Tornadoes, Opinions & My Witness

avatar

Tornado Alley

I live in a part of the country which is referred to as 'Tornado Alley' because of the frequent common tornadoes that rip through here. The funny thing is, it's not supposed to be that time yet. For those that don't know, one went tearing through here last night. 20 are confirmed dead in my city (I knew 2 of them) and pushing into a thousand without homes and power still across the state. I will be taking a leave of absence from Steem as they have asked for volunteers to help with what they can. I have a truck and a chainsaw that is going to prove useful.

Notice The Outfit

People will be people, with emotions and flaws. I'm no saint or angel, let that be known. That being said, I have seen how people really are, what they really care about and emotions (in my opinion) get really out of hand. You want to know who and why? Come talk to me. Not like I would have ever been accepted by that ring up there anyway. I'm not kissing any fucking asses and I'm not selling out.
Go vote for those top 20's. They have been doing such a good job taking care of things around here. I'll even make it easy on you since you want things to keep going the way they were before. Until further notice, I am shutting down my witness. You want to know why? Come talk to me. Some people will never see what I was doing, their self-interest blinds them to the truth.

  • Witty, out.

The Steem blockchain is currently being attacked by a central authority in order to take control of the witnesses. If you are not managing your witness votes, please consider setting @berniesanders as your witness voting proxy by clicking here to help restore the decentralization of Steem.

Sorry both for the loss of your two friends in the horrific tornado in East Nashville, TN overnight (last count I heard on the national news was 22 lives lost) and to hear you're stepping down as witness, though I understand your reasons @enginewitty

Much love mama. Not sure there will be a blockchain as we know it anymore so don't really see the point. Plus, after 2+ years being a witness, all that I have helped do, and then being treated how I was? I'm not very happy right now.

Hope you manage to get things back t9 normal there on the ground man! Sorry to hear about your lost friends and other community members.

Steem will still be here in some shape or form if and whem you get back. No doubt there will be a cost with what has been going on, but hopefully some benefit will come of it too.

Yes up to 22 and counting. They're half way through the wreckage and there's a couple hundred people unaccounted for. We have a church here where they brought a few unidentified bodies. Not a good day.

Humans = Emotions and I am sure you are filled with a lot of that right now. Take care of real life, that is far more important than this. Sorry for your losses and sorry to see you go.

Love the quote and thank you for the sentiment. Once the proverbial dust settles, I'll see about where I can fit in from a witness standpoint, if at all. Lots of emotions.

I'm glad you're safe, and I agree, there are more important things right now than running a witness. Helping out in your community is a worthy endeavor. As for the witness, if you decide to run it again, you'll have my vote back. Stay real. I know you will.

So sorry to hear of your two friends and the tornado
Stay safe as you go out there to help

I am not entirely sure what's going on and why you are stepping away from "Witness"...
But I want you to know that lately, you have been one of my checkpoints to hang on ....

Hugs Witty

I'm so sorry to hear about the tornado, the damage and lives it took.

I took back most of my votes and gave them to the top witnesses for now, the only two people I left my votes for are you and @c0ff33a - I'll always support you guys!

Take care and take time for what matters to you the most at the moment.

May the memories of times together bring some comfort to you and your friends' families, Witty.

You take care of anything you need to and never forget that your extended fam is here for you to lean on (even if you're not in the mood to). That's the thing with people who love you, we can be such pains in the ass. ;^)
