...Here in Duckburg. (Patreon)

The hurricane passed, leaving manageable damage. I and every human/animal associated with me are fine. If you were in the path of the storm, hope you're okay too! Here are some aftermath highlights:

My place came through completely unscathed (the impact windows really did hold up), but the studio got... slightly flooded, not from below, but from above:

The ducts that drain the roof became clogged early on in the storm, collecting a pool of water which soon began to leak through the ceiling of the second floor all the way down to the first! Luckily, the water did not reach the actual set and all the equipment. After the hurricane, I climbed up and unclogged the drains, though the roof still needs to be properly repaired and the moisture inside removed.

But the most important issue is that both places, like much of the state still have no power. I waited to make this post-storm update hoping electricity would kick in any day, but no such luck...

Hanging out with no AC in 85-degree weather is not fun. I've been writing and prepping what I can on battery powered devices, but with the month half over, I've got to start producing a video ASAP, so I found a place with power and am relocating my editing gear there.

The current plan is: this month's episode will be one that doesn't require any filming - a second ever installment of "Mr. Flare Explains". Then in October, the exciting conclusion of VFXcool BTTF!

Thanks for sticking around and, you know, for your inexplicably, ridiculously generous support, always <3
