Keep applying to local services wherever you are so you can secure a place to stay until there are longer term places available. Hang in there and take advantage of local freebies, like meals, showers and legal options. Just keep showing up - you'll be noticed.

Pretty much everything in CO is in the Front Range.

Air fields have aircraft. Hitting air fields reduces the response. Also, many repurposed air fields contain the offices/sites of defense contractors.

Is there a better sub for people who are looking for help? Seems like so many people are in need. I don't think r/Maine is the proper forum. GoFundMe maybe?

1 nuke could take out both BIW and BNAS.

That's not correct. Fallout is not a threat unless it's a ground burst. Only missile silos and bunkers would be targeted with ground bursts.

BIW is definitely a target in a high use scenario. Portland was already leaked as a Chinese countervalue target because it is easy to hit over the poles. They aim to hit at least one city in each state.

The great thing about Maine is that fallout won't be carried here as easily. The explosions aren't the worse part of a nuke (or what kills the most people), instead it's the days of fallout that begins to snow after.

Western Colorado is lovely. Just don't vote for that nutcase Boebert when you get there.

Did the business have any cameras or security system? Seems like a very unfortunate lesson to learn the hard way.

What area are you located in? I know of a place in Portland that is seeking employees and I believe they either already have onsite housing or are planning to build it.

There are jobs out there in which you live on site with the company paying for housing and food if that interests you.

BIW; heavy industry and institutional knowledge also Portsmouth for similar reasons. Air fields by themselves are not strategically important.

More than likely it’s on its way out of state having been traded for a couple days fix worth of heroin. It will if I were a wagering man I would put odds on it turning up somewhere between Connecticut and New York.
In related news look for an OD in the area in the next day or two and you have a prime suspect.

I think the only worthwhile target in Maine outside of the ones you listed would be the VLF towers in Cutler. Not sure how much they're used, though.
Edit: apparently quite a bit
> This allows continuous transmission, crucial since the Navy closed Annapolis (NSS), the only other East Coast VLF station.

Portland, Brunswick NAS, maine Yankee. That's all based off of cold War Era ideals. Loring used to be on there as well. The reality is now that both Brunswick and maine yankee are basically worthless as targets, maine has almost no real worthy targets. Portland only because of size and deep water port, but even that is low on the scale

Jewelry thieves have a reputation for being resourceful and for covering their tracks. They appear to have had a plan for the carrying out the theft; they likely have a plan for disposing of the stolen goods, too.

I’m sorry to hear this is happening. If you call the office where you applied for a housing voucher, they can tell you where you are on the wait list. It might be worth updating your application anyway, especially if you’ve become homeless since you applied—it could bump you up on the list. Also make sure they have the correct mailing address and phone number for you.
In addition to being on the State section 8 list, it may be worth checking if your town has a separate list. I believe South Portland has a list of their own, and other towns might as well.
Asking General Assistance for rental help in your town might be a way to get stable in the short term. It’s a very financially strict program, and a challenge to work through the rental process, but I’ve seen people get successfully housed through them.
Good luck!

It's much cheekier if you post the url to the Google search results, especially since those URLs are massive
