cops are sweeping unhoused people during an emergency cyclone weather bomb doing sweeps & attacking camps in extreme weather.

“It’s already hard enough to be unhoused. Add a horrific storm. People are taking scraps of tents to make new shelters. I watched them build this tent from 4x4s, three pallets of wood, pieces of plastic, and leftover scraps from the last storm. A 70-year-old man and his developmentally disabled son live here...

Last night around 6 p.m., an unhoused woman died as a tree came down on her tent. All night long we were receiving calls and just sitting on the phone with people as the storm passed to make sure that they were okay. We had 70-mile-an-hour winds and rain.”

our dog lily lined up her plush toys mathematically in a line around her bed this morning i’m certain due to anxiety around severe weather happening now.
