Word on the storm impact from Helene in west North Carolina is that Internet just doesn't exist there. Every fiber path impacted, miles of fiber path gone, access roads to even start damage assessment are no longer there.
Network Engineers are saying days of work to get satellite trailers and basic e911 service restored. Weeks of work for Internet connectivity that even resembles normal.

Currently wondering around Bethnal Green with this lovely hammer to return.
It was used in the 90s by a group of women to disarm (by smashing) an Indonesian Hawk bound for East Timor. They spent 6 months in prison before they were eventually acquitted.
