TikTok clips from Helene are worrying. People are wearing shorts, crocs, flipflops, running generators inside wired to underwater appliances/outlets. If they don't get poisoned by or bitten by something pissed off in that water, they're going to get electrocuted or asphyxiated.

@CelluloidBlonde You're right about the risks, but I'm originally from the other side of the Gulf Coast... that's just what people do during hurricanes.
@weirdfizz They could at least wear boots. I don't know how prevalent water moccasins are in FL, but in LA they're all over in floods washed out by flood waters and getting bit by a pissed off displaced water moccasin because you wouldn't put on boots....
