The workers were asked to stay even after part of the parking lot was starting to flood.
It was after the power went out that they closed the factory.
Tennessee didn’t declare a state of emergency in the county until after the flooding started.
What don’t you get? 🙃

Not original commenter, but, I was able to look at the Apple Weather forecast right before I napped at 2pm Friday. The forecast then pretty much said showers for a few hours that day, but definitely was nowhere close to the amount of rain that actually fell. The weather there can be unpredictable.
I took a photo of the forecast on Thu to show campmates, this is what it looked like then: https://sincere-zenith-02b.notion.site/Forecast-Photo-88c591169ea74fd7961136a7f4409a63. Friday was the day with the heaviest rain.
A crew of people is there for a whole month before the event starts, and it pretty much always rains at least once that month, and we read about them having to stop work, shelter, and avoid medical emergencies. This year, Tropical Storm Hilary passed through a week before the event start, and the community as a whole was keeping a keen eye on it.
You may have seen the word 'playa' in reference to the event grounds. In the general English context, 'playa' means 'dry lake'. The entire event is literally held in a dry lake. If you want many square miles of ground that can sometimes be asphalt-like, you go to a dry lake. And for the land speed records, it also happens to be super flat. It's the accumulated standing water that does that.
It’s widely known to most attendees how impassable Black Rock Desert is when it rains. My camp and all the camps around us had food and water for at least a few extra days, and we had more than adequate morale the entire weekend. This year, I personally brought at least 2 weeks worth of kilocalories, and packed 3 raincoats. I handed out 2 of the raincoats to campmates pronto.
If you look at the back of the event's paper ticket, and then the official survival guide, for this year, and years prior, they mention rainstorms, and what to do in such a scenario.
I’m required to reference this old meme: https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/411962-and-then-i-said.
I feel like a lot of that is the medical system’s job. I did get footprinted as a baby born in Massachusetts.
Katana - quiet, and meant as a weapon against humans
Night vision goggles - can take advantage of the cover of night
Water purifier - greatly simplifies one human necessity
Body armor - will put it on whenever there's a risk
None of these are common household items, whereas some of the items on the list are, and thus, scavenged easily enough.
The CCP wants a military that can win against the counterparties in a Taiwan takeover, but the US (and probably a few other countries too) don't want that because of the intellectual property that has been entrusted to TSMC.
The technological trade war is part of the military technology war. However, the US has been fighting military technology wars for over half a century now, so it at least has some practice.
EUV lithography is probably the most powerful military technology that can be stolen since the atomic bomb.
That’s how you lose an election, and you’ll spend every night after thinking about how right you were.
Wait til you see Republicans take credit for the promotions.
