Although forecasts for Ian's path change daily, the latest data show that it will track to the east of Atlanta, possibly striking Augusta but missing my house. Besides, once it reaches these latitudes, it will likely be a tropical depression, not a hurricane, which means lots and lots of rain but no punishing, tree-toppling winds.
I'm obviously still PTSD'd over the tree that fell on my house in October 2020 (Hurricane Zeta). The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force has advised that doctors screen all adult patients under 65 for anxiety due to the extraordinary stress levels that have plagued the United States since the start of the pandemic. I propose that people over 65 - the demographic most likely to have died from the pandemic - get treated as well. If you lived as long as us, you've seen some shit, man.
