blackout and complete disabling of computer/radar/hi tech weapons systems for a long time. If the latter, the enemy leadership would be glassed. In any case, it would have inflicted the least amount of noncombatant casualties with the greatest amount of infrastructure and morale damage...
