Curious to see how DeSantis spins this one.

I dunno. Spin it like a Hurricane, gurl!

Typical summer in Florida. Helene came in right at the FL bend to maintain strength.

10ft storm surge. not bad but you absolutely cannot hunker down for storms like this. expect everything to be strong.

You should use ceramic and GreenPan is the brand. There are others that are good too, but overall, I'd go with GreenPan. Plus, get a large stainless stockpot for pasta and stuff. Many good brands for that, no need for overpriced All-Clad. I like Cuisinart for budget, "Made-In" brand as a more expensive choice.

Wanna see my nightmare? lol

Now that I have induction cooktop I can't use my wok.

I don't think the national media is grasping the level of devastation in Lebanon, no, in FL, GA, SC, NC, TN, and VA. Whole towns have been washed away. Asheville is cut off from the outside world. 1.3 million people in South Carolina are still without power. It's really bad.

This bad.

Taylor County Sheriff’s Office had a sobering message for residents Thursday as Hurricane Helene bore down on Florida: if you didn’t evacuate, “PLEASE” write your name and birthdate with “A PERMANENT MARKER so you can be identified and family notified.”

Would I still want to use a non-stick saucepan for boiling pasta, though?

No, that's why I said get stainless-steel Cuisinart. Everything else ceramic, like saucepan. No non-stick for anything. Cuisinart is more like the Honda of cookware, not Lexus.
